Fantastic experience: Samantha is the best instructor that you'll ever need, I've been driving in the UK for a year until my license expired. I actually thought that i already know how to drive. Then i took a driving lesson with Sam. She pointed all of my bad habits with my driving. She help me correct them and help me deal with roundabouts. Specifically in #cannockstreet roundabouts that is a hard one for someone like me who is not used to deal with roundabouts.
