In this episode I talk with two of my own past learners about their experience learning to drive. Georgia came to Devon from her home in Kent to take a job at a local hotel having taken lessons with an instructor at home. Georgia's lessons were interrupted by the last of the Covid lock downs but she passed at the first attempt on the second day of tests resuming in April 2021.

Abbey lives a stones throw from my house and started lessons with me at the ripe old age of 28 (!). She explains why she left it so long after having had a try 10 years earlier. Abbey was extremely nervous but was determined to get her full licence which she achieved in September 2022.

With both of them I finish by discussing what they have done post-test. In Georgia's case there hasn't been a lot of driving due to the wonderful opportunity she has given herself working on yachts in some exotic places whilst Abbey tells me of some of the journeys she is now doin g alone, something that she could only dream of before.
