"The wide roads around Custom House were perfect for me as a nervous beginner. My instructor was so patient. We practiced near ExCeL when it was quiet, then gradually tackled busier areas. Passed at Barking first time!"

"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!"
