Big congratulations to Jordan Clifford-Townend of Stockport on passing his practical driving test at Bredbury Test Centre on 2nd July at the very FIRST attempt with ZERO driving faults.
The perfect drive from you today Jordan and even more impressive considering you only had one driving lesson to adapt to a different car. As Maverick said, ‘it’s not the plane, it’s the pilot’ and you proved that today. You have been an outstanding student, really committed to your driving lessons and development. Good luck and be safe out there.
All the very best from your driving instructor Simon and all the customer care team here at Geoff Capes Driving School

Congratulations to Louis Storey from Bollington who passed his driving test at Macclesfield Driving Test Centre on 30th June at the very FIRST attempt!
What a fantastic result today Louis! You absolutely smashed it, even though you’d started to doubt yourself over the last few weeks. And don’t forget, the examiner said it was a pleasure to be in the car with you. You’ve put in so much effort all along, and picked things up really quickly. I was amazed when you told me you didn’t really enjoy it, but you knew you needed to drive.
Just wait until you have your own van to put the bikes in and head off wherever you want! I think you’ll change your mind then.
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 Milton Gomes, of Cheadle Heath Stockport, on passing his practical driving test in an automatic car on 24th June 2026, at the Bredbury Test Centre.
What a fantastic result today Milton, a very well-deserved test pass. You were unlucky on your first test and went into this test differently. You were relaxed and changed your seating style and footwear, which helped you to be more comfortable.
It’s been an absolute pleasure meeting you and teaching you to drive. We have had plenty of football chats along the way. I will miss these chats during our driving lessons. Massive thanks for the referrals too. In each lesson, you listened to any feedback and put this into practice. Now you can relax further and start driving yourself around and picking up your daughter from nursery without walking.
I wish all the very best, have fun searching for your car, and I wish you, your daughter, and partner the very best.
Wishing you all the best from your driving instructor Doug, and the customer support team here at Geoff Capes Driving School

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.

Don’t forget to give me a wave from your car when you see me around Macclesfield.

It just goes to show how determined and motivated you were, and how capable you are. I’m proud of you. You can now share the driving on your weekend work and to college, life will be so much easier.

Congratulations to Chris Seal, from Hazel Grove, Stockport, on passing his practical driving test in an automatic car on 28th May 2026, at the Bredbury Test Centre.
Chris, what a massive result today, you held your own and put to bed the test fail you had previously. You went into the test a little nervous, and you adapted your style to give yourself more time to talk yourself through certain situations. This paid off on the day, coming away with a well-deserved pass from Craig, the examiner.
Chris, what a pleasure it’s been being your driving instructor. We hit it off straight away, and this helped us shape our driving lessons each week. It’s been a great journey watching you learn each week and also becoming a parent for the first time.
We have had plenty of laughs along the way and plenty of chats about football and F1; I will miss these chats.
All the very best, searching for your first car and driving the family around, well, until Emma starts her lessons and takes over when she passes. I look forward to teaching her. All the best with your daughter, and I will see you for that motorway lesson, where I hold on for dear life!! Haha.

Congratulations to Charlotte Holt from Cheadle, Stockport, on passing her practical driving test in an automatic car on her very FIRST attempt on the 22nd May 2026, at the Bredbury Test Centre.
A very special pass for you today, Charlotte. This day has been coming for a long while. We started lessons almost 2 years ago. On your first day, you were very comfortable speaking with me and advising me that you are autistic. That conversation shaped our future lessons and helped me to understand how you feel and what you can manage to complete a subject. We always adapted the lesson to suit you and your needs. With each driving lesson, your knowledge grew and grew, and you felt confident enough to explore multitasking.
I want to thank you for helping me understand the autistic world and, more importantly, how you felt and what works for you. We worked very well together.
I am going to miss our chats and lessons each week, enjoy looking for your first car and having the independence of getting around.
Wishing you all the best from your driving instructor Doug, and the customer support team here at Geoff Capes Driving School
22nd May 2026

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 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

On the day you did have some pre test nerves but you held your own. You can now drive yourself to work instead of taking a taxi. It’s been a pleasure teaching you.
Best wishes from your driving instructor Jonny and all the customer support team here at Geoff Capes Driving school

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.

