31July 2021
Congratulations to Sean Birkett who has passed his test on his FIRST ATTEMPT on 30th July 2021! Well done Sean!
Sean was originally supposed to take his test on 31st March 2020, but had it cancelled a week beforehand, due to lockdown. Then every subsequent test date he was given, ended up being just a few days after we had gone into another lockdown! I’ve actually lost track of how many tests we have been working towards. Was this the 4th or 5th Sean? I’m not sure anymore!
Understandably, today was especially nerve racking for you, due to the fact that your theory test will soon expire (through no fault of your own!) but you were under the added pressure of having to join yet another long waiting list to retake the theory test if you hadn’t passed today, due to DVSA deciding that they won’t extend the expiry dates of them.
Not only that, but I had recently had to isolate for 10 days, and cancel some of your pre-test lessons. You really must have been thinking what else can go against me!
It was lovely to see your girlfriend’s reaction when you showed her your pass certificate. You thoroughly deserve your result, especially as you ended up getting the one manoeuvre you had least wanted to get. But all the parallel parking practice we’ve done over the past couple of days, really did pay dividends today, you have now become parallel parking expert! Enjoy your celebrations, and hope you have many years of happy and safe driving!
