Just when we thought this was an unbeatable feat, Rupert managed it as well &#8211; as rare as a &#8216;147&#8217; break or 6 &#8216;sixes&#8217; in an over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rupert was delighted &#8211; &#8221;\u00a0very chuffed for sure! I must give praise to Mike as well, he was a fantastic instructor throughout.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His examiner was very impressed, saying &#8220;Rupert is a relatively new driver of about 7 years. However, he does drive about 25,000 miles a year for work, and this experience of heavy mileage has meant that he has gained valuable experience over a short space of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This clearly showed in the drive over the prescribed route, with the addition of having a good natural ability coupled with very good hand to eye co-ordination.   His overall drive and ability was of a very high standard.   Overall a well deserved &#8216;FIRST&#8217;.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> Many congratulations to Rupert from all at GAM, and a Happy Christmas to everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rupert Rogers had a great day last Sunday when he achieved a F1rst award on his advanced test and managed to score &#8216;1&#8217; in every one of the 23 marked categories.