You have been a pleasure to teach, always striving for excellence and working hard to ensure you are a safe driver.
All the very best from your driving instructor Simon and all the customer care team here at Geoff Capes Driving School.

Helena it’s been a pleasure. Our time together has been short due to coming from another driving instructor, and we were able to work on some issues including roundabouts and your mirrors. During this time your confidence has really grown and you never gave up. You came to every lesson with determination, and this showed today.
Despite some pretest nerves you handled the driving test very well and came away with that important pass you wanted. Make sure to wave at me from your new car when you see me on the roads.
Best wishes from your driving instructor Jonny and all the customer support team here at Geoff Capes Driving School.

Congratulations to Imogen Wicks of Reddish, Stockport, on passing her practical driving test in an automatic car on her FIRST attempt on 25th February 2026, at the Bredbury Test Centre.
What an amazing journey we have been on. We have had lots of laughs and highs, along with some tears and lows in lessons; the biggest thing is that you never gave up.
You had to wait a long time for this moment due to your Theory Test struggles. I’m so proud of you for never quitting. You often doubted yourself and said that I don’t know in certain situations. Today’s pass proves that you did know and that you smashed out of the park, coming away with just 3 faults and Mark, the examiner, gave you excellent feedback with that amazing pass.
I am really going to miss our driving lessons and time spent in the car, although our journey doesn’t fully end, with your sister taking driving lessons with me.
All the best in finding your first car, driving yourself around and all the best with your own business.
Wishing you all the best from your driving instructor Doug, and the customer support team here at Geoff Capes Driving School

Emily, you have always shown a passion to learn to drive, and you understood everything I instructed you. You learnt from your mistakes and understood them clearly.
You were really unlucky the first time around, and with excellent feedback, you carried on and didn’t give up. Since then, you purchased your own car and went out for extra practice.
You were a little nervous on the day, but you didn’t let it get to you, and you took the same route as in your first test. You kept composed, avoided the mistakes from last time, and came away with that all-important pass from Angela, the examiner.
All the best driving yourself around to dancing, family and good luck in your new job.
Wishing you all the best from your driving instructor Doug, and the customer support team here at Geoff Capes Driving School

Congratulations to Ana Romanow of Davenport, Stockport, on passing her practical driving test in an automatic car on her very FIRST attempt on 16th January 2026, at the Bredbury Test Centre.
What an incredible journey we have had. You started your journey with me from scratch after having a couple of driving lessons with another driving instructor who was making you do things you shouldn’t be doing and pressuring you to book your test straight away. This put doubt in your mind, and you were a little apprehensive to start.
You quickly settled down and felt very relaxed and comfortable with me as your instructor, so much so that you instantly recommended me to someone else.
I am going to miss you, and I have loved having you as a pupil; your determination and doing things in your own time have resulted in your test pass. I’m super proud of you.
All the very best in finishing your house project, your Uni work and becoming everything that we have talked about!!
Wishing you all the best from your driving instructor, Doug, and the customer support team here at Geoff Capes Driving School

Congratulations to Jade Cooper of Offerton, Stockport, on passing her practical driving test in an automatic car on her FIRST attempt on 15th January 2026, at the Bredbury Test Centre.
You started nervously and were unsure whether you were doing the correct thing; you often questioned yourself, and in your head, you cancelled your test so many times leading up to the test. With some positive feedback from me, you started to see that you were good enough to pass your test.
You were always engaged and asked relevant questions at the correct time, which also boosted your confidence each week.
You were a little nervous leading up to the test time; however, you kept composed and came away with that all-important pass from Phil the examiner.
I will miss our morning driving lessons and chats during the lesson. The very best for your renovation and business, and looking for an automatic car to share. Wishing you all the best from your driving instructor Doug, and the customer support team here at Geoff Capes Driving School

On the day of your test you were confident and this clearly showed with a pass. Now you can drive your children to school and also drive yourself to work. I will miss our driving lessons together and wish you all the best for the future.
Best wishes from your driving instructor Jonny and all the customer support team here at Geoff Capes Driving School.
