Roadwise Driver Training CIC: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I’ve just passed my lorry license with John! Great instructor, you really can’t ask any better and very strong recommend if you go with roadwise driving school!
Negative experience: So left a review a few years back but looks like it was removed. I had one lesson with Roddie Munro and it was the most awkward experience. Everything he taught me was frankly wrong and his car was old and rickety. At one point I kept brushing his knee when chabging gear bevausr it was so cramped inside. I wouldn't have paid if I could have gotten away with it. These positive reviews for him sound like another universe
Hi Graeme - your original review was before I began working for Roadwise so I can't answer if/why it was removed. We are however, a very different organisation these days and to the best of my knowledge, Roddie has not worked with us for many years. Our current group of instructors are all highly professional, experienced and friendly with fully roadworthy dual control vehicles. I'm very sorry you had such a bad experience with us but I can assure you can appreciate that we value all customer feedback good or bad. Allison Thomson, on behalf of the Roadwise Team
Fantastic experience: Had such a great experience learning with Andy Cunningham from Roadwise driving school and could not recommend him enough! After years of stopping and starting lessons with different instructors and struggling to pass tests I finally passed my test last month with only one fault and have the independence I need :) Andy has a wealth of knowledge from years of experience and explains things in a comprehensive way. He was very patient with me and helped me build the confidence I needed to pass my test. I can't thank him enough for all his help :)
Fantastic experience: Thanks to Roadwise & John Heffell I passed my driving test today at the very first attempt! John was an excellent teacher who was very patient and professional. I would highly recommend Roadwise & John. Many thanks, Jack.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Roadwise driving school and instructor Ross Richardson for anyone looking to learn to drive. After a few failed driving test attempts with a different instructor, I took a break from driving before deciding to try again with Roadwise. Ross was very patient, supportive and enthusiastic, giving me the confidence I needed to finally pass my test! Thank you to both the driving school and my instructor Ross!
We’re chuffed that you had a great experience Chloe:) Happy and safe driving!
Negative experience: Their drivers are past retirement age, grumpy and rude. My instructor put me off driving and lose my confidence. Not recommended at all.
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience with Roadwise. Ross Richardson was a great instructor taking me through the whole journey of learning how to drive safely and well. Ross was very friendly and we got on very well from the start. When I made a mistake he was very calm and relaxed pointing out at things to improve on very clearly. I would definitely recommend learning to drive with roadwise I certainly had a great time on my journey.
Thank you for your kind review Thomas! Congratulations once again on passing your test and that you took your time to learn not only to pass your test but also to be safe beyond it.
Fantastic experience: I used Roadwise for my driving practice and test and it is an experience that I will always value. Dave (David Watson) was my instructor, he is a very good instructor, quite patient and never tired of repeating himself even when my driving was a nightmare! From the first day he taught me road confidence and we took it from there. I had a nice experience because I was not put under any form of pressure, the trick is to just follow his instructions and you will finish off good. Oh yea! I passed my driving practical test with flying colours! I will recommend Roadwise always. Thank you Roadwise, thank you Dave!
Thank you Oby! Keep driving safely:)
Fantastic experience: Just had my second driving lesson with George. Had a great driving experience with both practical exercises and scenario learning. Had excellent feed back on how to improve and also what I was doing well. Looking forward to my next lesson.
Fantastic experience: My son had a great headstart lesson with Jim. Will book another lesson in February so he hits the ground running in March when he turns 17. Thanks.
Fantastic experience: Best driving school around but not costing as much as others. Dave Watson was my instructor, firm but fair and nice guy once you get to know him.
Fantastic experience: Great service and very friendly coordinator
Thank you Tomas!
Fantastic experience: One of the best driving schools in Aberdeen. Passed my test first time thanks to Donald being a great instructor - friendly, responsible and genuinely caring. Every lesson was carried out perfectly from start to finish. Donald taught me very well on how to be a safe and responsible driver. Hope you get your van soon. All the best.
Thank you Arminas :)
Fantastic experience: I was having John Heffel as my instructor, and I have just passed my driving test today. I am confident to say that he is a really good instructor, he is nice and patient. I would recommend him for any one who need an instructor in the future.
