Jesse's
Story
Learning to drive with Drive with Emma
Jesse has cerebral palsy and before starting his lessons he had a driving assessment at Cornwall Mobility. They advised that he couldn't operate a car as standard and recommended that Jesse drove with his left foot instead.
Jesse was a very committed learner and always wanted to ensure he understood each skill. He gradually became more confident and capable, progressing onto busier and bigger roads. By the end of his training Jesse was driving independently on all different types of roads, including the motorway. Emma was confident that Jesse was ready for his driving test in September 2022 which he passed in Newton Abbot on the first attempt with only 3 driving faults.
He now has codes on his driving licence which restrict him to driving automatic vehicles with a left foot accelerator, but Jesse doesn't mind as it gives him much longed for freedom in his Motability car.
