City Way School Of Motoring

After talking to a colleague at work, we discovered we both had Gary as a driving instructor many years ago. Its now that I realise I should have posted a review 7 years ago when I was learning to drive about how awful of an instructor he is and borderline bully. He made me cry numerous times, at one point yanking the steering wheel towards himself because he said I was too close to an oncoming car, although I was no where near. The amount of times I would come home crying because of the way he spoke to me or his actions were ridiculous. He would shout and make you feel so stupid when in a situation like that, a calm situation telling you what you had done wrong would be a lot more helpful. He never told you a positive and was always met with negatives or unnecessary comments. One of his replies to a review says near perfect drive why do you need to highlight this and cant just say was a good drive or well done? I remember my mum having to contact him after me cancelling a bulk set of lessons for some money back which he refused every though we gave him plenty of notice about this. He would cut lessons short and then sit outside my house chatting. The only nice thing I can remember about the experience is Gary helping me with my theory one day. I was so excited to learn how to drive that I bought a car when I was 16 and he completely took this exciting time away from me. I would feel anxious before lessons, often wanting to call in sick for them. But would be absolutely fine learning to drive with my dad in my own car, often driving to Brighton and other further destinations with ease and safely. I often think about my time with Gary and how traumatised I am from my experience with him. Ive now been driving for 7 years thanks to changing driving instructor. I look at the reviews and see Im not the only one this happened to.

I have just passed my driving test, first time. I got a lot of guidance and help from my instructor Gary which i will not forget. I got an older sister looking to start their lessons soon and Gary will be my first recommendation to her!
