I'm an upbeat Nottingham driving instructor (automatic) teaching pupils with special needs and learning difficulties. Also a foilist. 🤺 🙂

Based on a suggestion from an autistic student who was unable to start driving lessons due to the lockdown I've made a short video for my website which introduces myself, my SEN driving school and my tuition car. 😀

Motorway adventure drives and doughnut based rest breaks. 🍩🙂

One of the joys of a wilder garden is the visitors. 🐸 🙂

Checking in with the Surf ⚡ for a fun packed day of theory tests and automatic driving lessons. 🙂

Theo and Perci on a sunny walk. ☀️ Love all the wild flowers. 🙂

During the driving course we embark on a series of challenging adventure drives. I've just been expanding the 'delivery driver' scenario which now includes more diversity including a garage visit (simulated ABS fault), dropping off wetsuits, sausage rolls and a fridge. 🙂🚗

@MI5GCJ Absolutely loved ours, after 6 years we switched to the Ioniq 5 but the Ioniq 28kWh was super special. 🙂⚡

@Veritatem2021 @GarethDeanPR Totally, I do presentations on transitioning to EV. For ~60% of us who can have home charging EV is currently easier than combustion, my advice to others (if not keen) is wait until the tech matches the traditional fuel experience (300+ mile range with 10 minute recharges). 🙂

[Rob Cooling ADI @ads_robcooling]

@Veritatem2021 @GarethDeanPR 95% is home charging, so I've got ∼300 miles each day. On big, big journeys I'll normally stop after 200 miles for loo / food / rest and the car just charges while you're at the service station. It's ok if it's not for everyone, but I'm very happy. 🙂

[Rob Cooling ADI @ads_robcooling]

@GarethDeanPR @Veritatem2021 Agreed, I've done 300,000+ electric miles since switching to EVs in 2017. 🙂 If anything it's been easier than combustion, I don't miss having to visit a petrol station twice a week.
