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 – Edita

Edita

Congratulations to Edita who passed her driving test in Navan on Friday 21st March 2014.

This was Edita’s 2nd test with iDrive having failed 3 weeks earlier for a simple error of not proceeding at a flashing amber light on a pedestrian crossing when no pedestrians were using it (it really can be that easy to fail!!) Other than this error she’d have passed easily.

She came back for a couple of refresher lessons before her re-sit and passed very easily with a low score on the day, despite the poor weather conditions and heavy Friday evening traffic!!

Well done Edita, safe driving!!

Driving Test Success in Navan – Dylan

Dylan

Congratulations to Dylan Coyne who passed his driving test in Navan on Thursday 20th March 2014 at the very FIRST attempt!

Dylan came to iDrive for Essential Driver Training on the referral of a friend. Dylan could already drive but it’s fair to say he had some bad habits that he needed to lose. Dylan quickly knuckled down and worked very hard to get rid of the existing faults he had. He worked very hard to master new skills like the turnabout and reverse too.

He passed his test 5 months after commencing EDT and managed this through hard work and determination to get it first time and he really deserved to do so.

Well done Dylan and safe driving!!

Driving Test Success in Navan – Eoin

Eoin

Congratulations to Eoin Markey who passed his driving test in Navan on Wednesday 19th March 2014 at the very FIRST attempt!!

Eoin came to iDrive having already completed his Essential Driver Training. He came for a pre-test and 2 other lessons before his test. A natural driver who was very easy to teach. His observations were excellent and the use of his mirrors first class. His reverse around the corner needed a little bit of sharpening though.

I was extremely confident Eoin would pass as he headed off with his tester and he didn’t disappoint.

Well done Eoin, safe driving!!

Driving Test Success in Navan – Claire

Claire

Congratulations to Claire Breathnach who passed her driving test in Navan on Wednesday 19th March 2014 at the FIRST attempt!!

Claire came to iDrive without any driving experience whatsoever for Essential Driver Training. She completed her EDT lessons without any real private practice between them. She really worked hard and was determined to pass first time. Her observations were excellent but the thing Claire found most difficult was reversing around the corner. This was something we spent a bit of time on, even devoting the hour immediately before her test to it solely.

I was personally delighted to see Claire pass first time. She was a model pupil, listened intently and always worked hard to improve her driving.

Massive congratulations Claire, really well done!!!

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!!!
