Driving Lessons and Residential driving Courses
Testimonials - 2011 / 2012
Below are some of the kind words our past students have sent us after passing their driving tests. Their testimonials will hopefully give you the confidence in knowing that taking driving lessons or a residential driving course with ABC Driving School can be an efficient way to getting your full driving licence.
"I would be delighted to recommend ABC driving to anyone thinking of taking an intensive course. I did 45 hours with Nigel Fisher in an automatic and passed my test. Nigel was very supportive and patient throughout, offering encouragement to achieve the desired result and providing helpful tips."
"Thanks again".
Paul Williams"Just a quick note to thank you for the excellent driving course ABC has provided and a big big thank you to Derek Lewis, who taught me to drive at such a high standard that today I passed my practical test first time".
"I highly recommend ABC to all "!!!!
Thanks again
Richard BlackborowDear Nigel
"I would like to thank you very much for ABC driving school assisting me to pass my driving test 1st time within two weeks of my 17th Birthday.
I would also like to compliment Mark Rock on his tuition skills, and I also thought that he was a great help to helping me succeed on my driving course".
"Thanks again"!
Richard Tyrer"After struggling over many years to get to grips with driving i finally plucked up the courage to book a weeks course with Nigel at ABC. What a good decision! after an intensive 5 days with Nigel, Bill and Mark".
"I passed first time with only 4 minors on the Friday morning"
"I was more or less a novice at the beginning of the week but by thursday I was confident enough to do a mock test and good enough for the real test on friday".
"Everything was brilliantly organised, I was picked up from the hotel at 9.am every day and dropped off again later. The test was all booked for me, all I had to do was concentrate on staying on the road "
"For anybody thinking of doing the course, you won't find a nicer more professional bloke than Nigel. He got me through some hairy moments early in the week (especially roundabouts) but thanks to his great tuition by Friday I was super confident".
"To all at ABC many thanks"!
Mick TaylorTo Julie Chadwick
Thank you very much for getting me through the driving Test. Thanks again.
Love Rhian Pritchard"First of all I must say a huge thank you to ABC and to Bill Marriott. My Daughter attended one of your intensive courses last week and passed her test 1st time last Thursday after 18hrs with Bill. He really increased her confidence and her skill level. In my view it was money well spent, |(I paid as a Birthday present).
I would now like to have some information on the Pass Plus scheme please. I think Rebecca would like to complete this course and can see the benefit of further tuition from Bill. Once again thanks a lot and I look forward to hearing from you in the near future".
Regards
Dorothy ScraggsHi, Sorry it's taken a while, I haven't had much access to the internet recently and besides I'm always out in the car. Firstly I would like to give a massive thank you to Bill Marriott, the Instructor that I had. This guy is amazing and I would recommend him to anybody. From the very first time I sat in the car on my first lesson I felt comfortable and didn't feel nervous at all. Indeed throughout my lessons he built my confidence up high and did his best to keep it there no matter what stupid mistakes I ended up doing, (stalling in front of everybody at traffic lights ! or roundabouts, oops, embarrassing moments).
He is a kind, friendly professional, supportive and patient guy who you can have a laugh with and whose great tuition skills made me pass first time !
I chose ABC because of recommendation and I heard of their brilliant reputation. I guess I could have gone to a slightly cheaper driving school, what for ? £1 cheaper an hour and the chance of being messed around as I have heard so many stories of ? ABC driving school's reputation gets better and better all the time and I can see why ! There is no messing around and the quality of tuition is very high.
If you are reading this and wondering who to get driving lessons with, go with ABC without a doubt.
I recommend to everybody.
Cheers again Bill !! You are a hero, and to everyone at ABC.
I am off out in my car now,. Wahey !! "
Greg EvansHello ABC,
What a completely Professional Service !
"Before contacting you I was surprised by the lack of interest from other Driving Schools who did not even bother to return my calls !
From the moment I contacted ABC you were friendly and organised my driving course and Practical Test. After passing I would like to say a special thank-you to Mark Rock my Instructor who helped me throughout the course to reach the standard required".
