I retired from Hertfordshire Constabulary after 30years service. I was a Police Constable and then a Sergeant on the Road Policing Unit gaining 23 years experience of dealing with the causes and the subsequent consequences of serious and fatal collisions across Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire. I have attended many schools, delivering road safety advice and working closely alongside the various Road Safety Units. I have also featured in the BBC Traffic Cops TV series. The move into driving instruction is a natural progression, allowing me to share the knowledge and experience that I have gained whilst being a Traffic Police Officer; my ultimate aim being to promote 'safe driving for life.'

Neil has been great throughout my driving lessons. He's very informative and very patient. Not only has he taught me to just pass my test, but also how to be safe on the road and in everyday life.

Although I was able to reverse a trailer, I needed to take the test and can honestly say I would never have passed without Neil's tuition. He is a nice, friendly man whose help I couldn't have done without! I passed first time which is fantastic although I am apparently now a full time groom for my wife!
