I had the best driving instructor out there! Mr Chris Brown - i could never have passed my driving test first time without you. Thank you doesn't cover it!! You are so patient but the jokes need some work especially the learner driver joke!!!! I never thought i could cut it as a driver until i met Chris he not only taught me how to drive but how to be a good driver in todays traffic without you i would have given up a long time ago!! Thank you so much.

I really enjoyed learning to drive with Gavin Pinfold. He was local to me and to my school at the time so getting lessons in around free periods and after school were easy to get. Not only did he help me learn how to drive he also taught me what to expect on the theory test and what to expect after passing my test. The hours could be as felxible or as routine as you like and the prices were really good in comparison with other local driving schools. Gav told me he never puts anyone in for a test in his car unless he knows they are ready, which made the experience all the more enjoyable knowing that he actually care about the quality of your driving. I have recomended Gavin to one of my friends and they loved it just as much as i did! Thanks Gav

I really enjoyed my lessons with Gavin having never driven a car before, obviously I was nervous about driving for the first time, however Gavin showed to be a very patient instructor and this helped me build up my confidence. Although I did not pass first time Gavin believed in me and I passed second time round! I would recommend him to everyone as he is a great driving instructor! Thank-you Gavin!!!!!

I was ready to give up when Jo took me for lessons.  I really got on well with her and appreciated the teaching methods of a female instructor.  Passed third time!  Thank you Jo, best of luck to you and your daughters.  sarah xxxx

I have been a student of 1 way driving school for over a year and have recently passed my test. I would like to express to you the fact that I felt the teaching provided by my instructor, Simon Stevenson, was exceptional. Simon was my second instructor to whom I had switched after relocating for University. He adopted an understanding approach to my driving, which proved to be invaluable. His willingness to help the student particularly impressed me as he offered telephone contact even outside of working hours in which I was free to ask him any question I had should they arise. I found this to be extremely helpful and supportive when under the anxiety of taking my test and I feel that his instruction in general has made all the difference in my driving education. Thank you for your time.

Well well well.... what can i say! 1 way driving school is the best ive known, and belive me i had been with a few driving schools.Its all down to one man!!! GAVIN the man of the moment. I had bad experiences with the other driving schools, one including me going round the corner on two wheels and then a freaky driving instructor, and i swore i would never learn to drive again. That all changed when i got 1 Ways number, they understood the probloms i had had, and worked to achieve my fears. Although i can say 1way driving school is the best, it wouldn't be without the instructors and especially Gavin. He is an asset to the company and himself. He teaches with ease and comedy and he wasn't just an instructor, in the end he was a friend also. Its all thanks to this man i passed first time a week today! So thankyou and it was a great pleasure to learn with you. Highly Recommended!!!!!

Anonymous (03/10/2008);

I passed my test in 2004, with big thanks to, Mike Kalwa, my instructor who admittedly put up with some tough times at the start of my lessons.
 
I had recieved lessons from other schools prior to this and had an accident in a car which was written off.
 
This put a big fear inside me as I was driving at the time, I refused from then on to have anymore lessons or get back behind the wheel.
 
My mum then came home one night and gave me 1way driving schools number, I had my first lesson within a week and 6 weeks down the line I was enjoying the freedom of being back behind that wheel and facing my demons.
 
I was taught never to give up, accidents aren't always your fault but the fault of other drivers on the road too. 
 
Thanks to 1way driving school I successfully passed my test and now have personal freedom, along with my brother who also successfully passed with them 3 years ago
 
Thanks 1way for teaching me to face the demons of the road instead of the kings of the road!!!

Alex Booth – Keyworth

Well i passed just over 2years ago now and 1st time may i add. All thanks to Paul who is a fab driving instructor and has a lot of patience, well you would need to teach me! Keep up the great work guys. I highly recommend 1 way to everyone who’s learning to drive.

Rose Scriven-Nottingham

I didn't even want to really drive after having a really crappy instructor but I decided to give 1 Way a go, I got Jo! Jo made me, a really nervous & hesitant driver, into someone who really got to enjoy driving. Jo made everything positive, was always chilled out and laid back with such a great sense of humour...just what a learner driver needs! I just miss going out driving with Jo! I passed my test in June 06, and still have a clean licence...so Jo made me a good driver as well, in my opinion! A patient, understanding and very knowledgeable teacher. No hesitation in recommending her to anyone who wants to learn to drive x

Sam Scriven- Nottingham

I passed in May 07 with Jo, she's a great instructor. Thanx to her I passed first time and also did my pass plus with Jo too, makes u feel very confident and enjoy driving! Thanx Jo!!!
