With previously having a years worth of lessons with a different instructor, I then found Can Drive. I decided to do a crash course with Wayne, as a result I passed with just seven lessons. I highly recommend, it was such a pleasure!

A MASSIVE THANK YOU, to Tony chell for helping me pass my test first time. I highly recommend him. Have had a bad experiences with other instructor in the past but Tony proved me that there is a better instructor out here and thats him. Without Tony I definitely wouldnt have passed my test. Keep up the good work Tony, just know that you are more than a great instructor. Be blessed for good work you do, and get more students passing! Thank you once again.

Couldn't recommend this driving school enough not had many lessons with Wayne as had previous lessons before but felt I wasn't getting anywhere, did a crash course with Wayne and passed 2nd time. He is a brilliant instructor made me feel at ease, had confidence in me when I didn't, spoke in a good tone of voice, didn't make me feel like I was scared to do it again & asks you if your happy or if you would like to do anything again, giving you plenty of choice and your own opinion. Takes you on plenty of different driving routes so not stuck to the same things all the time. And most of all makes learning to drive fun! Thanks Wayne at Can Drive for achieving something I've wanted for so long in such a short space of time.

Passed my test first time just over a week ago and cannot thank Wayne enough! He's such an amazing instructor who puts you at ease when driving and built my confidence a lot. I had previously been with another driving company and decided to change to can drive which is a decision I do not regret for one second, 100% recommend if you want good results on your test! Thank you Wayne

Definitely 1000% recommend Natalie, I had bad experiences before with previous instructors and never ever thought I'd pass my test as my confidence was rock bottom and I did and I can't thank her enough for her time, patience & knowledge she is "amazing". I've Neva felt so relaxed on a lesson as I did with Natalie it all seem to come together and my confidence grew and grew. Would recommend all day long!

Brilliant experience! Couldn't have asked for a better service! Never had a lesson cancelled or rearranged and my instructor was never late! Lessons were quickly progressive and beneficial and provided all the skills needed to drive safely and pass my test! In 26 hours I passed first time with no faults! Shows the quality of the lessons. Instructor was also friendly and could always have a laugh with him, highly recommend this driving school! Top class!

If I could've given 10 stars on this review page I would have done. Everything about Wayne the instructor was first class. From the way he spoke to you and relaxed you to the way he executed the lesson. I never thought I would get my driving license. Today I passed first time, and I do not think I could have had a better instructor to help get me across that line. From sitting in the car for the first time to getting out for the last time today I had a great time learning. I would strongly advise any person that is wanting to drive to learn with this company because they are first class. Thank you.
