Now, at first I was not going to complain about this "company" (it's one guy, not a "team"), but after having my first lesson with a qualified instructor, I HAVE to warn others about this driving school. At first, I noticed the instructor was quite blunt, but I brushed this off as I wanted to give him a chance as this may be his method. Keeping in mind I was fairly new to driving, I was threw into the deep end and on the road immediately. My instructor was rude, uninformati...ve and frankly mean. If I were to do something wrong, whether it's the wrong lane or gear, he would make me jump by snapping at me. If I wasn't being snapped at, he'd mumble under his breath so I couldn't hear, and then shout it if I asked him to speak up. I also noticed snickering every now and then, but never asked if this was intentional or just some sound he makes. On one lesson, he had me drive around a block multiple times. He then got out his phone, and was speaking to an estate agent about a house on the street I was driving around!! I've also had him reading the frigging newspaper while I'm driving, then shout at me and yank the steering wheel if I'm in the wrong lane, yet he was the one paying no attention to what I was doing. Despite all this, I stuck through my bulk lessons and had a total of 12 hours. I then told him I didn't want any further lessons and would be getting a crash course, as I told him MULTIPLE times I wanted 2 lessons a week, to which he agreed to and NEVER let me take more than 1 a week (sometimes every 2 weeks, and I had no say) I today had my first lesson on my crash course, and have found out my prev instructor missed out vital, basic lessons which should have been taught in lesson 1. He has also taught me how to do my manoeuvres completely wrong, and never taught me the dangers of coasting and how to not do it. I'm frankly surprised I hadn't crashed under his supervision. I also find it hilarious that 3 of his reviews are fake Facebook accounts, who all posted on the same day. I was not going to take any action on this as I wanted to forget about it, but after a discussion with my current instructor I am now going to complain to the DSA, as I believe no one should have to learn how to drive from someone who gives less of a rats ass whether he's doing it correctly or not.
