After failing my first test in June 2025, with a different driving school. I was recommended Steve Mansell driving. After having a call with steve (while he was on holiday). He set me up with Kev. From the very first lesson, Kev put me at ease, very friendly, supportive. He really boosted my confidence from rock bottom, as previous instructor left me in dark. Kev is reliable, extremely helpful with lessons. Kev makes it that comfortable, its like driving with a mate, never a dull lesson. I highly recommend Kev, hes a top bloke.
