Recent Passes in Glossop

Owen Dobbs from Glossop passed his driving test first time on 19th March 2026

Congratulations to Owen Dobbs of Glossop who passed his driving test on 19th March at the FIRST attempt at Bredbury Test Centre.

A calm and controlled drive from you today Owen. You worked hard to get to test standard and pushing your test back from the original date was definitely the right decision. Having the same examiner who your girlfriend passed with spurred you on as well.

Best wishes for the future from your instructor Steve and all the team at Geoff Capes Driving School

A first time driving test pass for Emma Simpson from Glossop on 10th March 2026

Congratulations to Emma Simpson of Glossop who passed her driving test at the FIRST attempt on 10th March at Buxton Test Centre.

When your examiner gave you the news that you had passed Emma I think your tears said it all. This will make such a difference to you and your son William’s lives. For you driving hasn’t been a problem, you said that passing your Theory Test was the biggest hurdle.

Best wishes for the future from your driving instructor Steve and all the team at Geoff Capes Driving School

Kayley Catchpole from Glossop passed her driving test on the 6th March 2026

Congratulations to Kayley Catchpole of Glossop who passed her driving test at the very FIRST attempt on 6th March at Buxton Test Centre.

Well done Kayley, it doesn’t seem long since you were too nervous to leave the housing estate on your early driving lessons and now look at you.

A big year for you with you leaving to teach at Summer Camp in the States in June.

Best wishes for the future from your instructor Steve and all the team at Geoff Capes Driving School.
