This is in response of Steve's earlier review, this lesson was a girls very 1st lesson and 1st time in the driving seat of a car and in her words she said (she was bricking it ). As for passenger door left open as with covid at the moment we need as much fresh air in the car as possible, as been for a bus route all of whickham is a bus route so don't what is the problem, parking opposite a junction, well if he seen we stop before it then was going use it to turn the car around as most drivers would do so unfortunately when you came out which made us having to stop and wait until he left the junction so we could compete the turn and for the blind summit yes we stop ok she braked little to hard but we were 150/200 yards away on park way leading to fellside road which in my opinion is not a blind summit as you can see the junction if anything came in. Last of all as I said this was her very 1st driving lessons which I managed to get her driving up and down park way use 1st,2nd,3rd gear finishing on a high until you blasted the horn and took the edge off her lesson.please remember we were all learners at one time please be patient Read Less

Not sure what they are like to pupils but obviously don't know driving and road rules. Came across the same car 3 times in whickham today. First time, on a bus route and driving instructor switching with pupil leaving door wide open. Second time found it parked straight opposite my street, opposite the junction. Third time followed it on a main road and it just stopped on the road on a blind hill...one hell of a driving instructor Read Less

I wish I could share a more positive review but my experience with one of Debbie Lowdon's instructors made me leave and go elsewhere to complete my training. My instructor would constantly check her phone and not give me her full guidance. She would also use my horn and swear at other drivers on the road while I was learning. I think the final straw was when I was told to turn left on a test route, I turned left and then she was adamant she said "turn right". She was also due to retire and I feel that had an impact on her attitude in general. My wife recommended me to Debbie Lowdon and she actually had Debbie as her instructor - and she had a positive experience with her. I did not and was said that an instructor under Debbie's name would tarnish that name. Read Less
