What Do Our Students Think?
Lauren Hudson
After learning to drive on and off for 2 years and never being confident behind the wheel, I’m so happy I found optimus drive a few months ago. Dave and Steph are absolutely amazing at what they do, Steph is amazing behind the phone From booking all the lessons in and your test, even finding cancellations and getting you in sooner. Dave makes lessons fun and I was always excited for my driving lessons, he makes you feel so calm and comfortable behind the wheel. Would 100% recommend.

Lynsey Beattie
Thank you so much to Dave and Steph on helping me on the way to my freedom, they believed in me the whole time and were so patient. I would highly recommend them for anyone wanting to learn to drive
Ben Williams
Can't say in words how great my experience has been. Went from having never been behind the wheel to passing my test on the first go, couldn't possibly have done it without Dave's outstanding teaching and uncanny ability to make just about anyone confident in the driver's seat. And to make it just that bit better, Steph's communication throughout the entire process is fast, and gets right to the point. Couldn't ask for a better duo to learn with! ❤️

Had another driving instructor before lockdown and finally found Dave! Best driving instructor around puts you at ease helped with my confidence and helped me pass with only 3 minors. Would definitely recommend!

From day one of starting with Optimus Drive has been such an incredible experience! Dave is a fantastic instructor, not only was he my driving instructor but he was also my best friend. I can’t thank him enough for building my confidence to become a confident driver and passing my test this morning! And for his amazing and beautiful partner Steph! If it wasn’t for Steph no one would have any lessons booked at all, any tests etc! She is one amazing lady and I’m thankful for all your support, highly recommend Optimus Drive! Thank you again for everything!!!
Tanya Edwards
The best thing that could have happened to me was to have Optimus Drive recommended to me. Dave is THE BEST instructor I have ever had. I have been trying to pass my test for over 10yrs so that shows I've had enough to compare him to. I felt so comfortable, encouraged and supported that my confidence shot right up!!
