Yesterday I was shocked to watch this terrible instructor not only allow her learner to pull out of Ralph’s lane onto London Road Wyberton in front of me as I had slowed down to allow room for the police van coming down the middle of the road on blues and twos coming towards the junction her learner was coming out of. The view of the road was very good so if she was paying attention to the road she should have seen a white police van with blue lights on in the middle of the road but also when she got to ATS roundabout turning left she told her learner to pull out as she was going in the left lane and traffic coming from the right and going straight on was in the right hand lane not only should a competent instructor prevent learners from doing this as traffic often goes from the right lane to the left on this roundabout but she failed to see th 2 motorbikes that were in the filter position so even if she tries to argue that the car coming off the roundabout should not change lanes the motorbikes can and had to slow to avoid her she could have caused a motorcyclist to have very serious accident this accident would also traumatise her learner for months or more to come and could have caused her learner to struggle to pass her test due to her poor instruction. This driving instructor needs to be instructed on how to drive properly before she can teach others no wonder the level of driving in this country is dropping with such poor instruction given to learners in my opinion at the roundabout she should give way to any traffic coming from the right regardless of what lane it is in the point should be to promote safe driving not just pull out and hope someone doesn’t decide to change lane my daughter is 16 now and she wants a female instructor but this one I won’t touch with a barge pole Read Less

Highly Recommend Patti (Driving Instructor Spalding) she has taught both my daughter & nephew and always accommodated timings for sessions. Friendly Professional and super in regard she will tell you when you are ready and not waste surplus lessons if not required. The hardest thing is finding yourself a Test Date free! Thanks Patti for all your support. Highly Recommend. Read Less

I only had 6 hours with Patti as I wasn't in town for very long, but I was very happy with all of them. She was patient, polite and perfectly lovely. I can't understand the few bad reviews, as I'd happily give her 6/5 stars. I can be quite anxious and occasionally panic for no reason and she never once made me feel bad about a mistake. Highly recommended. Read Less

Would highly recommend. My daughter passed first time with no minors. Patti was always patient, polite and very friendly. Another good point, unlike other driving instructors she doesn't waste your money with excess lessons when not needed. Read Less
