Another great result; this time for Gracie Spencer of Windsor. Gracie passed her practical driving test in Chertsey this morning and on her first attempt. The test was based upon following Satnav with a right hand reverse and Gracie’s fault count was just two driving faults.
All the very best from Andy Shrimpton your blue Driving Instructor and all the team
