An 82-year-old woman has passed her driving test on the first attempt, despite taking a break from lessons for a knee operation.
Josephine Sheeka, who lives near Colchester, decided to take up driving lessons because she wanted more independence.
And despite taking a break from lessons for surgery, the grandmother passed less than two years after first getting behind the wheel.
She’s a very nice lady, willing to learn, willing to try everything that I was coaching her to do and she’s done really well,
She just wanted to pass her test and did everything required of her.
She doesn’t look like an old lady. I just treated her like any other pupil I’ve taught to drive and she’s done really well.
