Ellie from Macclesfield who passed in the automatic car on 11th June 2026

Congratulations to Ellie Preece from Macclesfield, on passing her driving test in an automatic car, on her very FIRST attempt at Macclesfield Test centre on 11th June 2026.

Ellie it’s been a pleasure teaching you from start to finish. You always turned up with a smile and your sense of humour and a willingness to improve on each driving lesson. You set yourself the goal of wanting to give you and your family more independence and that showed today with that all important test pass.

On the day of your test you overcame some pre-test nerves, and also the very wet conditions on the roads that were presented to you. You held your own and can now walk away as a full licence holder.

Best wishes from your driving instructor Jonny and all the customer support team here at Geoff Capes Driving School

Congratulations to Lara Treanor from Macclesfield who passed her driving test at Macclesfield Driving Test Centre on 9th June.

Absolutely brilliant result today Lara, I’m so happy for you. Not just for the result, but on completing a great drive in truly awful weather! With thunderstorms, heavy rain and hailstones, it can’t have been easy for you, but you smashed it. All the extra practice you’ve had with your parents has really paid off. Don’t forget to give me a wave from your car when you see me around Macclesfield.

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

Recently passed my test after learning with Jonny! What an amazing experience from start to finish. Having previously started learning I was very nervous to have a new instructor but Jonny was absolutely brilliant! No question was ever silly and he was so calm and patient the lessons were amazing. He was so thorough when explaining everything he taught! I am so glad I went with Jonny for my lessons and passed 1st time! Would highly reccomend Jonny to anybody looking for lessons🙂 Thanks again Jonny!
