In this episode, Kev and Tracey are joined by Laura Johnson from Driving Test Success—a trainee driving instructor and social media content creator—who brings fresh insights into the learner journey, handling nerves, and navigating today's online driving advice.

We chat about:

• The pros and pitfalls of using social media as a learning tool for driving, and how to spot trusted sources
• Managing nerves and the fear of judgment—both as a learner and a trainee instructor—especially when it comes to tests and driving under pressure
• Practical strategies for being kinder to yourself, focusing on your own progress, and making constructive use of feedback

While listening to this episode, ask yourself:

• How do you feel social media has influenced your learning or confidence as a driver?
• When have nerves or fear of judgment held you back—and how did you respond?
• What’s one way you could be kinder to yourself as you build your skills behind the wheel?

This week, Kev and Tracey welcomed Amanda Lane—Deputy Chief Driving Examiner and Head of Driver Testing and Training Policy at the DVSA—to share a fascinating look at the driving test from the examiner’s perspective.

We chat about:

• Why nerves are so common before the driving test (and what examiners do to help)
• The importance of mock tests and getting truly ready for independence behind the wheel
• How remembering that examiners are human can transform your test-day mindset

While listening to this episode, ask yourself:

• Do you feel ready—both confident and competent—to drive independently?
• What are your expectations around test day, and how might you change your perspective?
• How can practising and mock testing help you manage your nerves and prepare for real-world driving?
