The UK’s first learner driver to complete the practical driving test in an electric vehicle has passed first time, driving a Vauxhall Ampera. Navdeep Singh, 18, from Hull, successfully drove the cutting edge extended-range electric vehicle and passed the test with flying colours. He learned to drive the award-winning Ampera with RED Driving School, where pupils benefit from the school’s longstanding relationship with Vauxhall.
“We’re thrilled to have taught the country’s first learner driver to pass the practical driving test in an electric vehicle,” said Ian McIntosh, CEO of RED Driving School. “We think it’s important to get young people to experience the latest vehicle technologies. The Ampera is a leading edge car and reflects the dynamic nature of RED Driving School. As well as being easy to drive, the Ampera offers great efficiency and good all round performance.”
Well done to Navdeep Singh for passing and to RED for taking the initiative in bringing new technology forward. How do you think you’d enjoy taking lessons or your test in an electric vehicle?
