I went to Clive for my driving test for a car and trailer. What an instructor. He is so easy going and a very nice guy. I past my test first time. Clive had me sorted in no time, he figured out my level and focused on my weaknesses after one lesson. I would recommend him as a driver instructor without hesitation. He is absolutely top class at his job.

Really amazing! Clive is really patient yet encouraging. I didn’t want to learn to drive, but had to because of my living situation. I heard some real horror stories of driving instructors shouting and yelling, but with Clive everything was calm and safe. I have just completed my 12 lessons and would highly recommend Clive to everyone!

I would highly recommend Clive to anyone looking to do their test. I done a trailer test with him and he went through everything in great detail and explained it in a way that’s easy to understand. I can safely say that I wouldn’t have passed it only for him. I will be putting any friends or family looking to do a test his way.
