Driving Test Success in Navan – Orla

20140404-195335.jpg

Congratulations to Orla Clarke who passed her driving test in Navan on 26th March 2014. Her first attempt with iDrive!

Orla came to us, having failed previously,for a pretest and a few lessons leading up to her test.
During her pretest I identified a number of issues that Orla had to work on. Use of her mirrors, her reverse and her clutch use were some of them.
Orla was really determined to pass this time round and worked extremely hard to fix her clutch faults in particular. She had be clutching in too early, not fully releasing between gear changes and often releasing the clutch too quickly causing the car to jerk.
On the day I was delighted to Orla get no marks for her clutch at all, a huge improvement.

Really well done Orla, told you you could do it!! Safe driving!!>

Driving Test Success in Navan – Laura

Congratulations to Laura Keogh who passed her driving test in Navan on 25th March 2014 at the FIRST attempt!!

Laura came to iDrive for Essential Driver Training after being recommended by a friend who had passed with us.
We went through the first few lessons on a weekly basis then Laura went off, gained some more experience and came back after a few months to finish the rest and prepare for her test.

She was a little quick off her clutch at times and her braking could be a little severe at times. She intended to do her test in her own car but unusually she was driving the iDrive Fiesta better than her own car, which she was used to. She ended up deciding to use the Fiesta for the test and it paid off!!

Her tester congratulated her on a very good drive!!

Well done Laura, drive safely and thanks for using iDrive!!>

Driving Test Success in Navan – Sean

Congratulations to Sean Lawlor who passed his driving test in Navan on Tuesday 25th March 2014 at the FIRST attempt and with ZERO driving faults!!!!

Sean came to iDrive for Essential Driver Training with virtually no experience. He availed of the First Ireland insurance discount scheme and got himself a little car to practice in.

He did really well throughout his EDT lessons and was in a good place heading into his test.

He made a few errors in the hour leading up to his test and I made sure he was totally focused to make sure he eliminated as many of these faults as possible and that he did!!

It’s extremely unusual for a pupil to get through their test with no faults at all. It’s an excellent achievement!!

Well done Sean on an outstanding test result. Safe driving!! >

Driving Test Success in Navan – Ciarán

Ciaran Curtis

Congratulations to Ciarán Curtis who passed his driving test in Navan today, 13th March 2014, less than SIX months after starting to drive!

Ciarán came to iDrive as pretty much a total beginner. He had a learner permit dated before April 2011 therefore he didn’t have to do Essential Driver Training (E.D.T.) We started off with 2 hour lessons to get him quickly up to speed and on the road. Keen to learn and progress he listened to all the advice I gave him and worked hard to improve. Once insured on a family car he practiced as often as possible between lessons to perfect his skills.

All the effort and determination paid off on the day and he passed well. He even had a Testing Supervisor in the car with him as well as his actual tester, no pressure there!!

Well done Ciarán!

Congratulations to Mick Jardine who passed his driving test in Navan today, 7th March 2014.

Mick came to iDrive having failed a test some years ago. He started off with a 2hr pretest where I identified a number of faults with his use of the clutch, acceleration and observational errors.
Mick worked really hard between the pretest and the actual test to eliminate EVERY one of those errors and only picked up TWO driving errors for progress turning left. Even the tester commented on how good a drive he put in.

Well done Mick, happy and safe driving!!

Driving Test Success in Navan – David

Congratulations to David Martin who passed his driving test in Navan on Tuesday 4th March 2014 at his FIRST attempt!!

David had been driving for a number of years and came for a pretest a week before his test. We identified a number of issue including clutch and observational errors as well as trouble with his manouevres.

In a few days and with lots of practice he eliminated the clutch errors and didn’t collect any faults for this aspect of his driving!

Really well done David, drive safely!!!

Driving Test Success in Navan – Celine

Celine

Congratulations to Celine who passed her driving test in Navan today, 20th February 2014.

Celine came to iDrive for a pretest a few days before her test. During the pretest we identified observational errors. Things like not using the mirror before signalling, over observing or not looking in the right places prior to and during turns. She was also unsure of how to carry out her manoeuvres.

Having sat 2 driving tests previously, before coming to iDrive, Celine was determined to pass this time round. She worked extremely hard to fix her bad habits and even coped with having her seat re-positioned, the hour before her test, to help eliminate a clutch fault. Thankfully she coped with this late change and she didn’t pick up any marks for her clutch during her test!

Really well done Celine, safe driving!!!

Chris McMahon

Driving Test Success in Navan – Chris

Congratulations to Chris who passed his test in Navan today, 7th February 2014 at the FIRST attempt!

Chris came to iDrive for Essential Driver Training (E.D.T.)
He had some road experience before starting but mainly driver tractors and the like. This proved both a help but sometimes a hindrance as he’d often postion the Fiesta on the road as if he was in the tractor!!
He took a few additional lessons, after completing EDT, in order to sharpen up his skills and go over some test routes. He really improved over these final few lessons and by the time his test came round was reversing around the corner beautifully!

He passed just a few short weeks after his 18th birthday.

Well done Chris, drive safely!

Aaron Fitzhenry

Driving Test Success in Navan – Aaron

Congratulations to Aaron Fitzhenry who passed his driving test in Navan on 4th February 2014 at the FIRST attempt!!!
Aaron was our 2nd pupil to pass that day.

Aaron came to iDrive for Essential Driver Training (E.D.T.). When he came he’d already done EDT 1 with another instructor but decided to change after his brother had already passed FIRST time with us. Aaron became a good, confident driver during the course of the EDT lessons and then wanted to put in some extra work on test preparation as he was determined to pass first time!

His effort was rewarded on the day with a pass. It goes to show that if you prepare properly for the test you increase your chances of passing FIRST TIME!

Well done Aaron, drive safely!

Driving Test Success in Navan – Philip

Philip McCrory

Congratulations to Philip McCrory who passed his driving test in Navan on 4th February 2014 at the FIRST attempt!!

Philip, who could already drive, came to iDrive for a pretest and a couple of lessons to iron out his bad habits.
He listened well to all the advice given to him, working hard to eliminate as many of his errors as possible which paid off on the day!

Well done Philip, here’s to many years safe and happy motoring!
