Congratulations to Andrii Bysaha from Macclesfield who passed his driving test on 26th August

Congratulations to Andrii Bysaha from Macclesfield who passed his driving test at Macclesfield Driving Test Centre on 26th August at the very FIRST attempt!

What a fantastic result today, Andrii. You said you were excited about the test, but also a little nervous, and that has proved to be the perfect combination. Maybe your holiday in Spain last week also helped to prepare you for today!

You’ve picked up everything so quickly on your driving lessons and reached this point so much more quickly than most. This is especially amazing as you haven’t had any extra practice in between your lessons. I’m so happy for you. You’ve told me that you are going to look for a car now, so don’t forget to give me a wave when you see me.

All the very best for the future from your driving instructor Amanda and all the customer service team here at Geoff Capes Driving School.

Congratulations to Rhaya Lewis-Francis from Macclesfield who passed her driving test at Macclesfield Driving Test Centre on 15th August at her very FIRST attempt!

Such a fantastic result today, Rhaya, well done. I’m so happy for you, especially after you had the disappointment of having your test date moved back by a few weeks. You’ve worked really hard on all your driving lessons, and then put in extra practice in your own car. All that effort has paid off, and you can now enjoy your freedom. Don’t forget to give me a wave from your car if see me out there!l the very best for the future from your driving instructor Amanda and all the customer service team here at Geoff Capes Driving School
