Driving Schools in General Reviews

Choosing a good driving school to take your lessons from can be difficult as if you choose a big driving school, the lessons can be quite expensive, and if you choose a smaller one, you can sometimes have trouble, then have to sort it out with the instructor themself, rather than through the driving school. As I find driving quite ...  Read the complete review

Learning to drive is something that I took to quite late - at 25 years old I wasn't your average customer, and I was old enough and mature enough to know that BSM wasn't necessarily the best option for driving lessons. No matter how easy it becomes, learning to drive is incredibly difficult, and can easily be some of the most stressful, ...  Read the complete review

Driving is the most scariest thing i feel most people will try, so it is important you have a qualified driving instructor from a reputable driving school to keep you calm and collected who will show you through the ropes and teach you every tip and trick you need to know to pass your test. I passed my test nearly 4 years ago now and ...  Read the complete review

Learning to drive is such a daunting experience so it's extra important to find the right instructor for your personality. I'm a pretty calm person most of the time but put me behind a wheel of a car and I become highly strung and downright abusive so I needed someone who was calm and didn't say alot during my lessons. Fortunately my friend had a ...  Read the complete review

I took lessons with Stan who owns Roadcraft in Isleworth. I used to cry and shake every time I sat behind the wheel of a car. It made me feel sick. I was petrified of driving (i.e. crashing, killing someone, killing myself, being shouted at, stalling, hill starts, changing gears, the clutch, you name it I was scared of it). He is ...  Read the complete review

Some instructors are absoloutely bloomin brilliant and some are totally rubbish. I often feel sorry for the learners I see at my local stadium sometimes, as this is a hot spot for instructors wishing to practise "Bay Parking" with their students. You often see grumpy old male instructors wasting time having a cigarette whilst their pupil ...  Read the complete review

I had driving lessons from a company called chandni school of motoring, they operate in north west london. I found they taught me well as they were proffesional unlike other companies i had heard of. Apparently they have one of the highest pass rates and experiance within that area. I passed first time within 4months of having lessons. I would reccomend them.

I had lessons with orange ADI driving school in tamworth and i think he is the best instructor for this area. i learned a lot quicker as he explained why i had to do things rather than just being told what to do. Now i knew why i had to do things, i could understand it more which aided my learning and knowledge of driving. I had other ...  Read the complete review

I would reconmend ...  Read the complete review

I have wanted to learn to drive for as long as I can remember so you can imagine how delighted I was when my parents bought me 10 driving lessons for my 17th Birthday last May. I had also been saving up my pay's from work to pay for driving lessons and a car. So here I was on my journey of learning to drive… ~ Looking For an Instructor ...  Read the complete review

Having found a top grade instructor locally i thought id been lucky, £440 later, 22 hours and im no where near test standard and having to search ...  Read the complete review

I was a very nervous driver who had been searching for a very long time for a driving school who could make me feel calm and relax. By chance while googling I found a New Concept Driving school that provides a holistic and relaxing approach to driving, which includes in car aromatherapy, meditation, flower essences and stress management ...  Read the complete review

Driving lessons are one of the best investments you'll ever make in your life. If for instance, a 17 year old spends £500 on lessons and passes the driving test first go, they have a minimum of 53 years driving ahead of them without a retest (under current legislation... this might well change in the future), less than a tenner a year..not ...  Read the complete review

~ ~ Many moons ago I went through (and passed) the Institute of Advanced Motorists test in the UK. This was back in the 1970’s, and I did so simply because I was requested to do so by the company I was then working for as a salesman. I got a nice A4 Certificate, which I duly relegated to the back of a drawer and subsequently lost, and a wee ...  Read the complete review

I never imagined finding the right driving school would be so hard. I remember my first driving school was with a instructor who made me nervouse all the time whilst I was in the car and even up to this day 1 year ago, I still feel nervouse everytime I get into the car. All he would do is shout at me and expect me to learn everything straight ...  Read the complete review

I was glad when my form teacher told us that we would be doing work experience as it meant getting out of school work for a whole week, thank god I thought. The work experience took place at the start of June, I was doing all sorts of things and a enjoyed it all as it gives me the idea of work that I would like to be involved in when I ...  Read the complete review
