Optimus Drive School of Motoring

just passed my test with dave, what a legend. it did take me a few times to pass eventually, but the main thing which made me not give up was dave himself - he never gave up on me to keep me going ever. the amount of patience dave had with me was undescribable and i honestly couldn't have been more grateful. he always made sure I had lessons booked in and even slotted me on a saturday to make sure i had the lesson - he always did anything he could to make sure i never gave up. both him and stephanie was the best people to get my throughout this, and i couldn't have been more grateful to have been part of learning with these. i feel like i had honestly found the best instructors ever, and couldn't have wished for anyone better - i really am going to miss learning to drive. every lesson dave made sure that i was okay, and that i was safe to come out of the lesson feeling proud of myself and happy of what i've just completed in that lesson - and this happened every single one without a doubt, big smiles every lesson!! these are the best instructors around, there is literal no better - if you're thinking of learning to drive, go for Optimus Drive!! i have never felt more safer and happy having my lessons, they were and i quote "the highlight of my week"!! regarding price too, they are worth every penny of what you pay - they always make sure your hour or 2 hours are fully filled and got your money worth - they are so so worth it!!

passed first time with my instructor Steven. He was so patient and put all my nerves at ease. Couldnt recommend him enough for anyone who wants to start learning. His teaching style and friendliness really helps keep you relaxed when behind the wheel. Steph is also amazing at keeping everything running smoothly and responds to any questions you have immediately Thank you to you both x

After having a bad experience with my first driving instructor I found Optimus drive, they have an amazing booking app system and Steph (my driving instructor) was the most down to earth person ever, she made me feel at ease when taking my lesson and boosted my confidence, I dont think I would have ever passed if I didnt have Steph by my side so massive thank you to her, would 100% recommend this driving school to anybody! Thank you!

After having a negative experience with another instructor a few years ago, my confidence was so low and I thought I'd never be able to pass my test. But I started lessons with Dave towards the end of last year, and from the get go he encouraged me to push myself and helped me build my confidence, and was always completely calm and understanding with me. I couldn't recommend him more as an instructor :)
