Hi ya Dan. The lessons were awesome you didn’t just teach me what to do but why we do it and when which was great. I felt nervous before my test and speechless afterwards! You helped me by not putting my under any pressure and reminding me it wasn’t the end of the world if I failed. I love the freedom of driving.![]()

Before my lessons started I had nearly ruled out driving altogether but since starting my driving lessons with Gold a few months ago. I feel like I have grown both in confidence & knowledge with my driving and in this short amount of time I have been able to pass my theory test with my instructors help. I now feel positive about passing my practical driving test because my lessons are carried out in a comfortable and friendly atmosphere and I am learning at my own pace.![]()

Just a quick note to say a big thankyou for getting our children through the driving test. Jamie was so excited when he got home, I don’t think I have seen him smile so much. We will be recommending you to all our friends keep the good work up.![]()

Steve was my second driving instructor as I had a few problems with my first due to poor punctuality and the fact that I felt my lessons were not really progressing. Due to this I had a lack of confidence with my driving, however Steve soon built up my confidence and was extremely patient when i made mistakes (which I did a lot of the time!) and willingly went oven manoeuvres over and over again when I needed. I have now passed my test , and I enjoyed my lessons with Steve and felt that he helped me progress quickly.![]()

Having on previous occasions tried to learn through other Instructors and driving schools, it was with good fortune that I finally found a tutor with whom I could make real progress. With a relaxed but focused atmosphere, I soon found myself gaining the much needed confidence and experience that would enable me to pass my driving test. Having now been on the roads for the last few months, I can honestly say that thanks to Steve's teaching, I consider myself to be a better driver than most of the drivers on the road. Thank's Steve!![]()

Steve was recommended to me by my cousin, and she passed first time having trained with Steve. My Instructor at the time was always late. So, I changed to Steve and I’m really pleased I did. He is never late, is really easy to get on with and has a great sense of humor. I am very dyslectic. My girlfriend helped to write this, but in addition Steve has been helping with Theory revision, and his patience is unending. So calm and chilled out.![]()

I would recommend anyone to learn to drive with Steve Crawford, he is a very good instructor and is patient and easy to get along with. Thanks to Steve I managed to pass my driving test first time without any minors.![]()

I can't thank Steve enough for all the help he gave me with my driving! He made driving lessons feel comfortable and fun rather than scary and embarrassing. Thanks to him I managed to fly through my theory test with a mark of 49 out of 50, and I passed my practical test first time with only 3 minors! I'd recommend Steve to anyone who wants to learn to drive with not only a brilliant driving instructor, but also a good friend. - Thanks for everything Steve!![]()
