At the last MSA National Conference in March this year, DVSA registrar Mark Magee, hinted at the idea of substituting the current PST based Part 3 entrance exam with a Standards Check style driving lesson assessment instead. To be honest, this idea has been around for a very long time now, even preceding the Standards Check, with the idea of a traditionally assessed (Check Test) type driving lesson with a real customer as the assessment instead of a role playing examiner assessing the performance based on one of the ten PSTs.

Today I passed my test first time having learnt to drive in three months and I still can't quite believe it! I couldn't recommend Wimbledon Driving School and in particular my AMAZING instructor Azim Ismail enough!! Azim is incredibly knowledgable, patient, calming, professional, organised and full of tips such as easy reference points to remember. Before my lessons with Azim, I had taken a two-hour lesson with another instructor from a different driving school and the difference in teaching abilities was immense. I am so glad I switched over to the WDS. I couldn't have asked for a better instructor and I am so thankful to Azim for calming my nerves through all our conversations and for enabling me to pass so quickly with his excellent teaching. Thank you!!
