Really grateful to my instructor at Rated Driving for getting me through first time. His calm teaching style made all the difference, especially on tricky roads like Marine Parade. Clear instructions throughout and he knew the test routes inside out. Passed at the local test centre yesterday. Highly recommend.

I used to panic at the Privett Roundabout near Stubbington, always ended up in the wrong lane. My instructor took me through it again and again until I could do it without thinking. Same with the Manor Way junction which always caught me out. The repetition really worked and I passed first time at the test centre in Gosport. Really grateful for the patience shown.
Joel H
I was really impressed by how quickly Rated Driving got back to my messages. Booking was straightforward, and my instructor was brilliant at answering my questions between lessons, even when I panicked about a manoeuvre the night before my test. When I had a last-minute worry about test centre directions, they sorted it straight away. That constant support made all the difference, and I passed first time because I felt so well looked after throughout.