Ananth KhetaniHi Nigel,
"Please pass on a BIG Thank-you to Paul Jones after passing my Practical Test with only 5 minors today.
Keep up the good work "
"Highly Recommended" !
Michael Washington"I started off as a very nervous driver and at that time I didn't really want to drive at all".
"Nigel was very patient with me and is obviously a very professional Instructor".
"My confidence built up and with his help I was able to pass my Practical Test 1st time".
Cheers Nigel !
Richard Hughes"I'd like to recommend anyone who is looking for a new Driving Instructor, (whether it be to touch up on your skills or learn from scratch) to learn from and use the expertise of Matt Williams, who is anything but your typical Driving Instructor".
"He won't shout at you, he won't lose his temper when you stall the car for the fifth time in a row and he will never ever grab the steering wheel off you, unless of course you steer directly into the path of a red double-decker bus"!
"In my opinion he has a very mature, responsible yet laid back approach to teaching. He is a genuinely nice guy with a reputation of being very, very reliable. This is someone who will literally bend over backwards to accommodate your needs".
"Matt made the entire process of learning to drive incredibly simplistic, enriching and relatively stress free. On April 18th I passed my test with only 5 minors, which I put down to test nerves".
I'd like to thank Matt for his hours of patience whilst teaching me the art of clutch control so as not to stall the car yet again"!
Katie SandersLess than one week from my 17th Birthday to passing my Practical Test 1st time and getting my full Driving Licence.
A big thank-you to Mark Rock for his patience and 1st class tuition, my course was very professionally organised
Now I am out on the road
Daniel CurtisDear Julie,
Thank you so much for all your guidance in getting Jack through 1st time!
Fondest love.
Sian & BoysHi, After failing two tests in my local area I was very disillusioned and very low.
My decision, (after being recommended) to come to ABC for three days was the best move I could have made.
Now I have the full licence I always wanted, a car and a new career to look foreword to.
A big thanks and another big hug to my Instructor Nigel Fisher who made things make much more sense.
Thanks again for all your patience and for putting up with my tears and frustration so professionally and nicely.
Superb Service !
Kindest Regards
Nicole FaithHello all at ABC
After a disappointing course at another driving school where 30 people took tests in one week and none passed.
I contacted Nigel at ABC Driving School and what a great decision that was !
The course was perfectly organised by him, including a nice clean and friendly Hotel at a reasonable rate..
Now I have the full licence I dreamed off and can now move forward with my Business plans.
Perfect Service, 1st class instruction,these guys are real experts
Thanks again.
Bradley EllisAt 59 years old I decided to learn to drive in an Automatic car. I contacted Nigel @ ABC Driving School.
Now 9 months later after passing my Theory Test and my Practical Test 1st Time I have just had my 60th Birthday. a
Also I have completed my Pass Plus and I am happily driving on motorways.
Thank you very much Nigel.
You are a brilliant Instructor and made me feel at ease from my first lesson!
Val HulseToday I received my wonderful pink full driving licence after being stuck with a green provisional one for far too long.
In the past I had a bad experience with another driving school, but ABC were completely different.
I had the pleasure of being taught by Mark Rock who was so patient and adapted his tuition to my way of learning.
By this I mean my chronic inability to tell left from right. He never made me feel anxious or that I couldn't do it, always calm and full of assurance.
Mark is an absolute master of pep talks, something I needed quite often.
All in all I had a wonderful experience with ABC.
Nigel was always available to take my calls or respond quickly to e.mails, something other driving schools don't bother with.
I highly recommend both ABC driving school and in particular Mark Rock. They enabled my freedom so for that I'm very thankful.
Thanks again
Kylie FallowsWell what can I say, at 66 years old I decided to learn to drive and try and pass my test by my 70th Birthday!
After three years, several Instructors and many hours in a manual car I was advised to contact Nigel at ABC Driving School who arranged for me to try an automatic car.
All my frustration over gears and planning roundabouts soon disappeared. I found myself looking foreword to my lessons.
