I had the best experience….

I had the best experience learning to drive with Dan. I was extremely anxious and scared to start driving but i really wanted to. After having a previous instructor who didn’t realise the extent of my anxiety, i found Dan. From the minute i got into Dans car i felt at ease. He did everything he could to make me feel confident behind the wheel and I went on to pass my test 1st time.

Since passing with Dan i am now a confident driver and have driven pretty much anywhere with confidence. I can’t recommend Dan enough to anyone who is wanting to learn to drive. Thank you Dan for everything

Learned to drive with dan

Learned to drive with dan, he was a great instructor and was very patient and helpful, educating me about not only how to pass the driving test but the roads itself, helped me gain confidence on driving in narrow country roads & motorways (to the point i drove to somewhere completely new on the motorway a week after passing my test!)
was completely at ease and any questions or concerns I had i felt comfortable enough to ask without hesitation
thank you dan !

Excellent

I used Better Driver Training for some refresher lessons last year. I couldn't have wished for a more patient instructor than Dan. He ensured the lessons were tailored around my skills gaps and really helped to build my confidence. I'm now really enjoying being out on the road. Big thanks to Dan and Better Driving. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

I couldn’t of asked for a better driving instructor. Rob went above and beyond to help me learn how to drive, how to be safe on the roads and he made me confident in my self on the day of my test. He is all around a lovely guy to talk to. Passed first time around but would definitely recommend rob to any new driver.

5 star experience with Michelle

Michelle is a fantastic driving instructor, from my very first lesson, her calm and patient nature made me feel at complete ease behind the wheel. She has a brilliant way of explaining things clearly and getting the point across without ever making you feel overwhelmed.

Shes highly flexible and adaptable when it comes to lessons, on top of that, Michelle has a great sense of humour which makes lessons highly enjoyable, and helps create a relaxed, safe learning environment.

Thanks to Michelle, i have turned into a confident driver with her continuous support and guidance, making quite the difference.

I couldn’t ask for a better instructor than Michelle herself!!

Great instructor

Mark Challis was calm, patient and explained things well. I always felt calm and confident with him and he was happy to re visit things I lacked confidence in. I would highly recommend him.

5 star Rob

Couldn’t ask for a better teacher when I was learning to drive than Rob. Always went above and beyond with his availability when I couldn’t always do the lessons we had planned, brought me on to be a confident safe driver and just an all round lovely guy to interact and learn with. Passed me first time with flying colours, highly recommend him!

Passed with Peter!

Found Peter's advice very good and I wasn't as nervous for my test as I had previously been with other instructors! Thank you Peter!

An excellent experience

Learning to drive was a fearful prospect for me. My instructor, Rob, totally eradicated such worry. An excellent teacher who takes your preferences and opinions on board as to create a tailor-fitted plan for lessons, Rob made what would have been a strenuous time a joyous one. It is critical in the midst of learning a new skill to have people who are caring as much as informed as guidance, Rob went above and beyond on that point. I would, and shall, recommend him to anyone looking for instruction. A bright spark providing exactly what you're looking for in an instructor, with competitive and fair rates.

5 star for a reason.
