I done an intensive course with Bal. I want to thank him for helping me to pass my test, when I went to him I was making a lot of errors due to my past experience.

Can’t believe you’re actually teaching other people to drive. I sat in the outside lane for miles behind you at 65mph while there’s clearly empty middle and inside lane. Maybe check the Highway Code - “keep in the left lane unless overtaking” You weren’t overtaking anything…. Just stopping other people from coming past you. Read Less

I booked my driving course with OneWeekDrivingSpecialist on a manual and was insistent on doing this. I was then advised to change to auto which I didn’t really want to do however I should have taken this advice much earlier. Very grateful for the help given to me on my driving as it wasn’t something I took to well. I’m thankful for Bal’s tough love and I strongly reccomend coming to Bal to pass your test, so honest and sorted me out with quickly.
He’ll help sort you a test date quickly as well and helped me pass quickly first time! Thanks Bal! Read Less

I pulled into a BP garage to put some air in my tyres, it took me 30 seconds to get out of my vehicle so I could tell the car on the on screens settings what PSI to set to, 10 seconds later, this driving instructor in a black VW with a student in the driving seat started beeping at me and telling me to hurry up.
I carried on putting the air into my tyres and then he starts waving his hands at me. He then gestures me to come to his window and then denies beeping his horn at me, (all captured on Dashcam) I asked why he beeped at me and he said because his student has a driving test shortly which is not my problem. Be more prepared, after all, you are a driving instructor so you should know how to be patient. Great way to show your students to be on the road by rushing people and telling them to hurry up. Do not even attempt to deny this otherwise I will upload the footage and send it to the DVSA also your reg plate is on full view with your company details on the dashcam footage hence why I was able to leave this review.
Also this individual driving instructor then asks why people are annoyed with him after he started the problem. He is very patronising and sarcastic. This was also witnessed by another member of the public whom noticed me via my number and seen what he was doing as the witness knows me.
You should prepare your vehicle yourself and making sure it is ready and fit for purpose before you take a student on driving lessons and taking them for their driving tests.
Be prepared and be patient next time. I also had a major panic attack after this due to your actions. Read Less
