Moose Driving

Thank you so much for those words, so very kind.

I do work hard, it's a bespoke service tailored to each student's need utilising my qualifications as a driving instructor and as a therapist.

But without your hard work, it wouldn't have worked. Being open to making mistakes, analysing and learning from them. Trusting the process and trusting me when asking you to do certain roads and junctions was key. Thank you for your hard work.

You are always welcome to contact me for information or advice. Once a Moose Driver, always a Moose Driver.

Thank you so much for those kind words. You did a great job, we worked as a team and then I handed it over to you lesson by lesson.

I'm going to miss the rainy weekend lessons as almost everyone seemed to be!!!

Thank you so much for the review but most importantly for being such a great student.

We work as a team and a safe environment free from judgment in order to experiment and therefore make mistakes is vital to learning.

Tick-Tick is with you for life, meaning both forever and for any part of life, not just driving.

It was a pleasure to teach you, as it was with your brothers too.

And a special thanks to your parents for their support and development using their car for practice and the test.

Thank you for those kind words, we made an amazing team.

Started off we me helping to spin the plates, kept building up your skills and handing you the next plate.

Before you knew it, reflection showed that you could spin all the plates at once.

Many of the lessons we learned can be used in other parts of life too. You are such a safe driver and an amazing person. It's been a pleasure to have you as a student.

Keep in touch

We're sorry that you don't agree with the DVSA, our view, Institute of Advanced Motorists, and ROSPA's view on learning to drive; that we "learn skills to drive any roads rather than learning individual roads and routes."

It's a method that has been working for decades and has saved lives.

After receiving a text message from you where you blamed your instructor from another company for your recent test fail because they hadn't taken you on a particular road and junction which you did on your test, we offered advice of which you above selected a small part in this review. Even though we were not able to take you on as a customer, we took time to try to help you and guide you with advice about driving, learning and how to check your instructor had the required license when making enquiries.

The advice given was professional, correct and in-line with any good instructor's advice.

We NEVER teach test routes and test roads. We provide skills to drive, so you can adapt to the situation infront of you in that moment and drive ANY road.

"I had no idea which lane to use to go where the examiner told me to." Is part of your original message to us. Our teaching provides you the skills to make decisions based on instructions. We teach the preparation involved approaching roundabouts and junctions by reading the road signs, the lines and arrows and being prepared early enough to react; to "do something safely". It's a mantra all of our students know.

Our students are also aware that on the driving test, the examiner is not after "pupils who master" Junctions. They are after safe driving, not perfection. If the driving isn't safe then it will receive faults.

These are the skills you need to drive on your own which is what the driving test recreates, on your own on ANY road and junction.

We DON'T teach which lane to use when asked to go a certain direction at a certain roundabout. These are not adaptable skills and will not allow you to drive anywhere and on any road.

We are sorry that this is not what you want when leaning, we are clearly not the right driving school for you and we are truly thankful that we didn't go beyond a text message with you.

Your reply via text message then included a torrent of abuse and profanity at which point we decided to end the conversation with you. Which you then decided to continue abuse because we didn't reply to it, despite A) Not being able to provide lessons in your area and B) No-one should be subject to the abuse and threats you gave.

Your review is based on a text message conversation where you repeatedly blamed your instructors from other driving schools for your driving test fails, where you only wanted to learn test routes and where you became abusive when given an answer you didn't agree with.

You have never been a customer of Moose Driving and have never received tuition from Moose Driving.

Those people who have received tuition and who have been open to the help, guidance & teaching they have received have had (at time of this review) an 82% pass rate with the driving test and we have received awards for our tuition year-on-year.

Our existing and passed customers have been thankful and rewarding and our future customers will make open choices based on what they believe is the right method for them to learn and develop to drive safely on any road and any situation as we teach or to look elsewhere if they want to learn single routes.

For any prospective learners reading this, if you are looking to learn test routes, we are not the driving school for you.