Thank you Eugenia for your kind words from John Heffel :)
Fantastic experience: I had a very positive experience learning to drive through Roadwise. I was very nervous about driving but my instructor, Steve, was very patient and did an excellent job at making feel calmer, helping me build my confidence and passing my test. I'd highly recommend Roadwise to anyone!
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Roadwise. Passed my driving test first time thanks to George. He is patient, friendly and vigilant instructor. His tuition is top notch and he genuinely cares about his students driving safely. Another plus is that profits generated by Roadwise will help support the good work of the Aberdeen Foyer.
Fantastic experience: My daughter Chloe age 15 did the headstart 14+ session on sunday with Jonathan. She thought it was an amazing experience and achieved alot . We would both recommend this session . Chloe will be doing it again in the future . My son also did this session and went on to pass his test 1st time with one minor .Thank you Roadwise team .
Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend this driving school to anyone looking for a driving instructor. They provided me professional instructors, very knowledgeable and patient. I happened to have two instructors in the end as I had to take a break in my driving lessons due to personal reasons. Learned most of the manoeuvres and key aspects with Bob Haddock. Finished off with a few lessons with Andy Cunningham, who helped me build confidence. And I passed my driving test on the first attempt with only two minor faults. Would recommend booking lessons during daylight and most probably a couple of lessons per week. Thank you, Roadwise!
Fantastic experience: Thanks to Steve Clegg for being such an excellent and patient driving instructor. He was very helpful and boosted my confidence and I passed first time.
Super, enjoy your driving Kate. We will pass your kind message to Steve!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic service and reliability. Thanks in particular to Dave Watson for his patience and positivity throughout. Highly recommend this driving school.
Fantastic experience: Donald Legge - from start to finish - provided me with expert, professional, and considerate instruction. With very thorough and constructive reviews and feedback, I was able to pass first time. Would recommend him to all prospective learners!
Fantastic experience: Passed 1st time today yas! My instructor Chis certainly knows how to get you where you want to be. Excellent instruction thanks again Chis 5 stars :)
Thank you Simon! That will cheer him up :)
Fantastic experience: Learned to drive with Dave at roadwise and could not recommend him more.
Fantastic experience: Passed first time due to excellent instruction. Highly recommended for learning to drive. Had a great instructor that was patient and knowledgeable.
Fantastic experience: If your looking for a driving school, I would highly recommend Roadwise . I picked them after reading many positive reviews. My driving instructor was called Steve , and I personally can’t praise him and thank him enough. I passed my driving test first time today , and I know that was down to Steve’s teaching. He is such a lovely friendly instructor , who makes you feel very relaxed, which for me was very important as I’m a very anxious person . He explains everything very well , and is always there for you if you have any concerns or worries. Even when you thought you didn’t do to well on you’re lesson , he was always pointing all the good things that you done and how much you have progressed . So always came away feeling positive . It was lovely to see how happy he was for me passing my test today , because of him he’s helped me change mine and my daughters life’s today , and for that I will always be grateful.
Fantastic experience: I found Roadwise when I was looking at reviews as I knew that I would be really nervous learning to drive and I can be a bit too sensitive sometimes, so it was really important to me that I tried to find someone who was going to be patient with me. I was very lucky to get Steve Clegg as my instructor who was patient and a fantastic instructor. He was great at learning me to drive and as well as calmly going over any mistakes, he was really good at giving me praise too which I think helped me a lot. A few times when the nerves got the better of me or when I struggled with how to do something, Steve had no problem sitting and talking through what was bothering me. I liked the fact that I was comfortable enough to tell him these things in the first place and know that he would listen to me and help calm me down. Thanks to Steve's help, patience and encouragement I managed to pass my driving test first time with two minors. I honestly can't thank him enough and I'm very happy that I've managed to do it.
Fantastic experience: Both my lads learned to drive with Roadwise. Superb driver training which sets a good solid foundation for safe and confident driving. Absolutely recommend without hesitation. Thanks Dave!
