Carin was a great communicator, and extremely knowledgeable about local driving routes and what to do to not just pass the practical test but how to be a better driver.
I started my lessons having just taken 8 years not driving and they got me through to pass in just a few months - and even gave tips to get an early test date!

Roger was the best driving instructor anyone could’ve asked for! He has always helped me with things that i just couldn’t quite seem to get the hang of no matter how many times he explained it he would go over it with me again in a different way and made sure i was confident with it. He was always calm, kind and hillarious! and made you feel relaxed in the car. i came to roger when i had never been behind the wheel of a car before and under a year later i have just passed my test! i couldn’t recommend roger more. He is 100% in the right job and i couldn’t have wished for anyone to make my experience better. Thank you so much.

Carin is honestly fantastic. I passed with 0 faults thanks to her! She is so meticulous and can spot every minor mistake you’re making, to help you reach an amazing standard. I had instructors from different driving schools before her & failed, so to then pass with 0 errors shows how great she is. Thank you!

I can honestly say the Roger has done an amazing job. Not only putting our daughter at ease but boosting her confidence. From start to finish a great driving journey and enabling her to pass with no faults is a real credit will definitely recommend

A fantastic Pt3/SC training day held by Lynne. A wealth of invaluable knowledge which the whole driving school benefited from. Would highly recommend, plenty of emails over the past 6 months to organise the day and always quick to reply. I couldn't have wished anyone better to deliver the training.

I passed my test yesterday on my second attempt 😁 (although very close on my first). Prior to Rogers lessons, I had lessons with other instructors but I found there were still things I was unsure about and meant I was very hesitant in my driving but Roger really worked hard to unpick things I did not understand. First he discussed theory and drew pictures to fully explain, if needed he would change the focus of the lessons to make sure we tackled any mistakes to make me feel more confident. Roger's calm and supportive nature meant I immediately felt at ease from the first lesson. He knew that when I was nervous this effected my driving and we got on really well so we chatted to help me relax into the drive. There was no such thing as a stupid question during the lesson and even if I had been told before Roger happily went over things again until it now feels like second nature ☺️ I didn't have a huge desire to drive like some people do but Roger made the lessons challenging enough and was clear about what he wanted me to achieve so I was excited for my lessons. Now I'm on the roads and loving the freedom I have I can't thank you enough Roger 😁

Roger is a friendly instructor who helped me pass my driving test in Bolton. He made me feel confident and explained everything very clearly. I would recommend him to future learners.

Carin is hands down the easiest person to get along with and feel comfortable around which is super important. She’s a really good supporter and is very very helpful with all my worries. Thank you for getting me to pass first time!!

Thank you Carin! I’m so grateful for making the lessons relaxed, interesting and fun to learn! Passed with 0 faults and I can put that down to the positivity and confidence Carin gave me !

I’m grateful for the support I received from my instructor Carin Bowman. I passed my test at the first attempt. Thanks Carin for your encouragement and for making my learning process interesting and stress free.

Roger Bowden was the best driving instructor I could’ve found for my son, they got on great & my son was a first time pass thanks to Roger’s excellent supervision and teaching. I can’t recommend him enough.
Thanks so much.

Best driving instructor I could’ve asked for!

Reply from Lifetime Driving Standards
Ruth was the perfect instructor. Couldn’t have asked for anything more. The lessons were clear, fun and progressive. She made me feel extremely confident when going into my practical exam which made it so much easier!
Thank you for everything!

Reply from Lifetime Driving Standards
Roger was amazing! He made me feel so comfortable and safe. He took me at my own pace and gave me the right guidance I needed to feel confident. He is lovely and secured me a first time pass! If you are looking for an instructor that will not only make you an independent and good knowledged driver but will make the experience fun and memorable, then pick Roger and Lifetime driving. You won’t regret it!
