Martin Donnelly - DLA Driving School

Fantastic experience: I had a great time learning with DLA driving school and was really pleased to pass with just 3 minors! Would thoroughly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Martin’s calmness and patient approach to driving really helped with my anxiety behind the wheel and when it came to taking the test. I felt as though he understood my thought patterns when approaching difficulties on the road and looked to fix them with lots of practice. Just working with me through my anxieties and driving difficulties helped boost my confidence behind the wheel, ultimately leading to passing my latest (3rd) attempt with 0 faults. I’d recommend him to anyone, he was brilliant.

Fantastic experience: Martin was an overall brilliant instructor and truly perfected my driving abilities. He could see what specific areas needed to be worked on with my driving and ultimately ensured that it was beyond test standard. Martin was always patient and understanding. I could not recommend him enough!

Fantastic experience: Marin is an excellent driving instructor. He not only shows me how to drive but also takes time to explain me the rationals of driving rules. One of the most useful things I found is that he usually takes time to talk through my issues and ask why I made certain mistakes. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to learn driving. Thumb up!
