Dave Payne Approved Driving Instructor

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing instructor and great person got a first time pass couldnt have done it without Dave!

Fantastic experience: Dave is a wonderful instructor! Always so patient and goes at a pace that makes you feel extremely comfortable, and always makes sure you’re not overwhelmed with what’s happening. Truly one of the best instructors and such a fun person! Genuinely don’t know what I would’ve done without his help Will absolutely miss getting the craic with him and I wish him all the best! ☺️

Fantastic experience: The GOAT instructor. Extremely effective and efficient method which gave me the confidence to pass first time! David was patient and accommodating and created a relaxed environment to learn in. If you want to actually learn to drive, and not just pass, choose David

Fantastic experience: Dave was an exceptional driving instructor. He was patient, unlike myself, understanding of frustration, again - unlike myself, and thankfully didn't take someone who is a bit too serious, too seriously. Whilst I'll never pretend to have enjoyed learning to drive, Dave had me half convinced that I did at times. The man has clearly taught a lot of different people, and has adapted his approach many times, not only to best suit the learning paradigm of the student - but get a great outcome too. In truth, he was my first (and last) Driving Instructor, so I feel very much like I lucked out by all accounts. I'd genuinely, *highly*, recommend Dave to anyone who is looking for a great driving instructor - especially those who feel like they can't learn this skill. Dave will prove you wrong.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant overall experience learning to drive with Dave. A very knowledgeable and patient instructor and under his guidance I went from never being behind a wheel before to being a confident driver and achieving my test. I highly recommend Dave for anyone wanting to start their driving journey!

Fantastic experience: I wouldnt be able to pass my Driving test if not for Dave. Dave is very dedicated, helpful and very patient in helping his students pass the driving test. Will definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: Dave has the patience of a saint. I was pregnant during my lessons and 7 months while doing my test, Dave always made sure I was comfortable and put my needs first during our lessons. I was really anxious to start with but he explains everything in a way which is easy to understand and I actually enjoyed my lessons.

Fantastic experience: Dave is an excellent driving instructor who helped me pass first time. He’ll be patient and understanding if you’re like me at the start and are nervous when first learning and he’ll be honest and constructive with your progress, helping you get better in particular areas you might struggle with. Couldn’t recommend more!

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend Dave highly enough! Starting with zero experience, dave was incredibly patient and guided me every step of the way, ensuring I understood each aspect before moving on. However didn't keep me stuck in one place for long, as other instructors might. His hands-on and practical approach made complex maneuvers easy to grasp and remember. The car he uses for lessons is perfect for learning. Thanks to his expert instruction, I passed my driving test on the first try! If you're looking for a driving instructor who genuinely cares about your progress and success, look no further than dave.

And gave me the confidence to take my test which I thought would never happen nevermind in less than a year of lessons. Would definitely recommend.
