Is This A Record?

German police have reported that an 18 year old has recently managed to lose his driving licence just 49 minutes after passing his driving test!

He was on his way back from the test centre, when his car was checked with a laser speed gun and was found to be travelling at twice the speed limit, 60mph in a 30mph zone.

The German police officer wrote in his report that “some things last forever – others not for an hour.”

The police added that he had four friends in the car and suggested that he may have been trying to impress them with his driving skills.

The teenager has been formally banned for a month, but will only get his licence back after what police describe as “expensive retraining.” He has also been fined 200 euros, been awarded penalty points and a four year probationary period as a new driver.

Holding a full licence for 49 minutes is probably a record, unless anybody out there knows better!

If you would like to learn to drive in a safe and considerate manner, keeping your licence for life, get in touch!

Driving lessons Gloucester - Driving Test Pass - Laura of Gloucester - 1st November 2018.

A very special driving test pass for Laura of Gloucester, who achieved a perfect pass on November 1st, 2018, with her instructor, Sara Povey,scoring zero driving faults! This level of driving requires a lot of concentration and ability and must be recognised as something special. So, congratulations to Laura who did the hard work and to Sara who coached her so well.

Here’s what her instructor Sara had to say:

“Laura did amazingly, passing with an incredible zero driving faults and she got there because she understood that to be a good safe driver, all of the requirements for the test, in terms of what is regarded as a fault, takes discipline to implement.

Now that Laura has worked hard to gain a test pass, she has the perfect foundations to handle any situation on the road and as she gains more experience, her disciplined approach will keep her safe. Just to add…I really enjoyed our lessons and wish Laura the best for the future.”

All of us at John Lowe Driving are delighted for Laura, wish her the best for the future and thank her for using our driving school.

Warm Regards,

Tom Lowe.

Driving Lessons Gloucester - Driving Instructor Profile - Sara Povey - April 12th 2018.

We are delighted to have recruited Sara Povey, another top driving instructor to John Lowe Driving, who is proving to be a great asset to our driving school.
Sara lives in the Forest of Dean, but covers Gloucester and all of our local areas as well, but she enables us to offer driving lessons more easily in the Forest.
So if you're from around Cinderford, Coleford or Lydney, we can offer you quality driving lessons.

Sara has given us a personal profile, describing her aims and style, so here it is in her own words:

"Hello, I'm Sara. To try to describe my style of instruction, I would say that working with my student is the aim, discovering who you are and how we both can work together to reach your goal of becoming a great, safe driver! Where there are challenges, we can work together to get through them.

My love of driving stems from being entertained by a weekly visit to Wimbledon car racing stadium, where the aim of the banger racing is to smash into one another, but that's entertainment!

Out on the public roads, things are very different, and I love to be part of making the roads available to all kinds of drivers. To experience a relaxed and safe drive is the goal and each driver on our roads can make that happen purely by choosing to drive well and considerately. So, let's make that happen!

A little about me......as the job of a driving instructor is sedentary, I'm keen to keep fit and alert, so I swim and run each week! This allows me to arrive invigorated and all set to be a positive influence on my students, because I can truly say that I love my job.
I meet lots of really lovely, interesting people and gain reward from their progression.
I'm always happy to talk any subject on top of driving, and always more than happy to take on any challenge...as life is about challenges..."

Sara Povey, April 2018.

So, whether you're from the Gloucester or the Forest of Dean and you want to start, or continue your driving lessons, we are here to give you all you need to succeed.
