From as early as I can remember I wanted to drive. At the age of 7 I was once found by my next-door neighbour at 6am sitting in my parent’s car, in the driver’s seat – keys in hand, apparently going to “see my granny”!
I passed my driving test a few months after my 17th birthday and have been in love with driving ever since.
It’s safe to say, if it has wheels, I have probably wanted to drive it. Sadly, my experience is limited to cars, vans, motorbikes and the occasional fork lift truck but I live in hope of adding more in the future.
I had been interested in becoming an advanced driver for a number of years but didn’t know anyone that did it and while it didn’t look hard to find a suitable group, I was nervous of it being out of my league. That was soon corrected when I met a previous group member, John Badley through work. He told me everything I needed to know and encouraged me to join up. Before long I was being trained by Roy and passed my test a few months later.
One of the things Roy always encourages his associates to do is to become a tutor once they have passed their test. I have always enjoyed teaching as part of my normal job so I knew this is something I would enjoy.
I joined the tutoring team in 2017 and upgraded from Approved Tutor to Advanced Tutor in 2020. I have managed to tutor a number of members to test standard look forward to helping members achieve their own driving goals in the future.
