Very friendly people. Did my A2 with them and it was a very smooth process. Lee was brilliant. Overall, a very good experience.

I passed my driving test first time today thanks to Lee, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. He is incredibly kind, patient, and supportive, and always believed in me even when I doubted myself. His teaching style is clear, structured, and really builds your confidence step by step. He creates such a calm and comfortable environment, which made a huge difference to my learning. Every lesson felt productive and enjoyable, and I felt fully prepared going into my test. I would highly recommend Lee to anyone he’s truly one of the best instructors out there. Thank you so much for everything 🥰

Ross was the best instructor. I couldn’t have asked for better. He put so much effort into me passing and made sure I did and I’m so grateful that he did that.🙂

Lee was a great instructor, he worked around my busy schedule, and he pushed me out of my comfort zone enough so that I would learn, but not so much that I would lose confidence in what I was doing. Lee always made me feel comfortable and listened to me about anything I was unsure about to find a way to correct it. I was a nervous driver, but now I have been on the road for 7 months, and I absolutely love driving. I couldn’t have done it without Lee!!
Rosie in the office was very helpful and always had quick replies! I really recommend Smart driving!!

I have just completed my CBT training on 13th Feb.
From my first contact via email and chatting to both Rosie and Lee at the site was excellent. Explanations in detail of what to expect and required was spot on. I had a brilliant time on the day of training and cannot thank Ross enough for his time, patients, professionalism, sense of humour and making it real fun. Bearing in mind I have not rode a motorbike for 40 years I was a bit tentative, but the confidence Ross had and was able to install in myself ensured I was able to get everything and more that I was looking for out of the course.
I look forward to returning and carrying onto my full motorbike training and exam in the future.

I was able to do 3 blocks of 10 hours with Ross and passed first time with only two faults, Ross is an amazing teacher and his coworkers are wonderful. Ross helped me gain confidence in trying a manual car and we had many awesome Starbucks. Trips I would highly recommend having driving lessons from their team as they are all kind and wonderful people. Ross had also done my CBT before (including Starbucks and ice cream stop) and I hope to do my A2 license with him next year if not I trust his co-workers will treat me the same as the ones I have met are lovely.

Andre was an amazing instructor. He was always patient and understanding, never harsh. He helped build my confidence with driving and was always open to questions and assistance with anything. I would recommend Andre as a driving instructor without a doubt.

André was my instructor and he was just amazing ! So thorough and the best teacher.

Andre was a fab instructor, super funny and kind. I never had an issue or a hard time with anything! He explained everything perfectly and I always felt comfortable to ask questions. I would definitely recommend him to anyone! 🩷

I had such an amazing experience learning to drive here. My instructor was Andre and he was an incredible teacher. With his coaching i was able to overcome things i was really struggling with and managed to pass both my theory and practical test first time. I would highly recommend learning to drive here as my instructor was so friendly and made me feel relaxed when learning some things i thought were really scary. 💗💗

Great day with Ross who is very knowledgeable and helpful:) Also great fun and laughter:) I had my cbt done with Ross and my wife done it few weeks ago as well, with Ross also :)
Whole process was nice and smooth thanks to Rosie who was very helpful sending all the info over needed to get everything prepared and be ready on a training day :)
Can highly recommend ride smart! Great people and time well spent!
Thank you 👍

Thanks for getting me through me CBT course yesterday Ross. That was my first time been on a motorbike! And now I'm looking forward to achieve my full license.
What a great riding school & great instructor!
I would definitely recommend this school to everyone!

From the start I was just looking into getting my class A motorbike license and after speaking to Rosie she made this easy and explained everything.
I was contacted back within a great time and before I knew it I was on my CBT.
I started my CBT in April 2025 and had passed my class A license by 29 may 2025. Martin was a great teacher who made me feel confident in riding and was more like a friend than someone who was just teaching me.
When I passed we kept in touch so even the after care was amazing.
Overall from start to finish I rate 10/10.
I am now the owner of a 650cc sports bike and I owe smart ride a massive thank you for everything they have done.
Thanks guys xx

Ride smart extremely well run and professional courses.
thoroughly enjoyed the whole process from beginner to confident rider
Martin was a genuine nice guy and a brilliant trainer throughout my journey
100% recommend this company and can’t thank them enough for their support and encouragement

Ross,what a superstar!
My partner and I booked together for CBT and what a great day.
Ross made sure we were properly informed and safe before we went out on our ride.
He was patient and very knowledgeable
Would Definitely Recomend Ross for a complete novice or someone on a refresher, he treated us with respect and made the day fun.
Just home with our Certificates 😀📃

Andre was a fantastic instructor, very informative, great communication and my nervous daughter felt comfortable after her first lesson, which is half the battle. And she passed first time. Thanks for a fantastic service and will use again when my son turns 17 .

I booked my CBT Renewal very last minute and was provided a 1-2-1 course just 2 days later with Ross. The content on the course was levels above what I had previously elsewhere. On top of this Ross made sure that although we covered everything we needed to it felt more like I was just out riding for a day with a mate. Really recommend Ross as a trainer :)

I recently booked my son for his cbt with Ross and Lee and found them to be the most amazing and helpful people. They only care about their students and not the money, they are very professional and only want the best for the students. I highly recommend this company and it shines way above the rest. I would like to say a massive thank you to Ross and Lee for taking such great care of my son on his big day.
Kind regards carlos

I recently passed my driving test with only 3 minors thanks to Andre! Every lesson that I had was great and he was very patient with me. Andre had confidence in me which made me more confident in myself. Couldn’t ask for a better instructor.
I would definitely recommend the school and Andre if you’re wanting to pass your driving test!

Missus and I, complete novices haven't even ridden a pushbike before, took the test with Lee. Couldn't recommend Lee more, he's patient, has a calm demeanour and gives great tips and advice. He somehow managed to build our skills and confidence up in a short space of time. The whole experience was amazing and we actually managed to have some fun! Keep up the good work!