Within three months I had passed my test and now have my own car.
I cannot thank Nigel enough for making everything make sense !!
If I can do it so can you, contact ABC Driving School and change your life just like I have !
Thanks again
Jean Jones (still aged 69 years)Words cannot describe how overwhelmed I am with the 5* service received by me from yourselves.
I am sorry I wasted hundreds of pounds with other Instructors / Driving Schools before deciding to give ABC a try.
Thank you so much for building up my confidence and helping me gain the biggest achievement so far in my life !
I will definitely be recommending you to my friends and family.
You offer a 1 - 2 - 1 service on your driving courses and you get the hours you have paid for !
But other Driving Schools do not and you have to watch someone else driving for half the time. Wasting your money!
With ABC it was definitely money well spent.
Thank you so much again !
Chloe BakerTo Julie Chadwick
Just want to say a big thank you. Couldn't of done it without you!
Lots of love Lyndsey x x xAfter taking a driving course with yourself and passing 1st time in 2006 I was unlucky to receive more than six points in the first two years and had my licence revoked.
Following the passing of my Theory Test for the second time I contacted Nigel at ABC who got me a very quick new Practical Test and after only four hours with ABC. I now have my full licence again.
Yes I have learnt my lesson and will be taking care of my licence this time !
I cannot thank ABC enough for the professional way they have helped me and would recommend to all.
Philip EvansHello Nigel,
I felt as though I wanted to put in writing the fabulous service I have received from ABC Driving School.
I managed to pass my Practical test 1st time on Tuesday with the help and expert guidance from Bill Marriott. His attention to detail and his teaching style was absolutely fantastic.
This enabled me to be better than the test and pass with just 5 minors and three weeks tuition!
Having used another driving school in the past, the differences were glaring!
From start to finish the service provided by your company has been second to none.
I would have no hesitation in recommending your driving school
Once again many thanks and please ensure Bill has sight of this e.mail. Off to the shops now, by myself !
Kind Regards
Sian TaylorHi Nigel,
I just wanted to thank you for your patience in teaching me how to pass my Practical Test. I really didn't think I could do it , especially after nearly killing us on that one way road !
To any learner drivers out there, I say this;
I take my hat off to you. Although the actual test is short and sweet, the build up can knock your nerves and confidence for six, but if you believe in your Instructor you will be fine!
They have been preparing drivers for their test a lot longer than you have been a learner driver, so listen to them!!!!!! If they say you can pass then you can !
If your Instructor say's take the handbrake of properly, listen!
I have passed your number along to a couple of friends who have children coming up to driving age, so hopefully some more business will come your way.
I will definitely recommend your driving school to any who ask.
Thanks again Nigel, it was worth every penny and more.
Kind Regards
Louise WinchesterCan I say a big thank you to Bill Marriott for getting me to pass my test 1st time with only 11 lessons!
I highly recommend ABC Driving School as they are patient and professional at what they do.
As long as you listen to them and follow the system they give you you will not fail.
Regards
Alex MarshThank you Julie Chadwick for helping me to pass my test.
I'm loving it !
TobyTo Julie,
Just to say a huge big thank you for everything.
You are an exellent Instructor, (apart from your magpie greetings!! )
Could you also say thanks to Nigel & Matt.
Thanks again.
Belinda xDear Nigel,
Thank you very much for all your hard work that resulted in me successfully passing my driving test on the first time.
My new pink photo licence came in the post this morning. So now it feels official that I have passed!
I have already given out your details to several American friends who are in a similar position to the one I was in. Hopefully some more business will come your way.
Enjoy the long weekend and thanks again.
Sarah CarlsonI wish to send my deepest thanks to ABC Driving School .
I am currently disabled and learning to drive and passing my Practical Driving Test 1st time has given me back my independence and freedom I lost due to my illness.
My Instructor Nigel Fisher instantly set me at ease and gave me the tools I needed to pass with only three minor faults !
Thank you Nigel for all your help and support .
