Really recommend County Driver Training, so patient and goes over everything until you’re confident. Thanks for helping me pass first time!
Rob is a top guy and brilliant instructor. Passed first time with 0 minors thanks to him.
I have been with multiple driving instructors and this was the best one. I passed first time after only 12 lessons. Such a good instructor and he had so much patience with me.
County Driver was amazing at supporting my partner through his driving at such a big time in our lives creating our little family! Rob was so patient, flexible and understanding.
Fab — one daughter passed first time and my other daughter is currently having lessons. Would highly recommend.
Fantastic patience. Rob is a great teacher. Highly recommend County Driver.
Passed first time today and couldn’t have done it without the best driving instructor. Rob made me feel so at ease — patient and understanding. Thank you so much for your help!
