Drive with Stacey: A successful wrap-up!

Loading player...
Laurel Timber and Juwairiyyah Sheikh who were the successful winners of Drive with Stacey, have got the licences!
About finally getting her licence, Juwairiyyah said:  ” I must admit, when my lessons firstly started, yeah, it was very scary. I was extremely nervous, but as my lessons progressed, I got more confident.”
Speaking about why she took the leap of faith and decided to do her licence, Laurel said: “ It was this position that I would like to apply for at work, but I do need a driver's license.”
Juwairiyyah and Laurel worked hard with Omar and Leslie from Omar’s Driving School to ensure they were ready and prepared to do their licences.
Stacey along with these determined and empowered women are now ready to take hit the roads, licence in hand!
We’ve been part of their journey from hearing their stories of why they never managed to get their licences to being with them as they succeeded.
