Not sure where to start with .

“Meeting Ari was a turning point in my life. Without his guidance and unwavering belief in me, I couldn’t have achieved what I have today. Ari’s positive feedback and wealth of knowledge were invaluable in helping me change my job and believe in myself.

Test tip of the month for Barnet

When you come out of the Barnet test centre be aware of many parked cars on the road, that may be blocking your view on the T-Junctions. As you emerge out of the first few T-Junctions be sure to forward lean if cars are blocking your view and control the car slowly with the clutch and brake. Keep your heading looking both ways regularly, as if you are watching a tennis match.
