Kate Baker, Stourbridge

"I found the day very enjoyable and helpful.  I feel more confidence to be able to deal with the driving in Egypt, which was the point of doing the course.  So mission accomplished.  Roly was very relaxed but supportive, which I found perfect in helping me to understand and to carry out the changed to my style of driving.  Thank you.”

Just need to practise.  It was also a really nice day.  We went on a huge route along some interesting roads and Mr. Scott knows all the best tea shops in the area, as I have my mother in law staying with me over Christmas, this information is priceless."

James Russell – Ware, Hertfordshire – Vauxhall Corsa

"I found the session both informative and helpful.  I was surprised to spend most of the time on country roads, but I understand why.  Perhaps there should have been some more work on town driving and hazard perception within towns.  I thoroughly enjoyed my session and also found it informative and helpful."

William Pillow – Bexhill-on-Sea, East Sussex, BMW 3-Series

"I found the whole session very useful and extremely informative from the initial assessment of my driving and constructive feedback on my technique to the subsequent drive where new driving techniques were introduced and practised. Plenty of information given, and a lot of unhurried time to practise the various techniques.  The trainer was excellent and the session more than let with my expectations.  I am looking forward to practising the things I learned and incorporating them into my driving and booking a follow-up session I a few months time to try to develop my skills further."

Eddy Holliman – Toddington, Bedfordshire – Renault Laguna

“My job is that of a fire officer at a busy international airport.  My requirement was to refresh my advanced driving skills, which I felt were decaying and I was looking for a well-ordered structure in the training.

Ian tailored the session exactly to my needs and it was obvious that right from the start he had a wealth of experience teaching people to a very high standard and did not miss anything!!  It was a privilege to have been teamed up with such an experienced instructor.  It is my intention to repeat this now on an annual basis.”
