Getting a driving licence is a small victory that opens up a lot of freedom. Behind it are driving school lessons, hours of practice, exam nerves and finally a plastic card with your own photo. So a new driver deserves congratulations: with humour, warmth and, of course, wishes for safe roads. Below you will find short congratulations on passing a driving test, wishes for a girlfriend, boyfriend, daughter or son, funny messages, poems and gift ideas.

Poems for a new driver

Your brand-new licence is in hand,
The open road is yours to roam!
May every journey go as planned
And every trip lead safely home.

Congratulations, driver new!
May the wheel turn smooth and true,
May the lights stay green for you
And every road bring something new.

Gift ideas for a new driver

A new driver will appreciate practical things: a document holder, a phone mount, a first-aid kit, a car air freshener or a boot organiser. To make it memorable, add flowers: a bright bouquet of peony roses for a girlfriend, or delicate pink roses for a mum or sister. You can even hand over the bouquet right outside the test centre.
