BELT UP DRIVING SCHOOL REVIEWS

After doing far too much research, I’m so glad I chose Angie for my ADI training! From our very first meeting, she made everything feel clear and manageable. We set out goals, expectations, and a solid plan, and her open, friendly approach instantly put me at ease. Angie has a real knack for adapting to how you learn, which made a huge difference for me. On top of that, the whole team was incredibly welcoming and always ready with advice when I needed it. Between Angie’s guidance and the great resources from Belt Up Driving School, I managed to pass both my theory test and Part 2 first time! If you’re thinking about becoming an ADI, I genuinely couldn’t recommend Angie enough!

Absolutely amazing instructor Dave! Would not have done this without all your support, you brought confidence into my life again, it’s been a journey and I’m so grateful for this opportunity. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to pass.

Massive thank you to Angie on instructing me to a pass on my driving test. She is very patience and knowledgeable so that my driving really improved quickly. The car was always very nice to drive and it was a very pleasant atmosphere. I highly recommend Belt Up Driving School.

Gemma was amazing helping me pass first time with only 2 faults and went the extra mile to help me with my lessons couldn’t of asked for a better instructor - Connor. Reply

AAA SCHOOL OF MOTORING REVIEWS

I had the pleasure of having coral as my driving instructor and she is absolutely amazing. Was there from start to finish and never gave up! I suffer with anxiety but coral made me feel so comfortable and relaxed. Even when I got ill she still made space for me when I was ready o come back. Couldn't recommend her enough. Such a lovely woman. Will miss our lessons but super glad that I passed! Coral thank you so much for everything really appreciate it.

Couldn’t recommend enough. We have used Coral now for the second time, having had a wonderful experience with my eldest son in the past. And once again she didn’t disappoint. This time around, she helped our youngest son with his driving lessons, and she has been amazing with him. She is down to earth, and puts her students at ease and is able to make them feel comfortable and confident in their driving abilities. I love Corals approach and how she can communicate with her students on a level where we as parents can find difficult, especially when our patience can be tested. I found teaching a young man to learn to drive is a tricky thing to be able to combat, but with Corals help, we now have 2 drivers out on the road, having successfully passed their tests with her.

WOW WOW WOW Today I passed my practical driving assessment and I can not thank Coral and AAA school of motoring enough, I could not have done it with all the support I have had. AAA have not completed the set of myself and both of my brothers and none of us would have been able to do so without Coral. It may be your first time behind the wheel or someone like myself who need to polish up on skills you will definitely learn new skills with every lesson. Thank you so much Coral and AAA school of motoring your hard work and dedication to your job has changed me and my brothers lives giving us our freedom.

TOP GEAR DRIVING SCHOOL REVIEWS

I can’t recommend Chris Piper and Top Gear driving school enough. Thank you for your excellent service and instruction you gave to my son during his time with you. Great news that he passed his test today. I’m one very proud mum. I would highly recommend this driving school.

Would highly recommend Alan! no matter how negative you could feel about things he was sure to change this mindset! Regularly reassuring, regular chats to discuss work one’s and progress, regularly asked if there was anything of concern to go back over. Was a pleasure to be taught by him! First time pass! Thank you to Alan and the top gear team.

Chris is an absolutely fantastic instructor, patient, friendly and I highly recommend him to teach any new drivers out there.
