Onroad Driving Education

Fantastic experience: I have passed the test in my first try thanks to the several instructors i’ve been with; Tony, Chris, and especially SIMON. My sessions with you have been fun and professional, and your teachings are understandable and efficient. I highly recommend SIMON for those who are interested in learning to drive safely and pass the test in first take.

Negative experience: My recent experience with Onroad Driving Education was extremely poor. While my instructor, Chris, taught in an engaging manner, utilising a variety of easy to remember rhymes and acronyms, I would not recommend him to nervous drivers, as he took away my driving confidence as an already anxious driver. I booked a lesson with him a few days prior to my driving test, to use the remaining hours of a 10-hour pack I booked when I first started to drive. I had been having lessons with another excellent driving instructor from a different company during my driving journey, as I thought he suited me better, specifically as he made me feel much more supported and comfortable. During the 2-hour driving lesson I had with Chris prior to my driving test, he told me bluntly that I was not at all ready for the driving test and would fail, that I should cancel it and that I was taught a variety of techniques incorrectly by my other driving instructor, among many other criticisms. Rather than helping me fix it and building my confidence, he would continually criticise me and encouraged me that the only way was to book a lot more lessons with him. While I do understand that this was his professional opinion, the way he delivered this criticism dramatically increased my driving anxiety both during the driving lesson and before the test and made the driving lesson an unpleasant experience, where I instead left much less confident. After much conviction from my other driving instructor that had enthusiastically supported me throughout my driving journey and who thought I was extremely capable and ready for the test, I passed with 100%, a few days after my driving experience with Chris. While I still have a few hours left of the 10 – pack we bought, I refuse to go back for any more lessons. I wrote this in the hope that no other anxious drivers would feel let down and even more nervous after driving with this company.

Fantastic experience: Reg is an amazing driving instructor!! Definitely recommend him

Fantastic experience: I’ve recently started practicing with on roads and I’am genuinely so happy to be apart of such an amazing program. From the scheduling of appointments and flexibility. My instructor Sandy is an exceptional teacher, that is patient kind and understanding. Overall he has shown me many ways to be safer on the roads than I would’ve have before practicing with him .

Negative experience: If you block other peoples driveways while waiting for your students to start their driving lesson, NO respect or consideration and swear at them WHAT ROAD RULES ARE YOU TEACHING YOUR STUDENTS. YOU ARE MEANT TO BE A ROLE MODEL.
