After trying other driving instructors I finally found Gary, after a short period of lessons with Gary I’ve learnt so much more, I’ve gained confidence and he’s so patient and calm, lots of helpful tools to help me get through, and I passed with him first time!

Before coming to Gary I failed my test 4 times in a manual - Gary has a lot to work through with me and he did it all with understanding and a boat load of patience and he got me through my test finally! He's an amazing teacher, makes everything make sense and doesn't give up on you. Highly recommend!

I can't thank Gary enough! As a very nervous driver, I often doubted myself, but Gary's patience, encouragement, and calm approach helped me build my confidence every step of the way. Gary made me feel comfortable and explained everything clearly. Thanks to Gary, I passed my driving test first time! I would highly recommend Gary as a driving instructor, especially to nervous drivers. Thanks so much Gary, I couldn't have done it without you! 🚗

After driving on and off for what feels like forever I started with Gary October last year, Gary was brilliant in every aspect, providing videos of the tricky areas to practice and being a fantastic encouraging instructor. I can’t thank Gary enough! Passed first time with 2 minors, THANK YOU!!

I passed my driving test today and I honestly couldn’t have done it without my instructor!
When I first started, I definitely wasn’t the best driver, but he was so patient and always made me feel calm and relaxed behind the wheel. He explained everything clearly, never rushed me, and kept things positive the whole time.
Not only a brilliant instructor but also really friendly and funny , which made every lesson enjoyable for a person who didn’t enjoy lessons 😅
I’d highly recommend him to anyone thinking about learning to drive. Thank you again!

Passed my driving test first time with Gary today, absolutely fantastic instructor and just an all round top bloke.
If your looking for a very experienced instructor who makes you feel at ease on every lesson Gary is definitely the man for the job.
Even if your not local which I’m not, Road King will give you confidence to pass first time.
Thanks again Gary.

Gary is a top bloke, the most patient and friendly instructor I could have asked for. Really enjoyed every lesson with him and had a good laugh every time. Everybody I know that has had lessons with him passed on their first attempt.

I found Road king school of motoring on google like most of you will. I can honestly say that I am glad I chose him to do my driving lessons with. Gary is very friendly, patient and has good crack. There was never a dull lesson with him. I would without a doubt recommend Gary to anyone learning to drive. Thank you Gary for all your help.
