Passed in the first try with Asif

Today I passed my driving test with iDrive in the first try and I couldn't do it without the patience and professionalism of my instructor Asif. He is a great teacher and really knows how to make learners feel confident on the road. I was a nervous driver at first, but he showed me everything I needed to know to drive safely and to be able to perform all the manoeuvres correctly. He never rushed and always let me try again things I wasn't sure about. He answered all my questions and resolved any doubts I had. He always explained everything clearly and patiently. He gave me all the instructions and tips I needed to pass the test. I cannot thank you enough, Asif. Highly recommended!

Driving - Naheed

I honestly cannot thank Naheed enough - I passed first time with 3 minors! I was a very nervous and unconfident driver but Naheed genuinely believed in me and supported me until I was test ready. I absolutely 10000% recommend automatic lessons with her!

Passed my test and came back for more!

I recently passed my driving test with IDrive - in the first try! And had since been anxiously avoiding motorways whilst out driving, so I decided to book in a 2 hour session with my instructor Afaq to go over motorway driving. I am so glad I did, in just 2 hours he talked me through the specifics of motorways, entering, exiting, lane changes, etc. All while I drove. Any nerves or anxiety I had about driving on the motorway melted away during this single, 2 hour session. I now feel confident enough to take on motorways on my own, and that’s thanks to my brilliant instructor Afaq and IDrive

Asif the highly skilled and exceptional driving instructor

Asif is an exceptional driving instructor! His patience, expertise, and encouragement made learning to drive a breeze. He tailored his teaching style to my needs, providing constructive feedback and celebrating my progress.As a nervous driver, he kept on reassuring me and constantly told me I deserve to pass which made me comfortable and confident behind the wheel on my test day, as these words echoed whiles on the test. I highly recommend Asif to anyone looking to become a safe and skilled driver. I passed the first time with him. Five stars isn't enough –Asif and idrive, they're truly the best!"

He's an experienced professional, passed first time with idrive

I was a nervous driver especially after having poor experiences with other driving instructors. I failed 5 times previously. This increased my anxiety with driving. Haroon was calm and easy to get along with. He explained the basics and had a set clear progression pathway and we would revisit this at the start and end of each lesson. Haroon gave me great tips before my test and in the lessons. He said to take it one step at a time, set mini targets to get to safely. This helped me succeed in my test.

He made sure I was ready to take mocks tests and we'd do mock tests regularly (with my previous instructors we only did it before the test) and he'd mark me like an examiner so I was always clear on what to improve for my driving. This really helped improve my nerves for the test because I knew what to expect and what faults they were looking at. I also watched his amazing YouTube channel where he has further tips and advice in a fun and professional format. I passed first time with him! He's an amazing person and instructor and I can't thank him enough for helping me pass!

Absolutely Outstanding Instructor – Thank You, Rashid!

I passed my driving test on 22/05/2025, and I couldn’t have done it without the incredible support and guidance of Rashid from iDrive. From the very beginning, Rashid took me right back to the basics, helping to rebuild my confidence with a calm, professional, and patient approach that made all the difference.

His deep knowledge and clear instruction made every lesson not just productive but genuinely enjoyable. No matter how nervous or uncertain I felt, Rashid was always composed and reassuring – the kind of instructor who brings out the best in you. He never once made me feel rushed or pressured; instead, he focused on steady progress and real understanding.

Rashid’s patience is unmatched, and his ability to explain things in a simple, relatable way was a game-changer for me. He believed in me even when I doubted myself, and for that, I’ll always be grateful.

If you’re looking for a driving instructor who’s professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in your success, I wholeheartedly recommend Rashid. I couldn’t have asked for a better teacher – thank you so much for everything!
