WHEN it comes to passing your driving test there are many unusual tips and lucky charms, but one driving school has topped them all.
Top Gear Driving School has teamed up with the famous Roy's Ices in Bardsea to offer learners free ice-creams to keep them on the road to success.
Drivers who pull off a manoeuvre for the first time or overcome nerves to successfully parallel park in a tight spot during a lesson will win free treats and lollies at the popular ice-cream van.
Learners with the school, which has been providing driving lessons across Barrow and Ulverston since 1992, will be handed reward tokens from instructors, which they can then redeem at Roy's Ices.
Katrina Johnson, owner of Top Gear Driving School, hopes the incentive will steer learners towards ultimately passing their test and help them enjoy lessons.
She said: "The learners love it. It's not about who's the best driver - it's about picking up on individuals who may have got less confidence.
"We want a full, positive experience. It's to encourage self-esteem and a feelgood factor for them."