Kind Regards
Sabrina LovellDear ABC,
I really want to thank you for your hard work and patience in getting me to pass my driving test in 15 hours. I wish I had gone to ABC earlier as you really taught me well and have outstanding techniques. Unlike most Instructors you just get on and dont waste any time at all.
I also want to encourage anyone who is looking at the website and wondering whether or not to give ABC a call as I really would recommend them to contact you. I had previously gone with two other Instructors in the area and both of them were really wasting my time and money. When I gave Nigel a call he was very professional and very fair in his prices and his teaching was great. He was so patient as sometimes I would forget what he told me, also he was so calm and and had a great sense of humour and simply made a joke out of my mistakes which other Instructors did not. which made me feel much better.
I never thought I would pass 1st time, but Nigel had the confidence in me that I would and I sure did. ABC have the best techniques to pass your test, which I can verify as other Instructors in this area do not. Before I contacted ABC I was really struggling with bay parking and once the ABC method eas explained within 5 minutes I was able to complete the manoevre by myself.
I started my course on a Monday morning and passed my test on the Wednesday afternoon. It was worth every penny and once again thank you very much as it is great to have this freedom.
Take care and I wish you all the best
Miss Saran JonesHi ABC
Here is my testimonial
I would like to say a big thank-you to everyone at ABC Driving School firstly for fitting me in at short notice and secondly for helping me to pass my Practical test 1st time with only 4 minor faults!
I did the three day intensive course and would recommend this course to anybody. Nigel is a great driving Instructor and he has such a friendly approach. His teaching methods really stick in your head. Also a big thank you to Derek Lewis who taught me on the last day and went with me to the test centre. This worked well for me as having a different Instructor on the final day helped me when the examiner got in the car to overcome my nerves.
Thanks again
Hollie Bovingdon, DenbighTo Julie Chadwick
Thanks for everthing.
PS I forgot to mention I nearly ran over a rabbit on my Test
Love Rach x x xI would like to thank ABC for helping me to pass my driving test at the first time. Having just finished University I am now on the look out for work, for which driving is probably going to be essential. As I had about 20hrs of tuition under my belt from a couple of years ago I thought that an intensive driving course might be the best option for me.
The idea of combining this with a week away in a beautiful part of the UK also appealed to me. After searching online I came across ABC and sent them an e.mail to enquire about what they could offer me. Nigel responded to me almost immediately with details on what might be the best course for me. A couple of e.mails later and my 30 hour course over 5 day's was booked with the Practical test at the end.
After my first day of intensive driving I did wonder what I had let myself in for and if I had made the right decision. Fortunately I stuck with it and made very good progress over the next few day's under some fantastic tuition from Bill Marriott. By the time my test came around at the end of the week I felt very confident in my driving and that I should have no problems in passing my test.....which I did.
In the end I was almost slightly disapointed that my test didn't go as well as it could have, picking up 8 minor faults, but the fact that I did pass 1st time made the whole course worthwhile and my 4 hour train journey home a lot more enjoyable.
I would recommend this driving school to anyone who is thinking about taking an intensive driving course, especially those who have some previous driving experience. As long as you take on board what the Instructor is telling you , (after all they are the experts). I believe anybody stands a very good chance of passing their test with this driving school.
Thanks again
Richard MatthewsTo Julie
Thank you so much for everything.
I will remember you when I am in formular 1 driving for Ferari
Stefano x xHi Nigel
Hope you are well.
Just wanted to say a big thank you for getting me through my driving test and would like to make the following testimonial:
If you want to pass your driving test with ease then ABC driving school are the driving school for you.
After having lessons with Nigel, 10am till 4pm on Tuesday and 9am till 3pm on Wednesday I was ready for my test on Thursday. Matt picked me up on Thursday and took me for my test which I passed 1st time with only 4 minors.
ABC teach you what you need to pass your test in a relaxed and laid back manor, I was actualy looking forward to my test and was not nervous at all due to Nigels fantastic tuition and best of all the priceless tips he gives you.
