Cordel H - February 15, 2019

I took some good points from my lessons and those points helped but I felt very demotivated towards the end. More stick than carrot not how I like to train people or be taught my self. Might work for younger drivers but I went in at the beginning more confident than when I was about to take my test. He didn't think I was going to pass, very rigid in teaching method. Maybe not for a nervous shy student. I'm just trying to be honest about my experience. Regardless thankyou for puttung the work that went in to organise and I do appreciate the effort he gave my lessons he is passionate about them.

Posted on March 29, 2018 by Janice Stringer

One of the best things about being able to drive, is the ability and connection it gives you with your own personal freedom. I do wonder how this will change upon the arrival of driverless cars and in the push for greater technology – are we in some way losing our personal freedoms. I suppose this is not for me to answer but the generations who come after me – … Read more →

What Kind of A Bay Parker Are You?

Posted on March 23, 2018 by Janice Stringer

Pulling into Waitrose Car Park the other day. I looked at the way other cars were parked. One car in particular looked as if the driver had just thrown it into the space. The car was parked diagonally with the front end and near side wheel sticking into the next spot. My husband shook his head in disgust.
