The instructor will do little to none maneuvers and a lot of driving the same roads to stretch out how many lessons you need

Fantastic driving school! Passed my test first time with their instructor Mark. Always reliable and do everything they can to make you feel at ease. Couldn't recommend a better driving school.

I plea with you, please avoid this company, and in particular an instructor named Kirk. You pay for 2 hours with him and he will turn up 15 minutes late and take you home 15 minutes early. He helps himself to breaks, during the 2 hours you're paying him. He sits on his phone during the lesson. He doesn't care for your welfare or what you've learnt.

Even the car he drives is clapped out! Having never had an instructor before I didn't know what he was doing was so wrong until I started with another instructor and thank goodness I did, I wasted enough money on him, I'm glad I saw sense when I did and found another instructor.

Highly recommend Mark, not only has he helped me learn to drive but has helped me over come my fears. From going from being too scared to sit Infront of a stearing wheel in the car due to past reasons to being able to drive with confidence. When I first started I was afraid to even move the car an inch and with help from mark a lot of patience and breakdowns and tears I have overcome all of my fears.

He has been a humongous help and very patient! So happy I had him as a teacher and so thankful for all the time and effort he put into me even when I didn't believe in myself and wanted to give up!
THANK YOU MARK!!!

If anyone is in doubt were to go, ask Bill and he will be able to help beyond the ordinary. He takes pride in what is doing and it is not everyone's approach, trust me. My life has changed thanks to you Bill and I will be forever so grateful. God Bless you and your family. I now can take good care of my own thanks to you. I wish you many many more successes in your work. I am the miracle case. Friend forever Hanna

I loved learning to drive with top gear Steve was a brilliant driving instructor and he was always patient and and making me feel i was safe while driving. I wouldnt have been able to pass my practical test first time without his help. I will also be doing my pass plus with top gear as i feel they have helped me so much and i trust the school to carry on helping me with driving. Caroline.
