I can get tunnel visioned and struggle to see the bigger picture.
I knew it was going to take me longer than average to do this and we discussed this from the very start.
Geoff was extremely patient, very helpful and very knowledgeable.
It did take me longer. Much longer.
‘Several’ unsuccessful tests and more hours lessons than my wallet wants to remember.
On my tests, I had some bad drives. I had some good drives with some bad luck. I had two that were SO close, but unsuccessful.
Eventually…….I did it!
A note to anyone struggling:
Just keep trying, you’ll get there.
Think of it as a light on the horizon that you ARE going to reach, no matter what the seas of life throw at you.
Time, patience, effort and commitment.
When the examiner passed me, I was more relieved than excited to be quite honest but now, I am over the moon!!!
Passed my driving test…….at the age of 54. And I have a car.
Thank you Geoff and thank you The Driving Academy.

It took me a while to grasp driving ready for a test but Geoff never puts any pressure on you when you make mistakes or anything. He's a great person to have next to you when you're learning so I would highly recommend and he is always on time and reliable.
Big thanks to Geoff.
