Told that I would have to pay extra money for damaging the car. What did I do?…read more 1. Pressed the button to change the side mirrors too hard 2. When too near the curb 3. Turned the wheel when the car was stationary - once. My first UK driving lesson and it was a horrible experience. Rude and so critical of every move that I made. I will not be booking more lessons with them and it has really dented my confidence in driving. I know I'm not perfect, but then explain, not criticise.

2nd time lucky for me. Great teaching and a lenient examiner did it…read more My teacher at Coles was quite firm and very organised and it really did the trick. I wasn't 17 and my sponge-like brain had dried up somewhat, but even so a year and a bit later bingo I did it. I recommend Coles because you get a fair old amount of extra bits and bobs for your money. I left with a folder full of test trial handouts, rhymes to help you remember and handy tips about holding washing up bowls and whatnot to get your wheel positioning right, Top tip: Don't try and scrimp and spread your lessons out - it's a false economy!

I had a few driving lessons in London before moving to Bristol and I practically cried before…read moregetting in the car I hated my lessons so much. I contacted Les because my confidence was so shot I couldn't even face the thoughts of getting behind the wheel of a car. Les is absolutely an amazing instructor, calm, patient and with a great sense of humour. On my very first lesson, he brought me for a confidence drive, armed with rescue remedy, wit and keen observation, it really helped me overcome my fear of driving at more than 20 miles per hour! Sadly I failed my test (completely due to test nerves not Les's instruction), he was almost more upset for me than I was! If it wasn't for my failure, Les would have almost a perfect first time pass rate. If smirnoff made Driving Instructors, Les Johnson's the man.

can't recommend Cwmbrân driving school enough. Learning to drive with Molly was the best decision I…read moreever made. It's taken me years to pluck up the courage to pass my test and I couldn't have done it without her. She's professional, always punctual and an all round great person who will go out of her way to accommodate your needs. I wouldn't recommend anyone else

Absolutely amazing driving instructor; I couldn't recommend anyone more thoroughly than Peter!…read more Peter was professional throughout my initial nerves, and made me feel very calm and relaxed during this time. I also found 90 minutes to be a perfect lesson length. As I progressed I always looked forward to my driving lessons, as I developed really quickly and enjoyed both the conversation and all the great learning tips and advice. Peter uses visual aids to explain new manoeuvres or junctions, which I found really helpful. If you want to re-do something or ask questions, he is very patient and explains things very well. He is also excellent fun and extremely funny! Absolute pleasure to be around but also extremely an good teacher. I am especially grateful to Peter for helping me get a refund for my first test due to an issue with the test. He was on my side and kept tabs on the issue until it was resolved. Truly professional and great experience as he was looking out for me even after I passed my test. 10/10!
