A1 Driving School
I would like to say thank you so much for being an amazing instructor, who believed in me and gave me the confidence to pass my test. Peter Bowen-Davis ADI understands that everyone learns at a different pace. He has the experience to let pupils work at their own pace, with the right amount of guidance and encouragement, to get them to test as quickly as they can.

With A1 Driving School Newbury, most students pass their driving test first time. A range of services allow learner drivers to enjoy learning to drive and get to the safe standard of driving required to pass the driving test in as few lessons as possible. Perhaps the best test of a quality driving school is what past pupils have to say about learning to drive with Peter Bowen-Davis.

Can't recommend Pete enough! Informative, fun, experienced and was super patient when I struggled with things. He really helped me not only pass my test first time but has given me the skills I need to be a better newly qualified driver on the roads!

Pete is a wonderful person and very skilful instructor. Specially, after accessing my bad driving habits, he eventually trained me with the best driving skills essential for a safe and comfortable driving. The best being his techniques, patience and right amount and timely pressure to be applied on me to make me learn quickly. He has good experience training wide variety of pupils and I think that's makes him a very experienced and lively instructor. Thank you so much and all the Best Pete!!!

Pete is an excellent instructor.Most important he knows how to combine during the driving lesson: the theories, explaining rules in simple way giving very helpful feedback. Also a great thing is that Pete teaches you not just to pass the test but more importantly to be a safe driver primarily. I definitely recommend to everybody that want to learn quick and safer driving to choose A1 Driving School with Pete. Thank you Pete!

A year ago I was too nervous to even get behind the wheel of a stationary car. Thanks Pete for all the laughs and although I probably drove you mad on multiple occasions I had a lot of fun learning to drive. One of the best instructors locally, especially for nervous students. You'll be in safe hands with Sensei Pete

I couldn't recommend Pete enough, he's a really energetic and engaging instructor, very patient and fun guy to be around. He pays attention to every detail and prioritizes teaching GOOD driving, not just how to pass your test. Thanks Pete
