Amy Jayne from Offerton in Stockport passed her test at the first attempt on 14th April 2026

Congratulations to Amy Jayne Elliott, from Offerton, Stockport, on passing her practical driving test in an automatic car on her very FIRST attempt on 14th April 2026, at the Bredbury Test Centre.

Amy, it’s been a pleasure being your driving instructor and watching you learn each week. You had challenges along the way, including not believing in yourself, self-doubt, and uncertainty at times during your drives. Today’s pass proves you can do it. Now you can rest easy, start believing in yourself, and drive confidently.

It’s been an amazing journey watching you become a mum for the first time and listening to your stories about the baby.

Leading up to test day, your nerves were playing a part in your driving lessons, and again, the self-doubt crept in by making errors. You were nervous on the day; however, having a joke with Angela, the examiner, eased these before you got in the car. On the test, you were relaxed and came away with that all-important pass.

All the very best, searching for your first car and driving yourself around, and no doubt being a taxi for family.

Wishing you all the best from your driving instructor, Doug, and the customer support team here at Geoff Capes Driving School

Big congratulations to Taio Wellington from Stockport on passing his practical driving test at Bredbury Test Centre on 10th March at the very FIRST attempt with ZERO driving faults.

The perfect drive from you today Taio, really showcasing your skills to the examiner. Your original test date was cancelled due to the examiner not being available, however you didn’t get your head down about it, you used the time to further practice and it was all rewarded today.

You have been a pleasure to teach, always striving for excellence and working hard to ensure you are a safe driver.

Olivia passed her test on 4th December 2025

I took my lessons with Doug and recently passed my test. I am diagnosed with autism and ADHD and Doug took this in his stride and adapted my lessons entirely to me. He is patient and understanding and I couldn’t have asked for someone better to teach me how to drive. We were able to have a laugh whilst on my lessons which put me at ease when I was having a more difficult day. Unfortunately Doug wasn’t able to take me on my test date but it was easily resolved when Jonny (another instructor with GC) was able to. Jonny was also very easy to gel with and motivating and I appreciate him for catering to my test day. I would recommend Doug and Geoff Capes 100%. Reasonably priced and my driving experience with them was definitely enjoyable.

Congratulations to Amy Clarke from Marple on your 1st time driving test pass!

My lessons with Doug have been brilliant. I had lessons in college and I cried in ALL of them as my driver instructor made me feel bad for being anxious. I started again this year and was worried about having the same experience. I needn’t have worried as Doug was brilliant. Explained everything brilliantly, clearly and calmly. I felt so at ease learning with Doug and having just passed my test I cannot stop smiling. Doug has come to get me from work before when my train home was cancelled for a lesson! His explanations are clear and his feedback is specific and constructive, with marginal gains to improve each time. I felt at ease and now driving clears my head. Passed today first time with 3 minors in a storm!