Can't tell you enough how much I recomend ABC, fantastic company with the dedication and skills needed for you to pass your test 1st time
Enjoyed the whole experience
Kind Regards
Gavin PrinceHi Nigel here is my Testimonial
After 3 instructors and who knows how many lessons I finally passed my test.
All the way though the standard of teaching and professionalism remained at a exceptional high standard, While making the lessons fun and enjoyable. I would recommend ABC to anyone who needs to learn to drive.
Richard HardingTo Julie
Just a quick note to say thanks for everything. 'You've been a great Teacher' and I am very grateful for all you have done for me.
Hope to see you when I am driving about.
Thanks again.
Mark WilliamsDear Nigel,
Driving has always seemed to be something other people do, and having taken and failed my test 3 times between my 17th and 20th birthday I'd given up. Approaching my 30th Birthday I re-started lesson's on a weekly basis with one of the major driving schools, 16 hours in the car later, spread over 2 months I realised I was wasting my money, and quit... again. All I was learning was how to sit in traffic jams round Ealing Broadway.
So, I rang ABC, booked my week with very little faith that I could do it, and boy am I a bad learner. But one of Nigel's strengths seems to be coping with the overly emotional approach of stroppy female learner drivers, and very very patiently guided me, pointed out my errors in a firm, but calm fashion and over 4 days gave me the confidence I needed to try for that elusive licence once again. And against all odds, the DSA's determined efforts to cancel my test, other drivers in Llandudno's fascination with removing my wing mirrors and an unseasonably hot weekend in Wales I was prepared for my test.
As I approached the final bend in the road before Bangor test centre the driving examiner asked me whether I had a car, and the slow realisation dawned that that would be a really mean thing to ask if he was about to fail me. 4 minors, 2 of which I wouldn't have got if I'd remembered Nigel's precise instructions, and a blue pass certificate was mine.
So Nigel, I guess that that is an example of good driving, and I hope that I'll remember all your careful lessons for the remainder of my driving career.
Thanks, and best wishes
NellDear Nigel,
as promised a testimonial. Cut and paste as appropriate!
Aged 45, with memories of my elderly father forcing me to take the wheel of our ancient Hillman Imp after school every day when I was 17, I felt it was time to bite the bullet and learn to drive the Intensive Way.
Nigel would pick me up from Llandudno Junction each morning in the automatic, and between us I ended the week with a 1st-time pass. It was the most gruelling 5 days, with many highs and lows, but much to be grateful for. Nigel's attitude towards me was calm and tough at the same time. I had given him reason, on the first day's driving, to have faith in my potential skills, and he worked hard through the massive dips in my confidence to pull me up to the standard he obviously felt I could achieve.
There were moments after a solid day's driving when I was close to giving up; my poor husband saw the emotional strain it put on me each evening, as I kept a cool and reasoned head on my shoulders during the day in order to learn as much as possible
in this saturated way.
From Monday to Wednesday, I felt that everything I was doing was having to be forced from my brain, but - as Nigel had kept promising me - by Thursday, instinctive driving skills began suddenly to kick in, and I found automatically that I could read the road more naturally. This gave me a huge boost in confidence, so that by Friday's Test Day I felt ready to do my best. A previous lack of belief in myself and my ability to conquer this problem has finally been put to rest. Nigel obviously trusted that I had the abilities and skills to do the job, and it must have been a frustrating mid-week for him to find that I was not stepping up to the mark as well as I could have done.
I am very grateful to Nigel for the way in which he taught me, although there were times when it would have been easy to blame him for being incredibly pressurising and exacting at times when I felt very vulnerable and failing to learn at the right pace.
Friday 13th was never a problem before, but I shall now remember it with relief and pride, and that I was extremely happy to conclude a punishing week with a great result. Thank you to Nigel for his belief in his pupil, and for his undoubted tuition skills.
Stephanie HamerHello Nigel,
Just thought I would e-mail you to thank you for arranging and organising my driving lessons and subsequent tests. You provided a very good service.
Naturally I would be grateful if you could pass on my thanks to Mark who was an excellent tutor.
