 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can’t recommend Dave enough! He’s been an absolutely fantastic driving instructor — patient, supportive, and incredibly knowledgeable. He took the time to walk me through all the key routes and manoeuvres around St Albans, making sure I felt confident every step of the way. His positive attitude and belief in me really motivated me to do my best, and thanks to his guidance, I passed my test first time! If you’re looking for an instructor who’s friendly, professional, and genuinely wants you to succeed, Dave is the one to go for.

If I could rate Dave anymore than a 5 I would, leading with Dave was amazing, it was never akward, always great conversation, I wouldn’t off passed with just 1 minor with any other driving instructor, I can’t recommend him enough ! 🥰

FIRST test NO minors

July 28, 2026

I have recently passed my driving test in Watford with Dave, passed first time and NO MINORS at all and I couldn’t be happier he’s such a good driving instructor, he is patient, easygoing and kind which is what you need when you are learning to drive no stress and someone that’s listens he answers all your questions, he’s very knowledgeable. Lessons start and finish on time to get the best out of the lesson I am very happy to have found him as my instructor.

Best Driving Instructor!

Dave is the best instructor! I was a very nervous driver when I first started driving however with Dave after the first lesson I felt so much more confident. Dave is very patient and relaxed which made learning to drive feel much easy than I thought it would! I feel I learnt so much so quickly with Dave, and he made me feel very prepared for my test when the time came. I passed 1st time! Would definitely recommend!
