Denise's Driving School

Denise Ingram

Her first driving test was back in the 1970s, and since then she's tried 12 times and failed.

Denise Ingram from Somerset had all but given up learning to drive. She's travelled around the UK and taken her test in different cities, tried almost every Driving School and spent a fortune on intensive courses - but still, no pass.

Ed, Troy and Paulina have committed to Denise that they will put her through a driving test every week until she passes, with the help of the RED Driving School. 

Her husband, Des, is in despair - he drives Denise everywhere. Her Manager says it's affecting her work prospects and close friends and family are at the end of their tether, sick of driving her around. 

  • Listen to Heart Breakfast with Ed, Troy and Paulina every weekday to hear how Denise is getting on. 

Theory Test Drama

It's been so long since Denise passed her Theory Driving Test, it emerged her test had lapsed. Denise confidently re-took her test but FAILED!   

Listen to Ed, Troy and Paulina putting Denise through her Theory Test Paces.
