Poor Experiences with Local Driving School
Several reviewers have had negative experiences with Local Driving School, citing poor teaching methods and unprofessional behaviour from their instructors.
Inconsistency and Lack of Progress
Many students reported feeling frustrated with the lack of progress in their lessons. Katie Gratton, who passed her test in November 2023, claimed that her instructor only taught her what he wanted and didn't cover the areas she needed to work on. Baie, another reviewer, stated that despite learning parallel parking twice, they never ventured onto college roundabouts or practised test routes. Philip Strutt, who failed multiple tests, felt ignored by his instructor for several months, resulting in wasted time and money.
Unreliable Booking and Communication
Inconsistent scheduling and lack of communication were major issues for many students. Philip Strutt waited nearly a year for an instructor and after passing the first test, was left unattended for five months before the next test. Martin France's instructor did not follow up on their progress, causing frustration and doubt about the school's reliability.
Positive Reviews: A Rare Occurrence
In contrast, two reviewers, Mike France and Samantha Jacks, had positive experiences with the school. Mike praised his instructor, Martin, for being patient and helpful, while Samantha credited her instructor, Steve, for his encouragement and support, which led to her passing both the theory and driving tests first time.
