You will be taking your driving lessons in a brand new 2017 Toyota Yaris 1.4D with a manual gearbox. This is probably the most learner-friendly instructor car that I've driven. It's an easy car to learn to drive in with excellent all-around visibility and a comfortable, stylish interior. It is a small-medium diesel car similar in size to the new Volkswagen Golf and Hyundai i30.
You'll start by learning the basics, then move on to moving and controlling the car safely and with confidence in a quiet and safe area. Once you've mastered that you'll start driving on busier roads, dealing with other road users, junctions and traffic signals. You'll learn how anticipate and avoid upcoming hazards and, most importantly, how to enjoy driving!
Intensive driving lessons are available six days per week and can be tailored to suit your requirements. Rapid pass courses will benefit both new drivers and those approaching test standard. Lessons can be taken hourly for anything up to 20 hours a week, depending on your schedule. Research shows that week-long gaps between driving lessons increases the cost of learning to drive as time is wasted getting back to where you left off.
The Pass Plus course is primarily aimed at the newly qualified driver, but anyone can take it. It's designed to build on the skills and knowledge already gained leading up to the driving test. Statistics show that new drivers are more likely to have an accident in the first two years after passing their test, simply due to lack of driving experience.
I provide driving lessons in and around the BD1, BD2, BD3, BD4, BD10 and LS28 Bradford and Leeds postcodes. Lessons start with pick up from a location to suit your own commitments (such as your home, workplace, college or school.) Just let me know where's best when you book the lesson. Thanks to Neil I managed to pass my driving test with only 4 minors although I thought I was never going to learn to drive.

I am beyond ecstatic with passing and it really was all thanks to Neil! I hated driving but he’s so calm, so funny and has the most memorable methods that I passed with flying colours, I cannot thank him enough and recommend him to anyone who thinks it’s impossible! I’m so so so appreciative, thank you Neil

Came to Neil an unconfident driver. The thought of driving would scare me and make me nervous but after a few lessons with Neil I was gaining so much more confidence on the roads which is something previous instructors could not help me with. Neil was really supportive and helpful and pushed me to do my best and become better and not drive like a “learner”. Furthermore I ended up passing my test first time with his help and support and could not recommend him enough. !!

An absolutely Amazing instructor helped me gain all the confidence I needed very quickly which I was lacking massively when I first started! He’s Very friendly and patient always finding a way to help me understand things I didn’t get. If you’re thinking about taking lessons with Neil I would definitely go for it I would recommend him to anyone I passed my test with 4 minors.

Came to Neil after only a couple of lessons from another instructor, instantly could tell how good he was. Right from the start he puts you at ease and really encourages you to drive confidently. Would definitely recommend him to anyone as he really does know what he's doing and doesn't try wasting your money, allowed me to actually enjoy driving.

Thoroughly enjoyed my learning experience with Neil and as a result passed first time!. He has a wonderful teaching style that makes you feel relaxed and understood on what your strengths and weaknesses are so that they can be dealt with in a suitable and safe manner. Although his singing is questionable it has built up my confidence in being a safe independent road user. Couldn't have asked for a better guide, a truly remarkable teacher :)

Neil is a fantastic instructor who made me feel extremely comfortable and relaxed from the very beginning to say i was new to the whole experience. He made everything crystal clear and even used his excellent😬singing voice to give tips and hints whilst driving. He is an all round top instructor and would recommended to anyone, not only as he got me a pass first time but was a pleasure to spend an hour with... thank you👍

Well what can I say? Don't go with Neil, his singing is terrible. Just kidding! I took driving lessons over 10 years ago and gave up after two failed tests. I decided to have another bash at the ripe young age of 34 and Neil was recommended to me by a friend. Neil is one of those people who you instantly take a liking to and feel completely comfortable with. His approach was different to the driving instructors I had previously encountered and rather than throwing me in at the deep end, he fine tuned my driving ability from the start. He has a good way of explaining things which is just want I
