Some excellent news from our Trainee Driving Instructor, "Slav" (prounounced 'Swaav') based near Corby in Northamptonshire. With determination Slav has completed his Part 1 - no mean feat as many of us will recall says trainer Tony of Bishops Stortford. "It took myself several frustrating Part 1 Test attempts to produce the results needed for the Hazard Perception clips. Frankly I think the HP test unfit for purpose as used for the ADI programme - as most experienced drivers anticipate earlier. So well done to Slav for mastering 'the technique' !".
Slav has been preparing for his Part 2 for some months now and his trainers wish him speedy progress to Part 3. Slav trains in Peterborough, Cambridge and Bishops Stortford - with occasional sessions at Goodmayes, near London.
Congratulations to Sophie of Standon, Hertfordshire, who completed her Pass Plus last week. Sophie passed her Practical Driving Test two months ago and decided to wait until the start of the New Year to undertake her Pass Plus with her former instructor Tony Wood in Bishops Stortford. Sophie's course included Town Driving in Cambridge, Motorway and Dual Carriageway using the M11, M25, A10 and A11. Besides that Sophie also did local Rural Driving including Ford crossings and passing heavy farm vehicles. Night driving was a literal eye opener for Sophie, both in town and in the country lanes around Bishops Stortford. Some heavy rain helped cover various adverse weather topics.