Best wishes
(PS My full driving licence arrived in the post this morning)
Mark Hanmer.Thanks Nigel!
Was a bit lucky on the day, I feel. Swings and roundabouts, eh?
Feel free to use the following:
“Very glad I decided to take up my driving lessons again with ABC. My instructor, Bill, proved to be a superb and intuitive teacher. From the get-go he provided excellent advice, encouragement and, when it was required, led by example. Aside from technical skill, which was flawless, he also helped put things into perspective – for many [like me] the psychological battle is just another thing needing sorted. I’d recommend him to anybody.”
Many thanks for everything Nigel. Took my first solo journey to Bangor and back on the Monday after the test – no worries.
Cam.Hi Nigel,
I took a two-day intensive driving course with you in July, but unfortunately failed my test due to a few silly errors. I just wanted to let you know that I passed my test yesterday with one minor, and that was largely due to all your great instruction back in July.
Thanks!
OlannHi, Just a quick message to say after I completing a 35hr driving course with ABC Driving School, from my 17th Birthday to passing my Theory and Practical Tests 1st time was only SIX DAY'S
The service I received was perfect in every way !
Special thanks to Mark Rock my Instructor and Nigel Fisher for organising everything on my behalf !
Billy McQueeneyTo Julie Chadwick
Just to thank you very much for the generous way you have shared your skills & enthusiasm for driving.
You have helped me to build my knowledge and confidence beyond my expectations.
I really could not have done this without you!
You are a really exellent teacher.
All the best for the future.
Hope to see you on the road one day soon driving my own little car.
Ruth x x xTo Julie
Thank you so much for giving me driving lessons and getting me through my test!
You are a star !
Love Hayley x x xHi Nigel thanks for the email,
Yes am very pleased with myself and thank you for your expert tuition. Would highly reccommend anyone of any age to learn to drive this way, I have taken some lessons in the past but tended to stop doing them for various reasons i.e. children, work,etc. I decided to go on the resedential course at the ABC school in llandudno after the new year and decided it was now or never.
I was picked up from the train station by Nigel my instructor on the Monday and got to drive for most of the day. After being dropped at my hotel (which was also an excellent choice at it was very well run and in a lovely location), I settled in and looked forward to the week ahead. The first two days was spent getting used to driving again in general and we practiced some manoevres. Bare in mind this was the 1st week in January when we had that terrible snow, but by the wednesday my instructor had made me confident enough to take on the A55 and drive to Bangor where I became familiar with the driving test route.
By the friday which was when I was scheduled to do my test I was very confident and felt I was in a good frame of mind to pass my test, unfortunately the road to the test centre was iced over and all tests for that day were cancelled. Although I was disappointed, Nigel booked me straight in for my test again which took place a week or two later. Again my instructor picked me up from the station and I had a few hour practice before my test.
I am pleased to say I passed my test with only 3 minor faults and was ecstatic. This was my first driving test at 45 years of age. I would encourage people of any age to book themselves on this course as I could really not fault the whole experience.
Thanks again Nigel
Annette FurlongHi Nigel
Thanks very much. I'm now the proud owner of a VW Polo which is sitting in our garage waiting for my license to arrive as I can't drive in Prague without the official license! Thank you so much for your support with booking me in for all my tests and lessons and Derek was just fantastic as well - very happy to write a testimonial so here you go:
ABC are just fantastic - top quality service, a very professional approach, flexible, accommodating and very, very patient. I say that because it took me 5 attempts to pass my test, mainly due to my fear of roundabouts but I got there in the end! I went from not having a clue about driving to passing my test within the space of 3 months, starting with an intensive course and then top-up lessons before each of my tests. I'm sure the other instructors with ABC are just as great, but Derek was a star for bearing with me and teaching me to actually enjoy driving. Nigel always managed to fit me in with Derek for a lesson and find me a new test date despite being so booked up and I know I'd still be struggling to pass now if it wasn't for your support. I can't thank you enough for everything and would recommend you without hesitation. Absolutely worth every penny!
