Sal Driving School

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Sal! I've previously been messed around by instructors and had a lot of driving anxiety that was stopping me from reaching test level. Sal is a very calm and patient instructor and 100% gave me the confidence I needed to pass. He makes an effort to understand how you learn best and develops a well structured lesson plan to make sure you're continuously progressing, which is something my previous instructors didnt do!

Fantastic experience: Simply the best, very patient and always has time for you. Helps with everything. Passed first time, no issues. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Where do I start? Sal is a fantastic all-round driving coach. I passed first time a few days ago at the Horsforth centre, all thanks to him! He doesn't just teach you how to drive to test-standard, he goes the extra mile to ensure you are a safe and competent driver overall. On top of this, he's just a very nice gent, easy to talk to and always has an encouraging outlook and attitude . In terms of the driving, the absolute beginner curriculum path I was on, did not feel rushed or dragged out - it was well paced and we ensured I had nailed a topic down before moving onto the next. It was always led by my confidence level and whether I felt like I needed more practice or wanted to move on. He is unlike other instructors in the sense that he asks you questions rather than telling you the answers. This allowed me to come to my own decisions on the road / solve my own problems. Though when I did struggle, he would notice and clearly explain my mistakes and how to rectify them (with or without dual-control ). I would highly recommend Sal for this reason as active thinking and problem solving is far superior, when it comes to learning, than passively following an instructors commands. He is very systematic and thorough, we went over everything that could possibly come up on the test, including the routes (for the Horsforth DTC), all the maneuvers, safety questions, etc... We did also cover some extras like nightime driving, rain and even had a motorway lesson. And finally mentioning the mock tests towards the end, which are great too! Overall exceptional experience, would give 10 stars if I could Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Sal is great instructor with patience, knowledge and confidence what is doing.

Thanks for everything

Fantastic experience: Sal is a knowledgeable and patient instructor. He is good humoured and supportive, and I particularly appreciated his ability to break down skills to make them easier to absorb, focussing on the positives. He provides learning activities and resources to look at when you're at home, and will always go above and beyond to help you on your driving journey. Lessons are excellent value for money; unlike other instructors, he doesn't have you sat at the side of the road chatting about driving, he encourages practical learning experiences.
