Evening all, hope everybody is keeping well!
Following on from advice from Boris this evening, driving lessons are unfortunately still postponed. This is due to social distancing requirements, and being unable to keep 2 metres apart.
The next review date by government is the last week of May / Before June 1st, so hopefully I will be able to deliver some good news by then!
Those of you studying for Theory tests, remember I am still here to help.
Those who have had practical tests booked, we will still have time to fit in sessions to get you back up to speed after the break.
Stay safe and if you've any questions, feel free to drop me a line
See you all soon
