What is black box insurance?

If you are a young driver or you’ve recently passed your test, you could be facing an eye-watering quote for your car insurance if you do not have a black box fitted. This is because most insurers base their premium calculations on a block of driver profiles and general statistical evidence – and, unfortunately, young and newly qualified drivers are statistically more likely to be involved in an accident than any other group.

Roundabouts

Roundabouts are one of the hardest areas for beginners to understand. Not surprising when many experienced drivers don’t seem to know how to negotiate them either! Continue reading “Roundabouts”

I was a bit later than some in taking the plunge and learning to drive and as such felt my confidence was lacking somewhat. Mike easily remedied all that. He easy going a great laugh and has a excellent teaching methodology to make sure I was well prepared for what the roads can throw at you and above all is patient allowing you to learn at your own speed (which in my case was much needed) With Mike's help I was able to pass my test first time with only 3 minors. I couldn't recommend Mike highly enough! Many thanks again Mike I couldn't of done it without you.

As a nervous driver, I highly recommend Mike. He is a very calm teacher, who builds confidence in his students as they're growing their skills. I really appreciate the warm ups he does: (as the area tackles every base of driving) before moving onto tougher routes. I can't recommend him enough!

Highly recommend Mike. Really nice guy and very easy to learn with. I’m very nervous about driving but he puts me at ease and has helped me gain confidence. He is a fabulous instructor!

First instructor I had was Mike, wasn’t too happy. My experience with Mike gave me a terrible impression of driving instructors as a learner. Started with a new driving instructor today and in one, two hour lesson I achieved more than I did with 9 hours with Mike. He’s a nice guy and means well but needs to rethink his teaching strategies and learn to trust his students more.

I highly recommend Mike as a driving instructor, he's patient, friendly and gives great clear advice and feedback every lesson. The area he uses as a 'warm up area' if you're just starting or need to relax before you tackle busier and faster roads is perfect with a great variety of junctions and road layouts to get used to driving. I really enjoy my lessons with him.

On short notice Mike was more than willing to take me on as a student. He is very easy to talk to and will cater the lessons for your needs to ensure you get your money's worth. Mike is very fair in his teaching and will ensure that you have the right skill set to passing your test. Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Mike is a really excellent instructor and I cannot recommend him enough if,like me, you feel you have lacked confidence with driving or have had bad experiences with other driving instructors. Mike knew exactly how to challenge me as a driver without putting me out of my comfort zone. In the past I found instructors to be quite pushy and they seemed quick to put me into difficult situations like roundabouts without having covered the basics first. Mike is friendly, easy to get on with and a great instructor. He really understands how to make you a confident driver.

Excellent instructor, Mike is especially great for nervous drivers as he knows just when to push you without making you feel overwhelmed.
