Kings Driving School

Fantastic experience: Had a great experience with Sinead, passed my test first time with her. A great instructor :)

Negative experience: I had a terrible experience with Carol the owner. Who turned up to my home in a bad mood with an instant dislike to myself for some reason making a preconceived opinion of myself. Saying “bet you’d love to know what I know about you” as one of the first things she said to me. Rude. Her behaviour was aggressive and unprofessional from the moment she was stood outside of my home having to have a cigarette before we left. A very awkward and bizarre first impression while I wait for her to finish her cigarette then get into a dirty, cigarette smelling car. Lovely stuff! Carol then proceeded to complain about how much work she’s got on making me feel like a burden as she so nicely said “I don’t wanna be working 40 hours a week” I’m still not sure why she agreed to take me out? I shouldn’t have gotten in the car I felt uncomfortable the moment we met. 15 mins into the lesson I pull up and ask her to take me home. As an adult I have never been made to feel so small, on edge or uncomfortable in my life. Her tone of voice the way she spoke to me.. I’m shocked. After speaking with my new instructor he’s informed me this isn’t new behaviour from her and I feel it’s important to let others know what they could potentially be walking into.

Fantastic experience: Peter has been the most patient and professional instructor I have ever had. He explains everything you need to know about driving in detail and it helped me out alot, I feel safe, relaxed and confident during all the lessons. He knows what he is talking about and helps you to be the best driver you can be, he gives you plenty of advice every lesson or whenever you need it, i learnt a lot of knowledge with Pete, I have passed my test and without Peters help I would of struggled, thanks Pete, would recommend

Fantastic experience: Peter has been the most patient and professional instructor I have ever had. He explains everything you need to know about driving in detail and this has helped me a lot to over come my driving anxiety so quickly. I feel safe and confident during all the lessons and I pick up all the driving skills faster than I expected myself. He knows what he is talking about and genuinely cares about helping you to be the best driver you can be and gives prenty of advice every lesson.I am excited about passing my driving test in the future for the first time in my life thanks to Peter. Grace.

Fantastic experience: Pete is my instructor and I must say he is the most patient and straight-up mentor I have ever spoken to. I have terrible anxiety and have been in a car crash in the past so I have a HUGE fear of being on the road. Even before I had chance to drive the car, I was made to feel at ease by Pete as we started to work on my current barriers. I am not only learning to drive but I’m also being coached and picking up skills I use day to day. I know if I am unsure I can ask and if I’m feeling especially anxious I am given the time to ground myself. If I start to panic, Pete doesn’t even take this out of my time and is very very aware of the effects mental health can have on you as a learner and is very understanding and adaptive. The lessons I am receiving are definitely (more than) value for money and instead of being scared when I have a lesson coming up, I’m truly excited. Pete is not just an instructor, he is truly a mentor who wants what’s best for his students!
