The only way, is the smart way!! THANK YOU!

After being a learner driver for more than 20 years on and off and overall lessons was about 35. I gave up for a while, and just got car for going out with my brother sitting by my side so I could learn. I used other schools, but nothing like this one. I got instructed by Zaher which I had about 9 or 10 lessons with. Zaher was very professional and kept me right all the time. He told me he worked through the smart way driving school. So after all that I sat my Practical test on Wednesday the...

I was an incredibly nervous learner and Colin Slight was so patient and understanding. He got me through my test first time with 2 minors. Colin was very accommodating of my busy schedule and is such a genuinely nice guy. Cannot recommend him highly enough!

I would recommend Colin tait at the smart way driving school, Colin had the patients with me to get me through my theory test first time and my practical test first time :-) he made me feel confident beside the wheel and was very understanding with my busy schedule and made the time for me, I had no previous experience behind the wheel but then I met Colin he is so professional and I highly recommend him, thanks again Colin.

I can\'t recommend \'The Smart Way\' enough, I was let down by another instructor and needed lots of lessons quick. Ray understood the situation and did some rejiging with our calanders and got me in, he was so patient and understanding, he really focuses on his students being safe confident drivers, not just passing a test! (Although thanks to his tuition and encouragement I did with 2 minors!).

After my cousin had lessons with Ray he recommended him to me. I am very happy that I decided to go with Ray as he is a very patient driving instructor. Because of the nature of my job I found that lessons needed to be cancelled at the last minute. Ray was very understanding and acommodated this well. Thanks Ray for getting me through my test. My son is now talking about lessons and there is no question about who he will going with. See you soon Ray.

I passed my test a week ago first time with 2 minors all thanks to Mandy.

She is an excellent teacher who takes the time to explain everything to you. She doesn\'t rush you and she is generally a lovely person so it makes lessons relaxed and comfortable for the learner.

Thank you for everything Mandy - I couldn\'t have done it without you.

Mandy... What can I say about Mandy...

Well she is the only reason I passed my test!
I used to say that Mandy was my Councillor as well as Driving Instructor. She is such a kind honest hard working person.

Throughout the course of my lessons I often heard of students coming on board with Mandy with their horror stories from other instructors in West Lothian which was frightening really! Why bother going through all that - go to Mandy first.

Her way of...

5-Star! Ray is an excellent instructor, through his practical lessons and the worksheets given which help with the theory test as well. After a few lessons I felt confident in my own driving with Ray\'s guidance and I would definitely recommend Ray to anyone wanting to learn to drive. Thanks for everything!

I just passed my driving test this afternoon! Ray has been an inspiration to me, after the instructor from hell, I thought about giving up until I found Ray. He doesn\'t have \'attitude\', he doesn\'t preach, he just inspires confidence, shows you how easy it is, he\'s very laid back and its been a joy to have had him as an instructor he\'s really one in a million. A HUGE, BIG, thank you.
I couldn\'t have done it without him.

The Smart way is an absolutely tremendous driving school. As someone who get nervous leading up to the test I found this hard to overcome. But through Ray\'s Patience and my own determination I have today finally managed to achieve my much desired licence. I can\'t thank Ray enough and would easily recommend him or the smart way to any new driver. Thank you so much for your help !.

Ray has worked hard to provide me with straight lessons so I can be ready for my driving test. I did pass. Thanks ray. Driving alone had been a bit scary. But ray\'s teaching has stuck in my mind. I feel like I have the tools to be a safe driver.

Would like to say a big thank you to Ray Lynch for all his hard work as I have recently passed my driving test!!!

I was having lessons with a well known driving school, but I felt that I was not getting anywhere fast and my instructor at the time did not have the best of attitudes. As a result of that my confidence level dropped and I really wanted to give up learning to drive.
I then found the smart way driving school and after just one lesson with Ray my confidence was back...

MASSIVE thanks to Ray Lynch. Recently passed my driving test. Previous driving instructor was grumpy to say the least, but Ray helped me pass my driving test with Flying colours and 1st time!!!! Not only is he very patient but has a good sense of humour and his method of teaching was brilliant. My aim was to pass my test within 3/4 months of starting lessons with Ray and I was more than ready by this time! He also accommodated me with lesson times as I worked from early to late - he was very...

A very big thank you to Ray Lynch who managed to help me pass my test. Had 6 previous instructors and 3 accidents. My confidence was very low. Ray was patient, friendly and showed me that manoeuvres were in fact very easy. I past my test first time which was amazing for a nervous learner driver like me. Well done Ray.

Ray is an awesome driving instructor. Not only is he technically brilliant he is also an excellent teacher who really understands how to take care of his students and get the best out of them.

Before I started with Ray I had tried to learn to drive with various other instructing schools but none of them even come close to the standard of Ray.

Ray really is the best driving instructor you can possibly have, it\'s as simple as that :).

Started taking lessons with Colin on 15th Febuary taking 3 lessons a week. Passed test on 5th April. Colin was an amazing instructor and very good in his instruction. I recommend the Smart Way fully to anyone who wishes to learn to drive.

Great results with Ray; his style of teaching is relaxed but focused. Excellent way of teaching maneuvers with markers. His emphasis is initially on the main safety aspects of driving and he introduces the finer points as you progress. This allows you to build confidence. The Smart Four-Four car (automatic) is a bit clunky, as compared to say a Ford Fiesta (automatic). That being said, I will be buying a Smart Four-Two, now that I have my license!

Ray was recommended to me by another driving instructor as i was intentionally going to test for my automatic licence, after changing my mind i stayed with Ray for my full licence for which i have to commend him on his approach, manner and professional way of teaching, at times it felt more of a social get together than a lesson as we could converse all day like a couple of old yins but i passed first time and only after around 7 lessons with previous driving experience so no matter how i was...

Ray is a very friendly and approachable instructor who has the best interest of the student at all times. When in the car with him I felt confident and safe. The instructions he gave were backed up with information sheets after lesson to reinforce the knowledge gained. I would highly recommend Ray to anyone thinking about learning to drive. He does not only teach you how to pass your test but prepare you for life driving on the roads thereafter.
