Rob is a legend! I was so nervous about learning to drive but he was calm, patient, and reassuring, putting me at ease right from the start. I’ll miss our weekly lessons and would highly recommend him... See more

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Thank you!

Rob is an outstanding instructor who is extremely knowledgeable and professional in this field. I have previously had poor experience from a different driving school, so meeting Rob was a blessing. From the very first lesson I was able to navigate and drive around roads learning at my own pace in a very relaxed environment. I have always felt easy behind the wheel and gained so much confidence during my time with Rob. Every question was answered in a way that was easy to understand and I felt zero pressure when being taught things. I felt comfortable learning and have amazingly passed first time which I am absolutely thrilled about although I will miss having my weekly drive with a great teacher and person. Thanks so much! Absolutely reccomend

A pleasure to learn with

I went from being very anxious about getting behind the wheel to being a calm and confident driver in a matter of months with Rob. He was always incredibly patient, and never made me feel embarrassed or upset over mistakes. He was full of helpful knowledge and advice for safe driving too. He has made me enjoy driving and I would wholly recommend him to any nervous learners - thank you Rob!

The automatic driving school

I had an excellent experience learning with Rob from The Automatic Driving School. I took just 10 hours of lessons and 4 mock tests, and thanks to his clear teaching style and patient guidance, I passed my UK automatic driving test on the very first attempt.

Rob explained everything in a simple, structured way and always made sure I understood not just how to do things, but why. The mock tests were especially useful in building my confidence and preparing me for the real exam.

I would highly recommend Rob and The Automatic Driving School to anyone looking for a professional, supportive, and effective driving instructor.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

5 stars are not enough

1st thing you want from a driving instructor is for them to call you back when you enquire and Rob did this! He was honest about the wait and he called when he had space come available. No one else bothered and I have called a lot of schools. Rob is calm and very laid back given how expensive cars are and is good at explaining where you have gone wrong if you do. Don’t worry, he has a break peddle for when you get the accelerator and break mixed up.
I will miss driving around on a Saturday morning putting the world to rights. You wont regret choosing Rob to get you through your test!