Fantastic experience: Passed first time with George
Fantastic experience: I recently passed my test with Roadwise and had Bob Haddock as my instructor. And I could not recommend him enough! He was extremely patient, making me feel at ease behind the wheel. Definitely a go to instructor for anyone that finds the process of driving daunting.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Steve Clegg from Roadwise (Aberdeen). He is very professional, friendly and patient that it is very important during your driving training. I passed first time. I had been driving for almost 20 years in my country; however, this training changed my life. I am now a new driver putting more emphasis on safety. I will never forget Mirrors, Signal, Manoeuvres, more observation and less risk. I also recommend Steve for foreigners. Thanks Steve for everything Recomiendo ampliamente a Steve Clegg tambien para personas extranjeras. Ademas de ser un gran profesional en esta area y ayudarme en sus clases con gran dedicacion, es una persona que le puedes entender facilmente y que pone mucho esfuerzo y paciencia para que el idioma nunca sea una limitacion cuando necesitas estar muy alerta conduciendo. Gracias Steve
Fantastic experience: My son had a great first driving experience with his instructor Jim. Great banter as well which helped him relax and enjoy the first driving lesson.
Fantastic experience: Dave quickly taught me how to drive in the city and on country roads, and we had a lot of fun in the process.
Fantastic experience: Roadwise was a terrific way to learn the skills to pass my test with great results. I learned lifelong approaches which will help me protect human life - mine and others.
Fantastic experience: So happy I have passed my driving test first time thanks to Steve Clegg! Steve is calm, patient and an excellent instructor. I would highly recommend Steve and Roadwise.
Fantastic experience: Thoroughly recommend Roadwise for learning to drive. I was a very nervous and anxious learner driver, like many others. I had Andy as driving instructor and he was brilliant. He was really patient gave good guidance and got me through my test. What I liked was Andy would always highlight where i needed to work on, I always felt I learned something from every lesson. Don't look any further it was the best move i made going with Roadwise. Now I'm a happy driver.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Steve from Roadwise. I passed first time on the new test. Steve is a very patient and experienced instructor. I looked forward to my lessons, and when I made mistakes I never felt discouraged or demotivated by my instructor. It was a very positive learning experience and I couldn't recommend him more.
Fantastic experience: I just passed my driving test after my second try. All thanks to my great instructor, Doug from Roadwise. Easy to schedule classes, good approach and overall a great experience. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Passed my driving test last week. As an older driver, with a string of learning attempts, I was nervous and not very confident. Doug from roadwise was incredibly patient and helped me get a first time pass in just 13 lessons!
Fantastic experience: I switched to Roadwise after 3 months with another driving school, and what a difference! My instructor John Heffell was patient, polite and professional, and always punctual which I appreciate. Most importantly he is a good teacher, who can explain things simply and has many useful tips for safe driving. After 8 lessons with him I have passed my driving test! Many thanks to John, I am truly grateful.
Fantastic experience: I'm happy to say that I've passed my driving test today, and big thanks to Chris and the Roadwise Team. I feel that my lessons were well structured, and clearly explained by Chris. Chris's teaching approach was professional and friendly, and he made me feel comfortable & confident which improved my overall confidence when it came to driving and that had helped a lot. Overall I had a great experience in learning to drive. And I would highly recommend Roadwise to anyone that's looking for driving lessons.
Fantastic experience: Dave was a Very Good instructor that was patient and explained a mistake during the lesson at the end and what you should of done to avoid doing the same mistake again. Thanks to Dave I passed my test first time with two minors
Fantastic experience: Had a fantastic experience from my instructor Dave. His constructive criticism helped me fix the poor habbits I had picked up since my test over a year ago and instilled new ideas of properly seeing the road infront of me and giving yourself time and space when driving in any conditions. Would recommend the experience to anyone as it changes your perspective of how much on a daily basis you're missing when driving and the techniques that could potentially save your life.
Aidan, you certainly had a challenging day for your Pass Plus course. You encountered a variety of conditions from start to finish - dry roads with clear visibility, dealing with the glare of a low sun, heavy fog, snow and icy conditions while driving over Knockhill and last but not least the night driving, much of which was conducted on minor roads. You focused well and showed a high skill level throughout and the experience certainly enhanced your learning curve. Continue to commit to safe driving techniques. Best wishes for the future. Dave Watson.
