Cesar Bandeira Silveira Barbosa – Mitcham, Surrey (26th April 2014)

I passed my driving test thanks to John T, my instructor at Britannia. Although I have previous experience as a driver, I had to get rid of a few nasty habits, such as not looking in the mirrors and not planning ahead well enough, which led me to take last-second decisions in traffic and incur safety faults. In this regard, John T was spotless: he was always very attentive to every detail, and most importantly, explaining why it was dangerous to do what I was doing. For example, while reversing, I was trusting the mirrors too much and not looking towards the rear window. He told me: “Mind the blind spots. What if there were small children running towards the back of the car? You wouldn’t’ve seen them, would you?” And because I’ve got a small daughter myself, that made me think twice. 🙂

In fact, I could really say that John T has got the ‘eye of the tiger’ — whatever mistake I made while driving, even a barely noticeable one, he would ALWAYS pick it up! And that’s exactly what every learner should look for in a driving instructor: the stricter, the better. (But don’t worry, he’s very friendly too! LOL)

Mind you, he also has experience as an examiner, so he surely knows what he’s talking about! 🙂

Anyway, John T does his job as he should. Simple as that. Not only does he prepare you for the driving test, he prepares you for the real life as a driver. And I’m not ashamed of saying what I’m going to say: it’s professionals like him that keep my faith in humanity.

This said, if you want to pass your test AND be a confident driver, look no further: John T is the solution!
THANK YOU SO MUCH JOHN!!! 😀
