I booked an intensive course as I was fed up of catching the bus everywhere. I cant believe I passed 1st time with a completely clear sheet. Mike is such a great instructor he made things easy to understand I am so pleased I booked with BDS what a great company! Amy Spedding - Passed 1st

About Simon
Simon Anson is a friendly, down-to-earth instructor with BDS Driving School. He has great pass rates and lots of first-time passes, and he is well known for helping nervous learners turn into confident drivers. He has helped hundreds of students pass through intensive courses and clear, focused lessons. His learners often say he explains things in a way that finally makes sense and that he stays calm and supportive, even when they feel under pressure.
Simon specialises in intensive courses from 10 to 40 hours. He is especially good with nervous students, people with anxiety, and anyone who has struggled with other instructors before. His lessons focus on plenty of practice, spotting hazards early, and building confidence that lasts long after the test. Students regularly describe him as patient, professional and genuinely on their side, and many reviews mention how he helped them beat their fears and pass with very few faults. If you want structured lessons with a relaxed, friendly feel, Simon is a great choice.

I was recommended to BDS by a relative. Driving wasn't as bad as it seemed, Simon's teaching methods are very good. I would recommend BDS because the instructor was very good and taught me everything I needed to know and made me feel comfortable getting in the car Jake McCrae - Passed 1st

What a fantastic driving school! I've had many instructors but Liz was by far the best I have had, and a great laugh too! Donna also does an outstanding job at going the extra mile for students under BDS and will help you get another test ASAP if needs be. Thank you everyone at BDS!