Positive experience: I have recently moved up to Aberdeen to study at the University. I had taken around 20 lessons and passed my theory test before moving to Aberdeen. Within around 5 lessons with Roadwise I passed my test first time. I would highly recommend them to others
Fantastic experience: Passed my test with Steve. He's very friendly and patient. Can't be more thankful
Fantastic experience: I passed my driving test first time thanks to Steve, I was a very nervous driver but Steve always had patience with me and helped me to gain confidence in something I never thought I'd grasp. I tried learning with 2 other instructors before I found Roadwise, after having a nightmarish experience with other instructors I was so pleased to finally find someone who wanted to help me learn. I couldn't recommend Roadwise, and Steve in particular enough, even if you're nervous to start driving or you have also had bad experiences I wouldn't hesitate to get in contact with them!
Fantastic experience: A wonderful first driving lesson with George - starting to feel more confident already! Very patient and knowledgeable - and also just a very lovely, and funny, man. Would recommend to anyone and everyone.
Fantastic experience: Just passed my driving test first time all thanks to Chris! I had 2 instructors before him and still didn't feel ready because I am a very nervous driver. My previous instructors were impatient (and easy to anger) which didn't help the nerves. Chris built up my confidence and had me ready for the test in just two weeks! He is very calm and I couldn't have done it without his pep talks and advice. Thanks Chris!
Fantastic experience: Just came off from my first driving lesson from George I totally recommend him for a driving instructor! We had a great laugh and he helped with the professional side of things also! At first was very nervous but once we started I got into it. Few things I need to work on but I am sure I'll get better by time! Can't wait for the rest of my lessons from George very handsome man ;) haha!
Fantastic experience: A big thank you to Roadwise Driver Training for not only helping me pass my extended driving test but making me a much better, safer and more confident driver. Chris was my instructor and he did a wonderful job helping me. I left each session as an increasingly better driver. I wish I had learned this way many years ago! I passed first time with only two minors after 85 minutes of driving! If you need high quality driving instruction, look no further than Roadwise.
Fantastic experience: Roadwise were superb, Dave Watson was my instructor and I could not rate him and Roadwise highly enough. He only took on as many students as he could successfully teach, and made time to ensure I had enough driving experience to pass my test first time.
Fantastic experience: Roadwise were fantastic from start to finish. Very professional setup. My driving instructor Steve was patient, friendly and very knowledgable. I cannot recommend Roadwise (and in particular Steve) enough!
Fantastic experience: Just passed my test first time with 2 minor faults. Bob Haddock was a fantastic, patient instructor and prepared me very well for my test. He told me I was ready to sit my test long before I expected and believed. Thoroughly recommend Roadwise and especially Bob.
Fantastic experience: I spent just over a year learning with instructor Bob Haddock from Roadwise and found his lessons extremely beneficial. As someone who often experiences stress/panic and self-doubt, I really valued his patience and encouragement throughout the process. Definitely recommend.
Fantastic experience: I just passed my test with George. He was a great instructor, who gave me a lot of confidence and was knowledgable. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a good instructor!
Fantastic experience: I passed my test first time with John Heffell and I would thoroughly recommend John to anyone taking lessons. He was patient and helpful and his light hearted approach made me feel more comfortable.
Fantastic experience: My driving instructor was Doug. Very thankful to him for getting me up to speed so quick. I passed with clean sheet on the first go
Fantastic experience: Just passed my test today with 0 faults first time, absolutely buzzin... road wise are really good, well especially my driving instructor Stephen Clegg . Thanks a lot to him and if you're learning and not with roadwise ..... then switch to road wise !!!
Fantastic experience: I started off driving with a different driving school but I found I wasn't progressing and my confidence was decreasing. Roadwise was recommended to me and George Rae was suggested given my situation and my previous experience with driving. George is fantastic - very calm and knowledgeable, a completely different kind of instructor from my previous. His approach rapidly regained my confidence and as a result my driving improved and I got through my test. I am planning on doing my Pass Plus driving with George. Thank you for your help and support George!
