He is very informative and never makes you feel silly if you make a mistake. It was a pleasure learning to drive with Dave and would highly recommend anyone else who wants a friendly and joyful experience.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can not recommend Dave highly enough for anyone who is looking to start automatic lessons. The Kona is a beautiful car to drive and it's easy to feel comfortable in. I really enjoyed learning with Dave and was able to pass first time with zero faults. Don't waste time, get booked in with Dave!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Taught me how to drive very well and made me comfortable to ask questions no matter what they were. He was never shouting or moaning he kept calm when things went wrong and didn’t make you feel stupid for it. He helped me pass first time with 1 minor.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I passed my test first time last week and Dave was amazing. I used to struggle with driving so when my old instructor who had really helped me was unable to teach me in the months leading up to my exam I was initially nervous to try a new instructor, however I didn’t need to worry as our lessons were great, very chilled with music, and I made lots more improvement which got me really confident for my test. I would really recommend Dave to anyone looking for lessons.

Why Longer Automatic Lessons Offer Better Value

Most learners make faster and more confident progress with 90-minute or 2-hour automatic lessons.

Longer lessons allow time for:

Settling into the drive without pressure
Covering multiple topics in one session
Repeating manoeuvres properly
Driving in a wider range of road conditions

This is why longer lessons are priced more competitively per hour.
