Sharon Riggs2025-07-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The best driving school around and the best instructor. I was taught by Scott who is genuinely a nice guy. He always made me feel relaxed and comfortable whilst driving and explained everything in an easy way and was happy to explain things again and again if needed. He soon became more of a friend and a really good listener rather than a driving instructor. If you are looking to take automatic lessons then look no further. I started lessons in November and I passed first time 8 months later. Carly Webb-Coates2025-05-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Passed today with only 1 minor after taking lessons with Scott for a year. Very happy, highly recommend to everyone! Yazmin Boyer2025-02-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t recommend Scott at Scottie’s Driving School enough! From the very first lesson, he made me feel at ease behind the wheel. He is very patient, knowledgeable, and takes the time to explain things clearly. I was a bit nervous at first, but Scott’s calm and encouraging approach helped me build confidence quickly. The lessons were always focused and productive, but we also had a laugh along the way, which made the whole experience more enjoyable. The best driving instructor by far! Thanks again Scott! ☺️ J C2025-02-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had an amazing experience at Scottie's Driving School!
