In the current heatwave, but particularly on Monday and Tuesday, it is important to make sure that you take sensible precautions to ensure you stay cool, particularly if you know your health can be sensitive to the heat. No blanket decision to cancel lessons has been...

Whizzing over towards Brands Hatch this morning to meet with an elderly lady, who is now driving her car with hand controls, to ensure she can remain independent despite her recent illness and mobility issues. I really enjoy our chats and helping her develop new car...
Three anxious drivers will chauffeur me around today….. Their different coping strategies interest me! The first has discovered that if we walk around as we plan our session at the start, it discharges the panic that she finds builds prior to a lesson. The...
Working with a mix of lovely drivers today: Starting with a Polish lady who has dyspraxic tendencies and wants help with dealing with getting lost when on big roundabouts when driving ahead or turning right. A first on-road lesson with a lad with Global Developmental...
A lovely mix of drivers sharing my day today: A profoundly deaf lady approaching her driving test and getting clarity on test criteria. A lady that wants to be confident with her young son in the car on a mix of roads, how to deal with tantrums and setting...
Following a move to a more rural location, it was time for me to bite the bullet and learn to drive. I'd had lessons previously and got as far as sitting a test, but that was nearly forty years ago! I didn't just feel rusty when it came to what I knew about driving; it was so far in the past, it was like it had never happened! To say I was nervous about picking it up again was a massive understatement and just the thought of driving made me feel sick with nerves.
Luckily a friend had recommended Lin to me and she immediately put me at my ease from our very first email conversation. Lin has a real knack for making you feel comfortable in lessons whilst challenging you at just the right level. I would finish lessons amazed at what I'd achieved. Lin helped me to focus on the difference that being able to drive would make to me and to my family and keeping that goal in mind really kept me going through the whole process.
If anyone had told me in January this year when I had my first lesson that I'd have passed my test by November, I just wouldn't have believed them. Thankfully, Lin believed in me all the way and I'm eternally grateful to her for that.
A very well deserved test result for Sally Harper in Sevenoaks today. What a lovely drive!! I'm so proud of you overcoming chronic anxiety to make this possible. Looking forward to meeting up with you after Christmas and hearing of all the places you have managed to get to with Cora. Congratulations..... enjoy your licence xx
Did you know our Driving Mobility Centres offer an assessment to help older drivers update their skills or help with lost confidence.
As vehicles become more sophisticated and roads busier, the need for updating driving skills as we get older becomes more important and there is a clear need to help people maintain safe driving.
It can be particularly useful to have an assessment before applying to renew your licence as the report can be used to advise DVLA as to how safe you are when driving.
Our aim is to help older drivers continue driving safely for as long as they can.
A sensational result for Savannah Walton today, passing her driving test in Tunbridge Wells in some style! Savannah overcame many difficulties (Dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADHD, ASD, neuralgia, chronic anxiety, a mix of sensory issues and chronic fatigue ) and using many planned strategies to make today the success it was. A truly life changing event for her...... I can't wait to hear about her drives in the coming weeks! Congratulations Savannah!🚗💨
