About Drive 4 Life

​

So what can I do for You? Well, I will teach you how to drive. I will not teach you how to pass a driving test. I will teach you how to drive competently, confidently and above all, safely. This, in turn, will enable you to pass YOUR driving test, at any test centre in the country. I will also instruct you in all aspects of driving theory, hazard awareness, thus enabling you to sit your theory examination with total confidence. I have, in fact, a 100% pass rate of the theory exam. I will also teach you basic car maintenance thus enabling you to be a more confident all-round driver. THIS IS MY GUARANTEE TO YOU. 

 

You will be instructed in either a Manual or Automatic  Toyota Aygo X Play both  998cc which incorporates full power steering, ABS braking, five speed gearbox, air conditioning and both a delight to drive.   Automatic  has the option to use LEFT or RIGHT Foot for Accelerator so there are No problems if you only have one leg only. These are extremely well suited to driving tuition, and many of my past students have commented on how comfortable they were behind the wheel. I teach only on a One-To-One basis, NO CAR SHARING. This ensures that the time you pay for is yours and no one else’s. I will teach you in your own vehicle if you so wish.
