Congratulations Bryn passing today on his first attempt 🏆🏆 good luck in your new job, it’s been a pleasure teaching you ☺️

Congratulations Macy passing on your first attempt today with only four driving faults 🙌 new job and driving licence all in one week, smashing life 👊🏻 ❤️

Congratulations Emily passing today on your first attempt 💪🚙 all the practice with myself and your grandad really paid off. It’s been lovely watching your confidence grow, good luck at uni ❤️

This is a hard watch and very upsetting but a strong message of why we emphasis safety so much on lessons. Driving gives you a new sense of freedom but with a whole more load of responsibility. As a driver you’re responsible for the safety of every person in your car. God bless this girls family 🙏

Bodycam footage released by Durham Constabulary captures the moments after a speeding driver crashed, killing one of his passengers. Abbie Devanney, who was celebrating her 18th birthday that day, was killed instantly. The bodycam video, as well as mobile phone footage taken in the lead up to the crash, has been shared with the consent of all the families involved. In the aftermath driver Charlie Whittaker can be heard telling officers "the one to blame is always the one who is alright". His mother, who arrived at the scene in Consett in 2023, meanwhile says: "It's terrible, my son has crashed his car...I told him so many times." The then 17-year-old was jailed in April 2025 for more than five years after admitting causing death and serious injury by dangerous driving.

Another first time pass this week, well done Summer passing today with only 4 driving faults. You’ve been a pleasure to teach and the extra lessons and effort really paid off! Big shout out to your mum too for all the practice in her car☺️

Congratulations Lucas passing today on your first attempt!! You’ve worked really hard to be ready for your test even after your rugby injury. I’m very proud of you and good luck in your rugby career 🏉☺️

IMPORTANT WARNING FOR LEARNER DRIVERS

If you are using unofficial driving test apps, websites, social media groups, or paying someone online to find you a driving test, you need to read this.

Since 12 May 2026, only the learner driver is allowed to book, change, swap or cancel a car driving test.

The DVSA has made it very clear that learners must not:

❌ Use unofficial apps or websites that scan the driving test booking system

❌ Give their booking details to someone else so they can manage their test

❌ Use people on social media who claim they can find or book earlier tests

If you are caught doing this, the DVSA may:

⚠️ Suspend your ability to manage your test online

⚠️ Restrict you to booking or changing tests by telephone only

⚠️ Cancel your driving test completely

The DVSA has confirmed they are actively monitoring the system and will take action where they believe bookings have not been made legitimately or where their terms and conditions have been breached.

Learners should remember three simple rules:

✅ Only use the official GOV.UK website

✅ Never pay anyone on social media to find a test

✅ Never give your booking details to anyone else

There are genuine learners waiting for tests across the country. The purpose of these changes is to make the booking system fairer for everyone.

If you know a learner driver, please share this with them.

Losing a driving test because of an unofficial app or scammer would be a very expensive mistake.
