driveJohnson’s Hall of Fame

Instructor Ravi Lodhiya says:

A powerful result and an even stronger journey behind it.

Mrs Beata Singh passed her driving test with just 3 minor faults — but the real story is not the score. It’s the resilience behind it.

She came back after a previous test failure with shaken confidence and real self-doubt. Like many learners, she started to believe the wrong story about herself — that she “wasn’t a good driver.” From May 2025 onward, we focused on rebuilding skill, discipline, and belief step by step. No shortcuts. No false praise. Just structured coaching, honest feedback, and consistent practice.

Progress was not instant — it was earned.

Lesson by lesson, her control improved. Decision-making sharpened. Nerves reduced. Most importantly, her confidence became evidence-based, not emotion-based. By test day, she wasn’t hoping to pass — she was prepared to pass.

This is what proper driver training looks like:

Clear standards

Calm pressure handling

Correct habits from the start

Confidence built through competence


Passing a test is the outcome. Becoming a safe, capable driver for life is the objective.

If you’ve failed before or doubt yourself right now — that is not your final result. With the right coaching and commitment, performance changes.

Ravi Lodhiya — Building safe drivers, not just test passes.
