“Passed first time with two minors. Amara made the Mancunian Way roundabout feel like a car park by week six.”

“Ten days, one instructor, licence on day eleven. Ravi texted notes every evening so I knew exactly what to fix.”

“I quit two schools before Clutch. Leila never once raised her voice, and I passed with zero serious faults.”

“Callum booked my motorway session for a wet November night on purpose. Annoying then, brilliant now.”

“Thirty years without driving. Four sessions with Delroy and I did the school run on my own on Monday.”

“CBT on Saturday, commuting on a 125 the week after. Hannah is calm on the radio even when you are not.”

“Mock tests on the actual routes made the real test feel like lesson twenty seven. One minor for a late signal.”

“Switched from manual after failing on clutch control. Twelve more hours in the automatic and I passed clean.”

“I learned to drive in Shanghai. Leila turned roundabouts from terrifying into slightly fun in three sessions.”
