Conquer Driving Colchester: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I don't live in Colchester but I frequently watched your brilliant videos, which really helped me keep up my knowledge in between lessons. Passed today first time! Thank you so much for sharing your expertise so generously, you've helped so many people!
Fantastic experience: They should give Richard a Prof. title in driving. Every UK car learner uses his videos. From his videos I can feel a familiar academic sense in explaining things.
Fantastic experience: I recently passed my UK driving exam, and I owe a huge part of my success to Mr. Richard Fanders and his fantastic Conquer Driving YouTube channel. As a Sri Lankan with a Sri Lankan driving license currently residing in Scotland, I didn't take any driving lessons in the UK. Instead, I followed all of Mr. Fanders' advice and watched every mock driving test video he posted. Mr. Fanders is an absolutely brilliant instructor, and his clear, comprehensive tutorials and practical tips were invaluable. His dedication and passion for teaching truly shine through in his videos. Thank you, Mr. Fanders, for all your efforts and for helping so many of us become confident and competent drivers. You made a huge difference in my journey, and I'm sincerely grateful! Asitha Ranasinghe Scotland
Fantastic experience: I have been watching your YouTube videos since march and I tried all your tips and advice and I managed to pass my test first time with only 3 minors. Your videos really helped me especially when I was struggling with some manoeuvres and almost gave up. Thank you for uploading them and helping new learners I will always recommend your videos to anyone learning to drive. If I could give more than 5 stars I would of. Thank you
That's fantastic to hear! Thank you for watching the videos and congratulations on passing!
Fantastic experience: I’m currently learning how to drive in India and Mr. Richard’s videos are very helpful. His teaching method is amazing. Kudos to you, sir!
That's really great to hear. I hope you're enjoying it and I wish you safe driving on the road.
Fantastic experience: Could have given more than 5 stars if possible. I am from Calcutta, India, a city quite challenging for driving. However, my confidence behind the steering wheel has massively increased, thanks to the highly-dedicated YouTube videos of Sir Richard. Now, I am much more aware of what I am doing instead of just relying on "hunch". Thanks a ton, Sir. Wish I could personally meet you some day.
That's really great to hear. Thank you for watching the videos and good luck on the road.
Fantastic experience: Richard is the best. Best in the world.
Thank you so much for your kind words.
Fantastic experience: I love your videos really helps me
Fantastic experience: Richards YouTube videos are the reason I passed with only two minors, I highly recommend you watch his YouTube videos! I am very jealous of anyone who lives locally and has the opportunity to learn with him.
Fantastic experience: Appreciate your videos which you have so kindly uploaded to YouTube that would help a lot of new learners like me to remember what I learn from the pricey driving lessons. It’s a pity that you don’t cover Poole, I think you are a patient and helpful instructor who has explained the concepts succinctly well, your students would be so fortunate to learn driving from you.
That's really great to hear. Thank you for watching the videos and I wish you the best of luck on the road.
Fantastic experience: Good videos. You earned a subscriber on your YouTube channel! Your videos are very informative but fun to watch. I do not even have a license. Top notch videos, Richard!
That's really great to hear! Thank you for watching.
Fantastic experience: Never driven with Richard but watched essentially all of his youtube videos and passed driving test first time. Spent 18 hours in an actual car definitely feel the videos accelerated the learning process.
Thank you for watching and congratulations on passing!
Fantastic experience: Richard is a great instructor, his videos on YouTube are helping me a lot. I already have a driving licence and I'm preparing to get my UK licence, every time I struggle about something, he has a video for it. Thank you for all those great videos, your efforts and teaching.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Richard for his exceptional driving instruction techniques. His patience, clear guidance, and ability to customise lessons to individual needs stand out. He focuses on safety, builds driving confidence, and explains the reasons behind road rules. The car used was well-maintained, and Richard was flexible with scheduling and always punctual. I passed my test on the first try thanks to his excellent training. A definite 10/10 recommendation!
It's great to hear you found the lessons helpful and thank you for leaving such a great rating. Congratulations on passing Veronika!
Fantastic experience: Passed my physical driving test about a week ago, first time. Amazing instructor, would highly reccomend. With the free YouTube videos, would still be on test. Without this man's help, I would have failed. Would recommend Conquer Driving to anybody learning to drive.
Fantastic experience: Richard is an excellent instructor, calm and friendly he has his own ways of teaching things, which work very well. Also, his YouTube channel helps a ton to learn from. I passed my exam first try! I would recommend him 100%.
That's really great to hear, it was a pleasure teaching you and I wish you the best of luck on the road.
Fantastic experience: Their training videos on YouTube were a huge help in my preparation for the driving test. Thanks for the good work and the service to the community!
It's great to hear the videos helped. Congratulations on passing your driving test!
