Could anyone recommend anyone independant or a company, that's good in Leeds. I'm in Headingley.

I did mine with Shire Oak driving school - was pretty good, I passed first time with them - twas 4 years ago.
Average sort of pricing - not as dear as BSM but obviously not cheap either - no driving schools are cheap!
They are based in Headingley also.

Hope this helps - I have no other experiences of driving schools to tell you about - my mother passed 2nd time with BSM back in the early 90s, but that was clearly a loooong time ago.

hi there,
nice to here from you , hope you pass your test on the 17th january, am sure you feel that you are ready to take the test and got the practical skills needed to pass the test.
if i was picking a instructor i would choose an independent instructor. As far as having your instructor companing you in your test its how you feel.

If you're still looking I can't recommend Damien Heaney highly enough.He covers most of the Leeds area I think. Pop his name or 'Heaney Driving' into google and you should find him. If not feel free to inbox me and I'll give you his contact details. I originally tried learning to drive years ago and really struggled but when I came back to it again and found Damien he really boosted my confidence and got me through my test with ease!

EDIT: Just re-read the previous responses and realised you're sorted. Good Luck! And for anyone else who sees this maybe my info will still be of use!

Wouldn't go near BSM. They kept changing my lessons without telling me and then tried to charge me for lessons they knew i couldn't do because I didn't have anyone to look after my daughter.

In the end Darren at the driving school helped me pass in an automatic but they have other instructors. http://www.systemdrive.co.uk/ is the website - best thing was the intensive courses

I learnt with an independent instructor in Headingley. Zest Driving School, a guy called Dave. Very calm, professional, and had a cracking little car (Skoda Fabia vRS). I liked it so much I eventually got one myself :biggrin:
