Local Driving School

Fantastic experience: Andrew is one of the best driving instructors out there and so is his wife Bernadette.They are both extremely experienced instructors who Know exactly what they’re doing. They aren’t like the other instructors out there who will give you false information on the road rules and how to drive. They aren’t like the cheap instructors who will try and make you do a reverse parallel park on your first lesson, they will take it easy and slowly teach you their driving skills/experience. In only a few lessons, you will become a driving MASTER!! Thank you Andrew for helping me get my driver’s license 1st try!

Fantastic experience: I used Local Driving School to obtain my manual license. Good value in comparison to other schools. Use of drills/anagrams where very useful which other schools I had used did not make use of. Very understand of anxieties and put in the extra effort during COVID restrictions to sanitise and ensure the car is safe to drive. The Local Driving is also teaching my siblings who are currently having a positive experience.

Fantastic experience: Over the past year I have had manual driving lessons with Bernadette, and I could not have asked for a better instructor. She was kind and patient with me throughout the whole process and helped me build my confidence, turning me into a safe, responsible but most of all confident driver. The lessons were individualised and paced to suit my learning speed, while making sure I understood everything I would need to know once driving independently. I could not have asked for a better instructor and cannot recommend Local Driving School enough.

Fantastic experience: We can''t recommend Local Driving School enough!
