First Gear were excellent at teaching my daughter to drive. We had initial concerns as she has been diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum and can be a difficult student. First Gear's instructors were patient and punctual. Giving notice if events were to cause a late arrival which was appreciated. They also coped very well with us changing the schedule which as a busy family happened often. I would recommend this school to anyone looking to get their children taught with clarity and patience.

I previously had a bad experience with another driving school which really put me off lessons, but after having 4 lessons with Gary Taylor, I passed my practical driving test first go with no mistakes recorded!
Gary was super friendly, helpful and made me feel really comfortable.
Thank you Gary Taylor for giving me the confidence and skill to pass my P's.
