“I passed my driving test first time; thanks to Jon who is a fantastic instructor. He was punctual, patient and funny on every lesson. He not only built my confidence in driving, but I also had miles of smiles with him. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all the office staff at Britannia Driving School Hampton for all their help in arranging driving lessons”
