I would like to say thank you for all your efforts in helping me to pass my driving test first time,I think its really down to the way I was tutored by my instructor and how he kept reassuring me that I could pass in under 3 weeks on an intensive course.

I am definitely pleased to say I did pass and all reservations I had at the beginning had all gone after the first lesson. I would definitely recommend The Right Attitude driving school to anyone looking to pass their test quickly.

Thanks Guys and keep up the good work.

I'm probably way older than the average learner driver and certainly wasn't a natural. I'd tried other schools and instructors previously. I'd never enjoyed learning and found it a very difficult process.

with Richard, I always enjoyed and looked forward to my lessons and felt relaxed and safe. Richard never got annoyed and was always good humoured.
one of the best things about Richard is the range of driving experiences he offers through his lessons - with other schools, I'd drive round the same old housing estates and got bored and frustrated. with Richard, I drove all over Maidstone and even to Hastings and back.
Because of Richards way of teaching I now feel a much more competent and confident driver, Gaining valuable experience as a result.

I passed my test this week and will certainly take a pass plus course with Richard. I would certainly recommend Richard to any other hesitant/nervous, previously failed and frustrated drivers like me!

Now that I have taken, and passed, my driving test I have a chance to reflect on the last two weeks. My opinion of Richard hasn’t changed at all in this time. Richard has a great sense of perception and I feel that this is represented in his high success rate. Richard hugely out performs the market as a whole in terms of pass rate (industry average of less than 50% of all test taken, compared to over 60% first time pass rate for Richard) yet I don’t feel this tells the whole story. Richard often tells his pupils that he won’t teach them to just pass the test but he teaches them to be good, safe drivers. This, I think, is helped by his encyclopaedic knowledge of driving. Able to drive many different sorts of vehicles, Richard can educate his students not just on their own vehicle but how vehicles interact together on the road. All of this is done in a refreshing way and I can promise that it doesn’t feel like being back in the classroom! If Richard can get me through the driving test in two weeks then he can probably do the same for anyone, though it may be less depending on your passed driving experience, book well in advance as he is a busy man.

I was initially very nervous about paying a large sum of money in one go to an instructor, especially seeing as I had problems with a previous instructor but after my assessment session with Richard all my fears were allayed. Richard is a very easy going instructor who has an ability to tailor instruction to individual needs. Clear and concise instruction really helps to make a difference to your driving. After one lesson Richard commented on how my driving had improved but he deserved all the credit. Richard will let a driver take things at their own pace but is very adaptable and if you master something or have additional needs then his program takes this into account. Probably the most important thing is that he is very accommodating. Richard tries his hardest to put the student at ease by creating an environment whereby it is easy to relax and concentrate on the task in hand. All in all I really couldn’t praise him enough as he has made such a difference to my driving in such a short space of time. If you’re having any doubts about who to go for, Richard is your man.

2 weeks ago I did my pass plus. It was great. Extremaly helpful and I recommend everyone who pass their driving test to go ahead and do it, as you will learn so much and will gain so much more confidence when driving on motorways and country lanes, plus is really great day out in Brighton, especially when the wheather is nice. What is more, you can get a large discount on you car insurance once you complete the course.

2 tygodnie temu przeszlam kurs "Pass Plus". Jest to swietna sprawa. Bardzo pomocne i polecam kazdemu, kto zdal pomyslnie egzamin praktyczny, iz nie tylko otrzymacie znizke na ubezpieczenia, ale rowniez poczujecie sie duzo pewniejsi podczas jazdy i otrztmacie pelno bardzo waznych i pomocnych wskazowek w poruszaniu sie na autostradzie. Nie wahajcie sie ani minuty

I have to thank Richard for not only his training and teaching me to drive but for changing my life completely, Before I learnt to drive I used my push-bike everywhere.

Since learning to drive I now have so much time on my hands, My social life is great, I got a new job and a pay rise all because I can now drive.

The Money I spent on learning to drive I made back in the increase in wages in the first month of my new job.

Learning to drive is not just about being able to drive a car, it's about having a skill for life that could change your life for good, I Did.
You can too,
Call Richard today to jump start your new life.

Dear Richard I would just like to let you know that even though its raining hard outside, I'm lovely and warm in my New car seat in the back of mums New car instead of being stuck in my cold wet push-chair with a horrorible plastic cover waiting at the bus stop waiting with mum for the bus that takes ages to take me to play school.

Mum Says it's all down to you because your the best Driving instructor in the world , I'm not sure what a Driving instrutor is All I know is I get to spend more time playing at school so your the best to me.

Love Ryan aged 3 3/4 .

"Nauka jazdy w The Right Attitude byla ogromna przyjemnoscia. Zawsze czekalam na kolejna lekcje. Lekcje prowadzone byly profesjonalnie, bez stresowo i na wysokim standardzie. Jesli chodzi o jezyk to nie bylo najmniejszego problemu i polecam lekcje w jezyku angielskim, jesli zamierzacie jezdzic po Wielkiej Brytanii, iz moim zdaniem jest to wielka pomoc i ulatwia poznawanie przepisow. Ja zdalam teorie i praktyke za pierwszym razem, dlatego tez polecam The Right Attitude bez wahania."

" I have enjoyed learning to drive a lot. I always looked forward to next lesson. It has never been stressful even if I did something wrong, it was always explained and shown to me until I was fully satisfied and sure of what I am doing. The great thing was that you always get an email and txt with reminder of your lesson and you can book a lesson in advance online. I would recommend The Right Attitude Driving School to anyone with no reservations if you wish to pass your test for the first time, like I did."

Passed 1st Time

I had real trouble passing my theory test, But I had no problems with my practical test thanks to Richard He was so Amazing, So helpful, Always cheerful and we always had a good laugh in our lesson. Richard made me feel more like a friend instead of a pupil, he had so much time for me ,quite often we went over the lesson time but Richard never left me until I understood what we were learning that day. My mum says you need a medal for putting up with me. Thanks Rich for everything I couldn't have got through it without you. Darren

The Right Attitude driving school really has the right attitude, Richard was Amazing, He set a pace for my training that suited me he worked around my football and other comitments, He knew when to encourage me and when to push me to fullfill my driving skills, I went to test believing I could pass 1st time and I did. I'm now the proud owner of a pink licence, Shame about the colour though. All the Best Richard you one in a million.

David V
Passed 1st Time

Richard was an amazing driving instructor, after being let down by another company he got me straight up to test speed within a matter of days, needless to say I passed with only one minor which was questionable anyway! so thanks again Richard, I advice anyone wanting to learn to drive to book their lessons with you, they'd be fools to try any other instructor! cheers mate!

Thomas H
Passed 1st Time

I was a little scared before I started my driving course, I wondered if I had selected the correct course and chosen the best driving school for me. Within 10 minutes of being in the car with Richard I knew I had. After completing my course I went to test and passed first time. Richard gave me the confidence and belief I could do it. When the examiner told me I'd passed it was the best feeling in the world. Richard is a great Instructor I would recommend him to everyone.