Fantastic experience: The best UK driving instructor and video of all. We will see how I do on Sept 8th. Starting from Heathrow to Highclere. Should I put STUDENT DRIVE on the back of the car? Mike
It's great to hear you're enjoying the videos Mike! You can use P plates if you have passed. If you haven't then L plates and the relevant supervisor are required. P plates do seem to make a difference as drivers are generally more patient.
Fantastic experience: Passed my test first time only by watching his youtube videos. If he can make me pass comfortably through a screen, I can only imagine the quality of his actual lessons. Top guy thank you very much for your help
That's fantastic to hear! Thank you for watching and congratulations on passing!
Fantastic experience: Richard helped me at the time when I was at my lowest. He was very kind to take me as a student with his busy schedule.After failing a number of times I never thought that I would ever drive but it was Richard's teaching and his videos due to which I passed with one minor. Till date I have never come across a better teacher than him. He is very genuine and wants the best to come out of his students. I will always be grateful to him.
Thank you for such a kind review Seema. I wish you the best of luck on the road!
Fantastic experience: After learning with Richard, I passed the first time today. He is an excellent instructor, and his teaching method and informative YouTube videos make learning a great experience. I 100% recommend him.

Fantastic experience: Quality instructor, lovely guy, got me confident on the road very quickly, passed 1st time.
It was a pleasure teaching you Jake, I think all the cycling you do gave you a lot of the skills you don't realise you have.
Fantastic experience: I have passed my practical test and got my licence 4 years ago, but I'm only now getting a car. Lately I have watched many videos on Youtube from Richard's channel and I have been very impressed of how clear and well everything is explained. Absolutely brilliant! Not only that every technical aspect about driving is so well explained, but Richard truly understands the psihological side of a new driver, which is a quality that you rarely see among driving instructors. Thank you Richard, for all the content you put on Youtube. It's a great help for me and I'm sure for other people also!
I'm very happy to hear that, it's great to hear the videos are helping people. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: The videos made by conquer driving were highly helpful when learning to drive, even better that they’re available for free on YouTube! I Would highly recommend using his content when starting out.
Thanks for watching, I'm very happy to hear you found my videos helpful.
Fantastic experience: Thanks to Richard i have just passed my practical driving test! He is a really professional and skilled driving instructor that knows how to help you pass your test and teach you to become a safe and confident driver.
Well done Marcin, it was a pleasure teaching you.
Fantastic experience: It's been a long road to me getting my license, I've spent literal years with him. He's a great teacher and if you have anxiety Richard is for you honestly. I passed today and it was thanks in great part to Richard.
Thanks Alexandra, it has indeed been a long road but I have the up most respect that you kept going even though it was so challenging for you. I hope you enjoy your licence, you certainly earned it.
Fantastic experience: Put off driving for years because I was terrified of it. Learnt to drive with Richard and passed first time
Well done Chris, I hope you enjoy your licence!

Fantastic experience: A driving instructor who is also a car enthusiast, never thought that could be a combination, but it's a good enough one.. 1st driving test, thought I could pass unless a disaster happened, and yes one did 2nd driving test he helped me gain confidence that I lost from failing 1st, and got my license second time round. Thanks Richard.
Thanks for your review Michael. I'm here if you need any further help.
Fantastic experience: After passing my driving test three years ago I did not have enough confidence to drive on motorways and dual carriageways. Richard helped me to increase my skill and confidence. He is a fantastic instructor, very professional and friendly. I would highly recommend him.
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend. Richard was a great instructor who has his own style of teaching. He was always calm and patient, also very friendly and easy to get on with. Definitely get him if you’re learning to drive. :)
Thanks Sarah! It was a joy to teach you.
Fantastic experience: Very calm, and patient driving instructor perfect for someone who feels anxious about driving generally. Richard has helped me see another side to driving and taught me more in a 2 hour session than I’ve had in my driving experience. Thank you for your help.
I'm ecstatic to hear this, I'm sure you will be a safe and confident driver.
Fantastic experience: Excellent and enthusiastic instructor, would highly recommend.
Thanks William, it was a pleasure to teach you. Good luck.
Fantastic experience: Excellent teacher, friendly and makes the lessons enjoyable
Thanks Dan, you were very easy to teach.
Fantastic experience: I would thoroughly recommend Richard to anyone considering driving/ refresher lessons. As a refresher returning after 9 years without driving, I was apprehensive about getting behind the wheel again. Richards knowledge, enthusiasm and didactic approach soon had me feeling confident again. I felt the lessons were tailored to my needs and the feedback was very useful including reflecting at the end of lessons. I would particularly encourage visiting the Conquer Driving YouTube channel to consolidate between lessons. Short, well made, clear instructional videos relevant to all aspects of driving.
It was pleasure helping you Matt, thank you for your review and I'm here if you need more help.
Fantastic experience: Quite possibly the best instructor. Taught me how to drive and do every manoeuvre possible. If you're wanting a quality instructor. You need not look any further. A great guy and a great teacher.