Fantastic experience: A friend recommended Roadwise to me. My instructor Steve was excellent. Really helped with my confidence and helped me pass first time. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Really great instructor, helped me pass first time. Would recommend to any learner. Thanks again kenny.
Fantastic experience: My experience was first rate. I was taught my RICHARD MURRAY and passed my exam first time after around 3 months of tuition. I looked forward to my lessons and felt that I was making real progress each time. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with RICHARD and he immediately made me feel confident and at ease. He tailored the lessons so suit my requests and demonstrated a personal investment in my success. I would recommend Roadwise, and specifically RICHARD MURRAY in a heart beat.
Fantastic experience: Passed with 1 minor thanks to John, Great instructor. Would highly recommend him.
Fantastic experience: passed my test first time this morning, thanks to Steve for his excellent tuition
Fantastic experience: I choose to take my driving lessons with Roadwise driving school after receiving excellent feedback from my sister who took lessons and pass her test with them. Since the first lesson, my instructor Steve was very helpful, very patient and guide me through all the driving process and rules in a very informative and useful way. Always being positive and with clear instructions all the learning journey was very productive! For someone who comes and have driven from outside UK , I can say his teaching style is highly effective and very helpful, and I’d highly recommend to take driving lessons with Steve. Overall, great results!
Fantastic experience: I chose Roadwise Driver Training after hearing good reviews from a friend. From my very first lesson, my instructor Steve was patient, polite and very informative. Under his instruction I never felt nervous and always felt very safe and in control of the vehicle. Today I passed my driving test on my first attempt and I couldn't be happier! Thank you so much Steve! I'd highly recommend Steve and Roadwise!
Fantastic experience: Great first driving lesson with George! He used a variety of different techniques to help me understand different aspects of driving
Fantastic experience: I came to Roadwise as a nervous driver, and after having lessons with John Heffell, he was able to put me at ease and I managed to pass my test with only 3 minors. Not only was he patient with me, but he gave me my confidence back! I would definitely recommend John and Roadwise to anyone learning to drive! Again, thank you!!
Fantastic experience: Would definetly recommend roadwise. My instructor Steve clegg was excellent, friendly, good at teaching and very patient. Passed first time with 0 minors faults.
Fantastic experience: My instructor George Ray is an amazing instructor and very easy to get on with. He reassured me on my first lesson as I was quite nervous and was very calm and inspiring. He was always helpful and able to get me back on track if I went wrong somewhere. I passed my test first time and will certainly refer my friends to Road Wise! Thank you George and thank you Road Wise. :)
Fantastic experience: My instructor John was honestly so good, cannot rate him highly enough. Helped me not only pass the test first time with 2 minors but also showed me how to become a better driver in general. If anyone is looking for lessons I would definitely recommend roadwise. Well worth it!!
Fantastic experience: Had my first lesson with George Rae last night. I am a fairly experienced driver but I am not a confident driver at all. George is the perfect instructor for me, friendly, lots of patience, gave me plenty of tips that I had never heard of and I know I'll do well with him! can't wait to keep learning with Roadwise.
Fantastic experience: I am delighted!!! Today is the best day as I have passed my driving test at the first attempt! All thanks to an AMAZING instructor Stephen Clegg who hasn't lost his patience with me even though it was challenging teaching me how to drive ! I love Roadwise and I can honestly say I would recommend it to everyone and especially Stephen ! It was an amazing journey and I loved every minute of it !!! Thank you so much!!!
Fantastic experience: Excellent driving instruction, i had the pleasure of having Steve teach me to drive and he did a wonderful job, couldn't recommend Roadwise more.
