Having driven for 15 years I thought passing the driving test would be very easy. As a result I left it to the last minute. After my first assessment lesson I found out that there were quite a few things I needed to work on. "With my background, it shouldn't be difficult", I said to myself. But very soon I realized that it is very hard to change old habits and it was taking much longer than I had anticipated. My license was running out and I needed the car for the school runs. I was frustrated. I wanted to give up. But my instructor was very patient and sympathetic. He kept on encouraging and motivating me. He gave me extra time. Due to his thorough instructions, everything started to make sense. After a few weeks of hard work, I passed with only 4 minor faults - the first time. I thank him from the bottom of my heart, as he taught me to be a SAFER Driver!

I had been with another driving school for a long while. I had failed twice. I wasn't getting anywhere. I thought of getting a second opinion, so I booked an assessment lesson with Nadeem. His mannerism and honesty made me book more lessons with him. As I am a student, I could not afford many lessons. But for the first time, after every lesson I felt money worth spent. Soon I was ready for a test and then the day came when I passed my test with a very high pass mark. I could not have done it without him.

I can't thank you enough for helping me to pass. I know people say it is down to the learner, but credit must also go to you. As I see it, learning to drive is a partnership. You have taught me how to be a safe and conscious driver (and also how to pass the test), which I am determined not to forget. Touch wood, I haven't come anywhere close to an accident.

With Smart Driving it was not only about passing the driving test, it was about becoming a skilled and safe driver. My bad habits that I picked up have now almost disappeared. Today I passed my practical test with only three mistakes, despite the fact that the examiner took me through the most difficult test route. I am now planning to go one step further and do the pass plus course with Smart Driving.

I found learning to drive difficult and often wondered how my instructor was always able to stay calm and not ever get angry especially when I would get angry myself. He has the patience of a saint.
