James didn't think he had passed!
James is training to be a journalist and recently completed his driving test. On his first attempt, he was pleasantly surprised to find out that he passed with only two faults, despite believing he had failed. His instructor, Peter, guided him throughout the process, helping to build his confidence. James felt a great sense of pride in his achievement, knowing that his hard work and dedication had paid off. This milestone not only represents a personal victory but also a significant step in his journey toward becoming an independent driver.
A Wonderful Achievement for Aaron!
Aaron's journey over the past four years has been nothing short of extraordinary. Following a life-changing car accident caused by speeding, he faced significant physical challenges that required him to rethink his approach to driving. With his licence suspended, Aaron knew he had to acquire new skills tailored to his needs.
Today, weeks of really hard effort and commitment followed by an intensive assessment, he has successfully regained his driving licence. His determination throughout this process has been remarkable, showcasing an unwavering commitment to overcoming obstacles that many would find insurmountable. His efforts have been the hardest seen in a student, setting a standard of resilience and perseverance.
We are extremely proud of Aaron's achievement. This milestone not only signifies his return to driving but also marks a powerful testament to his character and dedication.

Nigel's review
Andy is a fantastic instructor, his years of driving experience make him a natural at teaching. As an American who learned to drive on the other side, his instructions helped me feel confident learning to do everything opposite of what I grew up with. Thanks to his teaching I am a much more confident driver.

Another 5 Star Review for Kevin
Kev’s review read…
Kevin was an absolutely amazing instructor. I've had 2 past Instructors which I didnt feel confident with at all and any mistakes I made were looked down upon. However with Kevin my mistakes turned into great lessons which helped me improve by miles.
We had good conversations and experiences whilst I was learning to drive and I felt as if I could reach out whenever I needed help.
When it came to the test, just like Kevin said I would, I passed with no faults.
Would definitely recommend Only Automatic to everyone.
Laura passes at the first attempt! And she's over the moon 🌝
