Dear 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"!

"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

"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".

"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"!

"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

Hello 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".

Hi,
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 !! "

"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"!

"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 !

" Less than one week from my 17th Birthday to passing my Practical Test 1st time and getting my full Driving Licence.

Hello 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.

Hi,
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

" Today 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

"At 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 "!

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 !

Well 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

Hi 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

Hello 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 Marriot. 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 Taylor

After 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.
