Learning to drive with Dave was a thoroughly positive experience. Dave is highly professional, responding to queries in a timely manner and is able to signpost prospective clients to other/any resources they might need. I always found Dave to be cheery, he is soon like a friend as opposed to instructor. Dave is an excellent choice for those nervous about learning to drive, always putting you at ease. He has the ability to transfer these skills regardless of age/sex or social ...standing. I would also suggest Dave to be an excellent choice for those who have failed before or wanting to change instructor. I took one of Dave's intensive courses. This was at a very competitive price and Dave made every effort to fit my demands in amongst his schedule. He organised test dates etc and never lost confidence in me which I found very empowering! His ability to merge safety and safe, competent driving is sexing to none. One word of warning - he's a chatty soul . If Dave Pickford can get an older, nervous, failed before in a manual car, mad lady like myself to be a competent driver in a short space of time, I'd suggest he can help you. Go for it, it's changed my life - thanks Mr P! See More Read Less