All the best
CarolynTo Julie Chadwick
Thank you so much for all your support and patience. You really built up my confidence in my driving!
Jane x x xHi Nigel,
I would like to thank you very much for ABC driving school assisting me to pass my driving test.
In the past I had a bad experience with another driving school, but ABC were completely different.
Thank you Nigel for all your help and support.
"Highly Recommended" !
Amber NasimHiya Nigel,
Thanks
Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you, my boyfriend took me away after I passed my test, then got back to loads of A Level coursework!
Mark was a great instructor. I never thought I'd pass my test after only 3 days of driving, and even though I lost faith a few times, he believed in me and got me through.
Would definitely (and have) recommended ABC driving school! Thanks for helping me pass quickly and first time :)
Thanks again
Thank you Julie for teaching John Wynn and giving him the confidence to pass his Practical Driving Test first try !
Cynthia, Gareth & John WynThank you for your expert advice & guidance on helping me through this important part of my youth. passing 1st time within two weeks of my 17th birthday!
Mark Rock is definitely in touch with young drivers & wanting success for them thanks Mark .
Kind Regards
Hello Nigel,
Thank you very much for your assistance with my practical driving test.
I greatly appreciated your help with finding a convenient date for the test.
I truly benefited from the 10 hours intensive course which allowed me to pass my practical driving test.
I would recommend this to anyone who wishes to pass or re-take a driving test in a quick and efficient manner.
Warm regards,
To Julie,
Thank you for all your support and help.
I could not have done it without you. Thanks again.
Nia x xThanks Nigel!
Really happy to have passed it finally!
Thanks for all your help organising the lessons and tests over the years!
A big thank you aswell to Derek for his patience, excellent tuition and help in calming my nerves! Not an easy job! I'm going to miss my lessons now although my holidays will be a bit more relaxing.
Enjoy the rest of the summer,
Best Wishes,
Would just like to thank nigel and paul who are fantastic and put up with me while i did the 30 hr course they were ups and downs as at the start of the course i was very hesitant but by the friday when i took my test i was transformed into a confident driver and passed first time with 6 minors big thank you again and will be definatly reccomending you !!! brilliant instructors who taught me alot :)
Zoe TurnerNigel,
A short email to say thanks to ABC for getting me through my driving test last week. Bill was a truly excellent instructor. He always saw exactly what I was struggling with, and then talked me through it in very clear terms.
I'm really grateful to him for sticking with me right up to the test. I'd happily recommend ABC.
With best wishes,
RobertDear Nigel,
I'd like to thank ABC driving school for the great tuition I received in Llandudno this October.
It was so straightforward to arrange the schedule and the service was professional throughout. Poppies Bed and Breakfast was clean, comfortable and welcoming and a great place to stay whilst learning with ABC.
My instructor Nigel Fisher was tremendous, giving the advice and guidance that ended in me passing my test with 7 minors.
Booking with ABC is money well spent and I have already passed on your details to several people looking to pass their test too.
If you're looking for quality instructors, learning in a great vehicle and staying in a lovely B&B whilst passing your test then I'd recommend ABC wholeheartedly.
Thanks again Nigel & ABC
Jack from ChesterHi Nigel,
My journey home was great. Went straight into a college course this weekend, so apologies for late email.
I can't thank you enough for all your hard work and patience over the course of the week. I couldn't have found a more beautiful setting or a better instructor. I would recommend this course 100% to anybody determined to pass their driving test.
All the very best,
JaneDear Julie,
Thank you for bringing me this far. You have restored my belief that I can drive. I will continue until I get my licence.
Your generosity of spirit & honest approach resulted in my complete trust in your judgement. This exheeded my expectations.
I enjoyed the week immenslely & I will not forget it or you ever.
If I dont come back to do the Test I will let you know how I get on.
I will miss you & wish you all the best.
With love.
Tracey (aka Jackie)To Julie,
Thankyou ever so much for everthing you've done for me!
To think the firse time I got into your car I cried Iwas so terrified!
