"I was honestly terrified of learning to drive. I am in my 30s and had never even sat in the driver seat. My instructor was so patient, starting me on completely empty roads until I felt ready. Beckton was perfect because there was no pressure from other traffic. After 6 months of lessons, I passed first time at Goodmayes. I still cannot believe I actually did it!"

"I was absolutely terrified of driving. I had failed twice with another school and my confidence was completely gone. My instructor at DriveThruL was so patient, never made me feel rushed, and helped me understand WHY I was making mistakes. Passed at Goodmayes with just 3 minors!"
