"I was pleased to have passed my Driving Test and such a relief as I had recently purchased a car and keen to get it on the road to gain that independance.

Many of my friends had taken lessons and passed with Sam, so I thought it was the sensible option to follow suit, which reflecting back was the right decision. Thanks Sam..."
"I over came my fears of driving with Sam at Smiles Driving and I cannot express how thankful I am. To be able to pass my Driving Test
FIRST TIME and with only just 2 DF's is such an amazing feeling and I am still in disbelief. Driving was never easy for me and I started to learn when I was 17 years old, with a handful of lessons. Unfortunately, I disliked it so much and found it stressful, so decided not to continue. Five years later, I did it!!!"
