Testimonials
"After previously failing my test with another driving school my confidence was low but Jim got my confidence back and made my knowledge and technique better. All my lessons were relaxed and enjoyable and I went on to pass my driving test comfortably. I have and will continue recommend Jim to anyone."

"Tim was a fantastic driving instructor, right from the start of me learning to drive I felt confident in the car with Tim and I was allowed to control the car myself without any unnecessary intervention from him. This allowed me to learn and progress very quickly, having just 25 hours teaching before passing my test first time. I even text Tim now, more than a year on, if i have any driving related questions I might need answered and he always responds. I would recommend Tim to anyone who wants to learn to drive and I regularly do, recommending him to friends, collegues and anyone who mentions learning to drive!"

"Learning to drive with Tim was a really positive experience. I was quite a nervous student and he made me feel at ease straight away. His calm approach and light hearted nature gave me the encouragement I needed to drive with control and confidence. I think it is important that you feel comfortable with an instructor who enables you to drive safely but also challenges you to do your very best."

"Tim from SmartDrive taught me to drive over 7 months in 2011. He was very patient with me and every lesson I felt like I learned something new and knew how to improve the next time. I passed first time and also had a motorway lesson with Tim which was invaluable. I would highly recommend Tim and SmartDrive."

"Choosing SmartDrive to teach me to drive was a brilliant choice. I had lessons previously with a different driving school but they didn't compare at all to SmartDrive. Jim's lessons were excellent! Well-structured, very good fun but most of all you left each one feeling like you were one step closer to passing your test and being a driver. I don't feel like one lesson or more importantly one penny was wasted on any of my lessons! Most important of all, when I passed my test I knew that I was ready to drive on my own. I wasn't just taught to pass my test by Jim but also to be a good and safe driver! I would (and will) recommend him and SmartDrive to anybody that is looking to learn to drive."

"Learning to drive with Jim was a very enjoyable experience and one i can recommend. Like many others, I was initially daunted but Jim was very positive throughout and I gained confidence after every lesson. Sometimes too much but Jim soon refocused me if I got a little ahead of myself. I passed first time and I have Jim to thank for that. I now consider myself to be a good and more importantly, safe driver."
