My driving instructor was Mohammed Rashid. I took lessons with him almost every week until April. He was very, very slow to progress me, stating he felt I wasn't ready every time I asked to move on to different things. I noticed he is a very impatient teacher with a short temper who put me under pressure almost every lesson. I spent almost 10 months in quiet roads. I never drive on dual carriageways, no manoeuvres, never teach me how to use 4th and 5th gear. I was feeling like I am not getting closer to my test. Every lesson just seemed to be the same thing over and over again and it became extremely frustrating. He was always arriving late for lessons but ending lessons on time. Sometimes by as much as 20 minutes. I received a very poor service. My next experience proved to me it only takes a few months maximum with a good instructor to pass. I eventually switched instructor. This new instructor was absolutely brilliant. After two months of lessons with him, practicing several routes, he deemed me ready for the test and I passed in my first attempt. In conclusion, I admit it was my fault for being patient for so long, but I can't take it back now and can only warn that you stay away yourself.Moreexpand_more
Response : Thank you for your review. As the owner of this driving school I was very unhappy to hear of your experience when you were taking driving lessons with one of our instructors. I personally trained Mohammed to be a driving instructor and he did very well in his exams. I also regularly sit in on my instructors lessons to monitor the progress and quality of the lessons that my instructors give. Did you express any concerns that you had at the time you were taking lessons? Any issues could then maybe have been resolved at an early stage.
