Might be few years late to post the review but, I’m proudly deaf and use British sign language which makes it harder during the lessons but Steve Daley is very patient man, brilliant instructor and was willing to find ways how to communicate/teach me how to drive etc. Worked together and learning the signs to ensure the lessons goes smoothly. Builds my confidence up towards the driving and passed the test with few minors! Think I was first proudly deaf person they’ve taught. So, they’re now deaf aware and will meet the customer’s needs :)

Had a great experience learning to drive with 123 Drive. Both Bob Coughtrey and Chris Richards were excellent teachers. They were patient, clearly cared about their students and offered value for money. My weaknesses were targeted at the end of every lesson for review, and targets were set for the next lesson to help attain the required standards for passing the test.
After passing my test Bob went above and beyond to help me through the experience of buying my first car. He test drove it and was able to identify potential problems that I would possible have missed.
I would highly recommend both teachers and feel confident you would receive the same quality experience I had.

My instructor is Mark, he is absolutely amazing and i would very highly recommend him to everyone. He has such amazing patiencs and keeps you calm even through mistakes you may make. I couldn't have got as far as i have come without him. His skills as a teacher are amazing and very effective. I absolutely love to drive and have a smile the whole time. This would not be possible without having such a good teacher. So thank you very much Mark.

I was taught to drive by Aed and he was absolutely brilliant. I’d tried different instructors (from a different company) before but they never made me feel comfortable. Aed is a fantastic teacher - very calm, very patient (considering I was very very nervous) and made me feel very at ease. He is a perfectionist - but that just means he makes sure you learn everything properly. I passed my test first time after only 2 months of lessons. I honestly cannot recommend him enough.

Very good, my instructor was Roberto he wss friendly and patient I felt confident whilst learning I could have up to 2/3 lessons a week which is excellent for someone wanting to learn quicker than usual. I would recommend this driving school.

I began lessons with Babs as an older, nervous driver with some unhealthy learned responses to stress, with fear about driving that had only grown over the years. Babs was very patient and persistent and worked with me at changing my habits and thoughts about getting behind the wheel of a car. I passed my test recently a couple of days before my son's 18th birthday but felt like a new grown-up myself. I thoroughly recommend Babs as an instructor as he is passionate about teaching, learning processes but also having good drivers on the roads

My son had driving lessons with driving instructor Geoff over the Sept Oct period in Lancaster. My son had a very positive experience which resulted in him passing his test first time. Geoff was very professional and engaged brilliantly with him. Geoff always explained and taught clearly and my son thoroughly enjoyed learning driving. I highly recommend this driving school. The head office staff (Colin) were always helpful and friendly.

Wouldn't hesitate to recommend using 123 drive to my friends, Ali is a class instructor with unbelievable patience. I did a crash course with him, so was spending multiple hours with him a day, and it was worth every penny, I loved every minute of it, we always had a laugh while out driving.

Passed today thanks to my instructor Duncan. A great instructor who supported me throughout my driving. Calm and understanding and helps tackle any issues you may have. Despite it being my second attempt he had full confidence in me and really helped to get the result i did today. I would recommend him to any new drivers like me and wish him all the best in his career for the future.

First of all Duncan is a joy to drive with. Totally boosted my confidence, never felt under pressure and was willing to go through anything I questioned him about. It took me 3 months to pass. Would 100% recommend him, real down to earth person which helps get the job done, which I proved today with my pass. I would give 10 stars if I could. Thanks Duncan. �

Today I passed my driving test. It was my fourth attempt (third instructor in 12 months) but my first attempt with Paul Green my instructor at 123 driving school. I feel that if i hadnt changed driving schools I might be learning for another 12 months. I would like to thank Paul for his very patient and thorough teaching methods which have got me through the last 6 weeks. I would strongly recommend Paul and 123 drive to everyone learning to drive. Thank you Paul!

From the first day driving with Ali I felt very comfortable he really cares about his students feeling confident on road. He is a very calm and collective guy I never thought I would have fun learning to drive. He managed to work to a deadline and within a month I passed my test with only 5 minors If you are looking to learn to drive I recommend him to any student.

I had been learning to drive for a few months and felt as though I wasn't getting anywhere as I was quite a nervous driver. I began learning with Ali in Blackburn and just over a month later my confidence is so much better and today I passed my test! Ali was a supportive and calm instructor, would recommend!
