Learning to drive has been an absolute pleasure with Chris, heaps of experience, lovely relaxed guy, passed first time, gets you to a 110% standard on mock tests then the real thing is a walk in the park. Couldn’t ask for any better if you manage to get a lesson don’t mess him about because you don’t know how lucky you are to have a slot with him." ALEX · 5-star review
