Harsha Vajja – Hounslow, Middlesex (19th December 2012)

I was quite nervous about driving a car in UK and driving in London was a nightmare because of all the traffic. I decided to choose Britannia as its the best in this field. I called them and they recommended me a great Instructor who is Tim. Tim was very calm and supportive. Thanks once […]

Tom Crown – Wimbledon, London (13th February 2012)

Just a quick message to say that James took me out for a lesson last night ahead of a work driving assessment I passed today. He was exceptional and friendly, so as well as the excellent help I had from Paul, 2 Britannia driving instructors have been absolutely brilliant in helping me pass both tests. […]

Stephanie Sauvarin – Hampton, Middlesex (4th February 2012)

Passed my test yesterday with Britannia. My instructor, Jon was great! Very calm at all times, clear and thorough with the briefs of what I needed to do and taught me how to drive rather than just how to get me through my test! After having 3 different driving instructors I was beginning to think […]

Nikki Gunning – Wimbledon, London (7th December 2011)

Thanks so much to Nick, who helped me to pass my driving test last week. As a slightly older student I have full time work commitments and Nick was great at fitting lessons in around my hectic schedule – including a late session the night before my test after a last minute panic! The car […]

Winnie Awa – Balham, London (4th December 2011)

A HUGE HUGE THANK YOU to my driving instructor Mary!!! I passed my test (albeit at my 4th attempt) last Friday, although I am pretty sure it would have been a lot quicker if I had started with Britannia and Mary. Mary is absolutely fantastic and without a doubt the best driving instructor this side […]

James Brewer (27th April 2011)

Hi, my name is James. I was not a student with Britannia but I did find your website brilliant. I sat up all last night and this morning worrying and going over your, “Driving Test Tips” and other sections and found it invaluable. Especially the section on observation which was a weak point of mine. […]

Miss A Matthews – Wimbledon, London (5th November 2009)

I first started my driving lessons with Clare in August having never driven a car before. I was very nervous about driving, but Clare was very patient driving instructor and this helped. I noticed over my time with Clare that she was a perfectionist, and she tried to make sure that my driving was 100% […]

Once you have passed the driving test you will be able to drive on your own. This will provide you with lots of opportunities but you need to remain safe.
