Driving Lessons with David

Hi, I'm David, and I'm passionate about helping you become a confident and safe driver. With over 40 years of driving experience, I offer personalised and professional driving lessons in Bracknell and the surrounding areas. As a DVSA Approved Driving Instructor and a ROSPA Gold Advanced Driver (a standard I've maintained since I was 19, with re-testing every 4 years!), you can trust that you're learning from someone who truly understands the art of driving.

Whether you're a complete beginner, someone looking to refresh your skills after a break, or transitioning from automatic to manual, I'm here to help. I tailor my manual driving lessons to meet your individual needs and pace. Let's chat about creating a learning plan that works for you!

Your lessons

Service Areas

I proudly serve the following areas: Bracknell, Wokingham, Ascot, and their surrounding locales. Specifically, I cover postcodes RG12, RG40, RG41, RG42, RG45, and SL5.

Availability and Booking

Due to high demand, especially following the disruptions of the past few years, availability can be limited. Daytime slots may offer more immediate openings, while evening lessons are often booked several weeks in advance. I encourage you to contact me to discuss your schedule, as flexibility can often lead to earlier lesson times. Please note that I dedicate weekends to driving tests, and regular lessons are conducted during the week.

Personalised Instruction and Vehicle

Your lessons will take place in a modern, dual-controlled, air-conditioned Vauxhall Corsa, ensuring a comfortable and safe learning environment. I offer flexible lesson durations, including 1, 1.5, and 2-hour sessions, designed to fit your schedule and learning pace.

My teaching philosophy centers on making lessons enjoyable and effective, focusing on building your skills and confidence. While the DVSA recommends approximately 45 hours of professional training, I understand that each learner progresses at their own rate. I will provide personalised guidance on your estimated lesson needs after assessing your initial driving skills. Incorporating private practice alongside professional instruction can significantly enhance your learning experience and potentially reduce the overall number of lessons required.
