DRIVING LESSONS
CHICHESTER & SURROUNDING AREAS
I am a very calm, patient and reliable, independent and fully qualified DSA Grade 5 Approved Driving Instructor with a pass rate which is consistently higher than the national average (see table below). I hold the ROSPA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents) Gold Grade for Advanced Driving and am their area examiner for West Sussex.
Lessons take place in an up-to-date, air-conditioned Mitsubishi Colt 1.3 Equippe fitted with dual controls and anti-lock brakes. Its fully adjustable seat and steering wheel means it is suitable for pupils of any height.

RINGING AROUND?
Six questions to ask driving schools:
- Will I be taught by a fully qualified instructor or a trainee? (Tip: trainees will be displaying a pink trainee instructor licence on their windscreen)
- What grade did the instructor achieve on their last DSA check test and when was it taken? (Tip: grade 5 and 6 are best - and the more recent the check test, the more reliable the grading)
- What is the instructor's current pass rate for a) all tests; b) first-time tests? (Tip: national pass rate is currently approximately 43%)
- What other qualifications does the instructor hold? (Tip: make sure it's a bona fide qualification)
- What car is used and how old is it? (Tip: you want to be learning to drive in a reliable, easily-handled modern vehicle)
- Will I be asked to pay extra to use the car for my driving test? (Tip: charges vary and you could be asked for up to £50 - pupils who've been learning with me will pay usual lesson rates for their test)