Fantastic experience: I found roadwise on Google and emailed for more information, got a response very promptly and all my questions were answered. Booked a lesson within a week. Just returned from my 2nd lesson with George today and I'm very pleased, having 2 instructors previously he is by far the best one, very patient and excellent at explaining things. Recommend to everyone! :)
Fantastic experience: I came to Roadwise with the need to learn to drive as quickly as possible given my limited stay in Aberdeen and i can totally recommend Roadwise for their safe approach and experience. I had driving lessons with Dave first but realised after a number of hours that i simply need more time to get used to a manual car and the left side of the road -which is when Dave advised me to try an automatic car with Chris. Both Dave and Chris are great instructors with a different approach but oustanding skills. Dave puts more accent on explaining what you are doing wrong and making sure you understand before moving further. Chris is great in building confidence in people who like myself think they are super bad at driving and will never learn. Dave was checking on me and following my progress until my final lessons. And Chris kindly offered his help if i had any problems with my new car on the road. I want to thank Roadwise for their personal approach and feeling of a family and can recommend them to anyone!
Fantastic experience: Passed first time with Steve Clegg, really patient, thorough instructor!
Fantastic experience: Received instruction from Jim Howard who was brilliant from start to finish. Would recommend highly to anyone.
Fantastic experience: I passed my test recently (1st attempt) thanks to George Rae! I moved to Aberdeen from New York 2 years ago and had to learn how to drive on the opposite side of the road, opposite side of the car and manual - to say I was nervous is an understatement. I had originally taken a few lessons with Red Driving School but my instructor just wasn't for me to put it nicely and after reading a lot of reviews and meeting Jurgita at a business breakfast I decided I would give Roadwise a shot so I emailed Jurgita who kindly put me in contact with George. George is very precise in ensuring you not only learn how to drive but understand how everything in the car works; he is very patient and gives constructive feedback and listens. Whether you are a novice driver or even have prior experience I couldn't recommend anyone more than George to ensure you are learning the best driving techniques to be safe on the road. Thanks Roadwise and more importantly, George Rae!
Fantastic experience: I found Roadwise on Google and was pleased with the great reviews that had been left. The reviews are to be believed. Chris was my instructor and he was a great teacher. He was friendly, patient but most importantly gave me confidence to believe in my abilities to drive in a correct and safe manner. Learning to drive with some music trivia and football talk thrown in as well! Thank you again Chris.
Fantastic experience: Attended a one hour skid course. Fantastic worthwhile course. A must for people in the ne of Scotland.
Fantastic experience: Simply Chris is the best. I passed my test today and i'm over the moon, Chris was great instructor who built my confidence. would highly recommend him. thanks Chris.
Fantastic experience: I had the best of instructors and it shows by a pass on my first attempt. My instructor was wonderful to me and had limitless patience when I kept getting things wrong. He explained everything I needed to do step by step and made manoeuvres easier to learn. My instructor was always positive but kept me clear headed as I have a tendency to get distracted. He worked around my horribly busy routine and went out of his way to help me fit my lessons in. Thanks again to Dave and the Roadwise Team!
Fantastic experience: Thank you to John Heffell for all his efforts in getting me to my test (and organising a backup car) after the handbrake broke in the hour beforehand. He couldn't have done any more to help. I only had a few lessons with John but I would highly recommend him.
Fantastic experience: I've previously been with AA and spent around £700 and they kept saying i wasn't ready so i decided to view roadwise page and seen the same reviews so i wanted to try them out as they are based in the building i work in and it's the best decision i've made i wished i went with roadwise when i first started my lessons i will for ever recommend roadwise to new drivers. They have great instructors and great teaching methods i felt easy driving with Jim.
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience learning how to drive with Chris. I passed my driving test recently with only two minors! I have been driving since and people who are in the car with me are surprised that I only recently got my licence. I owe this to Chris and his great teaching methods because I believe he has been teaching me how to not just past the test but to drive properly after I pass to. He always treated each lesson with so much positivity and confidence which made it very easy to learn and all my anxieties about driving to fade away. I would highly recommend Chris to anyone looking to not only pass their test but drive confidently afterwards.
