"I was so nervous about driving near the A12. My instructor started me on the quiet streets near Three Mills and we built up slowly. By week 6, I was handling the A12 junction confidently. Passed first time at Goodmayes!"

"The A11 Bow Road terrified me when I started. My instructor was so patient, starting me on the quiet streets near Victoria Park. We built up my confidence gradually. By week 6, I was handling the Bow Road with no problems. Passed first time!"
