Found Rated Driving through a friend's recommendation and so glad we did. Our instructor was incredibly patient with my daughter, picking her up from Beauchamp College which made things so much easier with our work schedules. He built her confidence on all the tricky roundabouts around Wigston and she passed first time at the South Wigston test centre. Couldn't be happier with the result!

My instructor had me practising the actual test routes from the Wigston centre for weeks before my test. We covered Bell Street, Long Street, and all the usual areas repeatedly until I could almost predict what was coming next. By test day, it felt like just another lesson rather than something to panic about. The methodical approach really worked for me. Passed first time with only three minors.

I failed my first test at the South Wigston centre because my observations at junctions were rushed and I messed up the parallel park. I was gutted but my instructor at Rated Driving didn't let me give up. We spent extra time on Bull Head Street and the roads around Station Road, really breaking down where I needed to look and when. He helped me slow down and actually see what I was checking for instead of just going through the motions. Second time round I passed with only three minors. Really grateful for the patience and practical help.