Fantastic experience: After failing my first attempt at a driving test, I contacted Roadwise for lessons. Dave Watson took me out initially to assess my driving skills and informed me that I wasn't a bad driver but I needed to become a confident driver. So he referred me to Chris. One word for Chris - FANTASTIC!!!!!!! He made me feel so confident, had good stories to tell and told from the first lesson that I was going to pass my test this time around, and he was right. Patient, Clear with his instructions, left reversing had never been easier.... After 12 hours of lessons over a few weeks and I passed my driving test with only 4 minors. Dave was in the 'background' and called me a few times to see how I was getting on and kept encouraging me. Thank you so much Chris and Dave!!! I couldn't have passed without you......
Fantastic experience: I have just passed my practical driving test three weeks after my 17th birthday. I couldn't have done it without Dave Watson's commitment to get me driving this quickly. A huge thanks to Dave and the Roadwise team. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Had my first lesson with George on Friday morning. Was such a great experience, he really put me at ease, explained things superbly and very clearly and would recommend to anyone looking to start lessons. Can't wait to get out driving with him again!
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Roadwise and Dave Watson to anyone learning to drive. His guidance , patience and fantastic humour has helped me become a confident driver and allowed me to pass my test first time! Loved being taught by Roadwise and Dave and I'm going to miss spending time in the car with him.
Fantastic experience: Thanks Roadwise, couldn't have asked for a better driving instructor than Chris Gilchrist. Friendly, supportive, and a great teacher, he’ll build the confidence and skills you need to pass your test in no time. Turned what can easily be a taxing experience into an enjoyable one – can’t recommend him enough!
Fantastic experience: I'd been with other driving school in the past that was disappointing and Knocked my confidents. However I'm glad I went with Roadwise they are a brilliant driving school my instructor Sandy built up my confident behind the wheel and got me on my way and when I got my test pulled forward at such short notice the team came together to make sure I had everything I needed for my new test date BIG THANK YOU for all your support in helping me pass my driving test Roadwise :)
Fantastic experience: I passed my driving test first time thanks to Roadwise and specifically Andy Cunningham. I can't recommend him enough, he was so helpful and patient with me, I definitely couldn't have passed my test without an instructor like him. Anyone looking to start lessons definitely don't look anywhere else, these guys are the best!
Fantastic experience: Chris is the best driving instructor any student can wish for. He proved to be a true teacher with practical driving skills and knowledge to pass on to his students. He explained driving techniques in a simple way that an inexperienced driver (as I was) could easily understand how to approach road routes and situations. Your driving experience was valuable from the beginning in making me feel confident in my abilities to drive the best I can and helping me pass my test successfully. Apart from being an excellent instructor, he is a very nice, patient and friendly person. I enjoyed every lesson and would certainly recommend Chris to everyone seeking a quality driving lessons. “Chris ,thank you so much again!"
Fantastic experience: I have just passed my test after having brilliant lessons with Dave Watson from Roadwise Driver Training I would completely recommend Dave and Roadwise! I really enjoyed each 2 hour lesson with Dave and felt very confident by the test day. He gave really clear instructions and told me exactly why I'd gone wrong every time I made a mistake and was very patient when I kept making them! Now that I've passed I miss all the lessons but feel very confident to drive independently!
Fantastic experience: Really glad I got taught how to drive by Roadwise and specifically John . Very patient instructor who would make sure I was a perfectionist at each driving factor and manoeuvre. He offered constructive criticism and direction which helped me pass on the day. I would recommend John and Roadwise to anyone looking to drive in Aberdeen! A+ :-).
Fantastic experience: Roadwise Driver Training provide extremely helpful instruction allowing me to pass my test first time with very few minors.
Fantastic experience: Sandy Barclay my instructor was proper legend.. Easy going and more than patient.. 5 star..
Fantastic experience: I was looking for a new instructor after having a bad experience with my first instructor using a different company so a family member recommend i try George Rae, I'm thoroughly impressed after one lesson and would highly recommend roadwise to my friends and family.
Fantastic experience: Passed the first time with Chris Gilchrist. His vast knowledge, confidence in my driving ability, flexibility and friendly approach made both the lessons and test enjoyable and a cinch. Thanks Chris.
Thank you Temi!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic! John is a great instructor who got me through my test in just a few weeks, couldn't fault the teaching methods. Thrilled to have passed and would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for driving lessons.
Thank you Ruth!
