What learners say about their Adel instructors
Calm and Clear Teaching
Massive thanks to my instructor at Rated Driving. His calm approach and clear instructions made all the difference, especially on tricky junctions around Adel. Knew the test routes inside out which really helped my confidence. Passed first time and would definitely recommend to anyone in the area.
Eliza L
Mastered the A660 roundabout system
I really struggled with the roundabouts along the A660 near Horsforth, especially the one by the Dyneley Arms. My instructor took me through them again and again until I got confident with the lanes and positioning. We also spent time on Church Lane and around Adel village until everything clicked. Passed first time at Horsforth test centre thanks to all that repetition.
Imogen O
Always There When I Needed Help
Rated Driving's communication was brilliant from start to finish. My instructor replied to texts within hours, even when I panicked about roundabouts on the A660 two days before my test. Booking was straightforward, and questions between lessons never went unanswered. That level of support made all the difference when nerves kicked in. Passed at the Horsforth centre thanks to feeling so reassured throughout.

Adel driving test tips from our instructors
Q: How do I handle roundabouts without panicking?
"Stay calm by following the MSPSL routine (Mirrors, Signal, Position, Speed, Look) and always look right on approach. Practice with mini roundabouts first, then build up to larger ones."
Reginos Theodotou
A-Grade DVSA Instructor · 20 years
Q: What's the correct way to check mirrors and signal?
"Check your mirrors before any change in direction, speed, or overtaking — act safely on what you see. Only signal if necessary, and make sure it's correctly timed and clear."
Mali Summers
A-Grade DVSA Instructor
Q: What's the number one mistake learners make?
"Trying too hard to be perfect. Mistakes are part of the process — every experienced driver made them too."
Graham Morgan
A-Grade DVSA Instructor · 15 years
Q: Is it easier to pass in an automatic car?
"Yes, it's much easier to pass in an automatic than a manual car. It's especially effective for nervous drivers who want to focus on road awareness."