I honestly believe I couldn't have done it without you.
Thankyou for giving me the confidence!
I can't believe I passed 1st time!
Lots of love.
Vickie. x x xDear Nigel,
I would like to say thank you so much for being a fantastic instructor and believing in me and giving me the confidence to take my test. Without you I could not have done it :)
My time with ABC was fantastic, PASSED FIRST TIME :D after 3 years of learning and finally did it and again without Nigel I couldn't of done it.
I would also like to thank Mark Rock for being a great tutor, even though I did do a wheel spin the first ever lesson..
I started off in a Manual couldn't get the hang of it.. so lost all my confidence and stopped driving for 2 years, then had the courage in summer this year to phone ABC and take Automatic and my god the best thing I ever did!
Once again thank you so much Nigel!!
Lots of Love Rachel Arnison aka Silva lol! xxxHi Nigel,
Sorry for my late reply, I would really like to thank you for the excellent service I have received from ABC. Daniel and I are in New Zealand now and the driving skills have come in very helpful. You can add my testimonial below to the homepage if you like;
I would like to thank ABC Driving School and especially Bill Marriot for the all help I received towards my driving test. I finally conquered my nerves! I can highly recommend ABC Driving School to anyone learning to drive.
The instructors are all very professional and the learning environment is great. Coming from London I can say North Wales offers a great variety of driving routes and practice of situations that may be hard to get hold of in a city environment. Overall, I am very satisfied!
CarolinaHi Nigel,
I'm back in London and a very happy bunny having passed my test yesterday!!!
Can i write a little note about my great teacher Derek for your website? See below.
I would like to thank ABC Driving School and especially my lovely patient teacher Derek Lewis for getting me through an intensive driving course and passing my test with only 4 minors! Having struggled for years trying to build my confidence & pass my test in London (to no avail) I've finally beaten all my fears and am genuinely looking forward to getting back on the road and driving.

Hiya Nigel,
Thank you very much, I will always recommend ABC to anyone who may have confidence issues when it comes to sitting behind the wheel! My lessons were great, and Derek was very understanding when it came to organising lessons. I am also extremely grateful that you were able to arrange my tests so quickly. I can now make a proper start with my teaching career :) Thank you!
To Julie,
Thank you so much.
If it was not for you I would not be where I am now.
Love Sonia x xHello Nigel,
Thank you very much. Yes I had a good journey home, grinning from ear to ear all the way! Been busy car hunting ever since. Thinking I might get a Polo now if I can find one cheap enough!! I still can't quite believe I passed, it just all came together at the right time. I can only thank you for that. Hope what follows is OK for your website:
As I was approaching the milestone of my 40th birthday I decided it was time to learn to drive! I was taught mainly by Nigel and partly by Mark. Both were exceptionally patient, thorough in their teaching methods and very friendly. I travelled from West Yorkshire to be taught by ABC Driving School in the fantastic surroundings of North Wales. I would thoroughly recommend this way of learning whilst getting away from it all to help concentrate but also to relax. Thank you for helping me achieve a pass with just 3 minor faults! And thank you for taking me to the best coffee shops in North Wales!
It was nice meeting you too, you never know I might just see you again if I drive over sometime to have a proper look around North Wales! Cheers Nigel
CraigHi sorry I have taken so long to do this, I have been ill and really busy with uni. Here is my statement for the website if you still want it?? I am really enjoying driving! Thanks!
Being a social work student, it was really important for me to pass my driving test. After failing my test four times before, I decided to give ABC a try.
Both my brothers had passed their driving test with ABC, so it seemed like the obvious choice to make. I found the instructor explained things clearly, and really understood my learning style and needs. I was supported to build up my confidence, at a pace that suited me. This was really important to me because after failing so many times before, my confidence had been knocked and I was a nervous driver.
My instructor was honest about when I would be ready for my test. I was set realistic goals and built up my skills to make me a safe driver.
Test day soon arrived and I'm pleased to say, I passed with ABC. Now I wonder how I managed without driving before! I have gained valuable skills for life.
