What clients have said...

Mr G McWhinnie

I just wanted to say thank you for all the hard work you put in for me. I know it was short notice for you and it was a little intense but I thought everything went well and you are a great teacher. You definitely made the stress of needing to pass first time a whole load easier and for that I am truly grateful. It has made everything a whole load easier as I can now get the job that I wanted. Thank you once again for doing such a brilliant job.

Mrs L Crombie

Just wanted to drop you a quick note to say thank you for all your excellent teaching skills and positive attitude towards getting all 3 of the Crombie brood through their driving tests.


Choosing a driving instructor

As with any industry, there are individuals who are good at their job, and individuals who are not so good at their job.
Unfortunately there are also some driving schools who will happily take you for a ride (no pun intended).
It is all too easy for driving schools to make big promises, like guarantees of a first time pass, or telling you that someone passes with them every few seconds, but the truth is statistics are very easy to fake.

Some instructors, no matter how well qualified they are, no matter how many badges they display in the car, no matter how many advanced driving tests they have passed, will still teach you how to fail the practical driving test.

The best way to find a good instructor is to talk to people you know who passed first time, not people who are still learning.

Always beware of instructors who tell you how to "fool the driving examiner"... avoid any driving instructor who tells you any of the following:

* Make it obvious you are checking your mirrors by moving your head every time.
* Make sure you exaggerate your blind spot checks by straining your neck into an uncomfortable position for a long time before you drive off.
* Always slow down when you approach crossings, even when there is nobody there, so the examiner knows you've seen them.
* While doing reversing exercises, make sure you stop if you see any other traffic or pedestrians, no matter how far away they are from you.

You need a driving school who teaches you how to drive correctly and safely, not someone who believes you can fool a driving examiner into thinking you can drive, when you clearly cannot.
