About Dale's Automatic Driving School


My name is Dale Richardson, I teach people to drive in a BMW 1 Automatic. I help people who have struggled with the clucth and gears. My car is very easy to drive, please feel free to contact me if you would like to learn to drive an automatic vehicle.

The area I cover is ST1, ST2, ST6. My car has front and rear cameras which film the outside of the car, I use these videos within the lessons to help you learn and understand different junctions around Stoke on Trent.

I love to teach learners like you how to reverse and deal with the busy junctions around Stoke on Trent like Porthill roundabout. If you have failed your driving test feel free to contact myself to arrange an asserment.

I passed my driving test today on my first attempt with only 2 driving faults, all thanks to Dale at Dale’s Automatic Driver Training! Dale is an incredibly patient, calm, and knowledgeable instructor who made me feel confident behind the wheel from day one. His clear explanations, useful tips, and focus on safe driving really helped everything click for me. Every lesson felt productive and well-paced, and he always believed in me - even when I had doubts.

I passed my driving test today with only 3 driving faults and on my first attempt! I’m absolutely over the moon! Learning to drive felt like a big step, but having Dale as my instructor made all the difference. From day one, he was calm, friendly, and incredibly patient - exactly what I needed to feel at ease behind the wheel. I learned in an automatic electric car, which was a great experience. Dale explained everything clearly and made sure I understood not just how to drive, but how to do it confidently and safely. His attention to detail and encouragement really helped me grow over time. Massive thanks to Dale for all the support and expert guidance. I couldn’t have done it without you!

He’s incredibly patient, explains everything clearly, and always stayed calm even when I was nervous or made mistakes. The car was easy to drive, and the lessons were structured in a way that helped me build my skills step by step. Dale didn’t just teach me to pass the test – he taught me how to be a safe, confident driver for life. I’d 100% recommend him to anyone looking to learn in an automatic car. Thank you so much, Dale! .

I can’t recommend Dale highly enough! After a bad experience with a previous instructor, I was nervous and unsure about driving, but Dale completely turned things around for me. He is incredibly patient, calm, and understanding, which made all the difference. His clear explanations and tailored approach helped me regain my confidence and improve my skills. Dale never rushed me and always encouraged me to focus on progress, not perfection. Thanks to his expert guidance, I passed my test and finally feel confident behind the wheel. If you’re looking for an instructor who genuinely cares and knows how to bring out the best in you, Dale is the one!

Woohoo! Nailed it today, despite a few minor hiccups. I'm super stoked to finally have that licence in hand. Big thanks to Dale for the awesome instruction and keeping me calm. Four driving faults? Pfft, who's counting! Freedom here I come, open road and endless possibilities. Time to cruise with the windows down and the music blasting. Thank you Dale.

Dale has been great! I’ve always been a nervous passenger and tried some manual lessons a few years ago, but I was terrified at the wheel and couldn’t get my head around it. I decided to try again and as an older leaner (30’s) and with the past attempt I was nervous and felt a little embarrassed to be learning at my age. Dale was kind, patient and took each lesson as slowly as I needed. As my confidence started to build Dale pushed my boundaries more each lesson, which was what I needed. Passed on my first attempt with 2 faults ? Thank you so much for the freedom!

Passed my test today with Dale. Dale has been brilliant, I joined having been very anxious from previous driving experience but from day 1 Dale has kept me calmer than I ever thought I’d be, always himself keeping calm and reassuring even if I did something silly or forgot something. Fully recommend Dale to anyone looking for an automatic driving instructor.
