Thank you for visiting my web site. I hope that you find all the information that you need to take the first step towards getting on the road!I operate a Driving school in and around the area of Southampton.

It is fully Dual controlled for your safety, manual Transmission and has a height adjustable Steering Wheel and driver's seat. Other Features include: ABS brakes and Power Steering.

I cater for people of all Driving abilities from complete beginner, to the more experienced driver, either looking to regain confidence behind the wheel, or perhaps, needing to take (or retake )your Driving test. Maybe for the 1st time in this Country ( if you hold a foreign licence.) click here for info about foreign licences and whether you need to take the test. ( in most cases your licence is only valid for 1 year from when you first entered the Country, then you will need to take the UK tests)
