Delighted to have passed first time as a result of Richard’s clear, patient teaching technique. The lessons were well balanced between practical and theory and I felt confident with the pace taken during them.

Cheers Jacob.

Two weeks back to work, two tests completed with two first times passes.

This time its the turn of another villager, Natalie to get her full driving licence.

Well done for today. You did really well composing yourself again after some other driver, his words ‘was in a different world’ clipped your door mirror.

All that time and effort has paid off with a good first time pass today.

As you said, you are now joining the search for parking spaces at school.

Be safe and enjoy your Fiat 500.

Well done.

#RJAsDrivingSchool
#FirstTimePass

#FirstTimePass

So glad to get back to work after the second lockdown, even on a miserable day like today because this young lady passed her driving test today.

So now Claudia can drive to work at 4.00am rather than the 2 mile walk!

Well done today, keeping everything together. I hope everything goes well for you, as you really deserve it.

All the best. Be safe and enjoy the little Fiat 500.

#RJAsDrivingSchool

I couldn’t take Tathagat to test, but as he’s been doing a lot of practice in his own car with Dad’s supervision and clearly that all helped.

Richard is a dedicated driving instructor with extensive experience and knowledge. Despite the coronavirus outbreak we were able to have high quality lessons without any compromise. He steered me in the right direction to pass my test first time. Moreover, Richard provided greater understanding of the scenarios that I may need to face in the future. On the whole I enjoyed my time with RJA’ Driving School and highly recommend him to those seeking to pass their test.

Thank you for the testimonial mate. Be safe and enjoy Uni.
All the best.

#RJAsDrivingSchool
#FirstTimePass

Great day yesterday with Rosie May passing her driving test with only 2 faults.

Well done Rosie May, fantastic result .

I’ll miss our lessons and chats. Hope things go well in Norwich.

Be safe and enjoy your DS3.

#RJAsDrivingSchool

A big thank you to Richard for his genuine, patient and calm attitude. I would like to thank Richard for his welcoming and positive vibe, he works hard to make you feel at ease and to maintain this sense of calmness throughout each lesson. I am grateful for his commitment and flexibility, he works incredibly hard to work with your schedule and be punctual. For someone who struggles with anxiety and focusing on multiple practical tasks at once, Richard was able to explain everything calmly and simply, so that I understood. He used visual aids, ie maps of the road layouts and roundabouts, which I found particularly useful, so that I could better understand and plan the manoeuvres as and when they arrived. He explained everything so clearly, going over certain aspects multiple times, to ensure I fully comprehended what was required of me. He was clear when I had made a mistake and fully explained how I could have handled a driving situation better, or any corrections within a manoeuvre.
Thank you again, best wishes and happy driving!
10/10 would recommend!

Another good day at the office with another villager passing first time.

Well done Andrew, passing today at your first attempt with only four driving faults keeping those nerves under control.

Although we only spent 22 hours together Andrew was well ready to pass today and gain his ‘freedom’.

Be safe and enjoy driving.

#RJAsDrivingSchool
#FirstTimePass

Richard was a great instructor. He explains things clearly, is calm, patient and very encouraging. I would thoroughly recommend him.

Great start to the week. Pupil wishing to stay ‘anonymous’ passing their test at their first attempt and with only two driving faults.

#RJAsDrivingSchool
#FirstTimePass

Learning to drive with Richard was great, he was always calm and kept me calm.
After being with another instructor for a bit, it was much less stressful with Richard. Always good to hear his recent stories.

I always felt safe when learning, and learnt more than the test even needed. I passed first time with only 2 minors, and have Richard to thank for my new freedom!

Another good day at the office.

Well done Luca passing your driving test today at your first attempt. Great drive, keeping those nerves under control.

Be safe and enjoy your car.

All the best.

#RJAsDrivingSchool
#FirstTimePass

At first I was very nervous about the thought of driving but from my first lesson with Richard I knew I had nothing to worry about.

Many thanks Luca.

First test after lockdown!

Well done Charlotte. After four months of no lessons, then just a couple of hours refresher and a great drive passing your test with only three driving faults.

Well done Katrina, great drive today passing with only three driving faults and great comments from the examiner.

I shall miss our chats. Be safe and enjoy driving.

Well done.

#RJAsDrivingSchool

I can’t thank Richard enough. His calm demeanor means that you always feel comfortable in the car. He will explain in such a way that you understand. Alongside being a good listener and such a friendly person means that you feel at ease. I would recommend to anyone, what ever the age.

Early Christmas present for Macy, and for her mum who no longer has to take and pick her up from work.

Well done Macy passing today with only two driving faults.

Now it’s your turn to take and pick your mum up.

Be safe and enjoy your car.

All the best.

Another good day at the office! Another First Time Pass!

Well done Elektra passing today at your first attempt. Great drive, you really deserved it.

#RJAsDrivingSchool
#PassFirstTime

I owe Richard the biggest thank you for being extremely patient and approachable in his teaching techniques.
He has allowed me to be able to pass first time, something I never believed I could do. Having tried other driving instructors before, learning with Richard was a breath of fresh air, he simplified aspects of driving I once considered terrifying and allowed me to overcome my fears.

Thank you so much!

Another good day at the office. Another First Time Pass!

Well done Aidan Barker passing your driving test today at your first attempt and with only 4 faults.

I know we didn’t need too may lessons when you came onboard.

Really well done again. Enjoy your nice VW and be safe.

Cheers

#RJAsDrivingSchool
#FirstTimePass

I went to Richard after I did an intensive course which had very little driving in to what’s expected. During my short time with Richard as my instructor I learnt the majority at a fairly fast rate and anything I didn’t pick up straight away he is always more than happy to go back and practice as much as you need until you are happy.

Passed first time with only 4 minors, just wish I had started learning with him from the beginning.

The same theme continues with another First Time Pass.

Well done Jude passing your driving test at your first attempt. Great drive and finishing with only two driving faults.

It’s been a pleasure teaching you and a big thanks to your parents in entrusting me to teach you and both your brother and sister previously.

Enjoy your Corsa but be safe.

All the best.

Richard is calm, nice, and will go into full detail about anything you’re worried about.

I would strongly recommend Richard for your driving instructor.

Many thanks for that a the massive bar for Chocolate. 🍫😁

All the best and enjoy driving.

#RJAsDrivingSchool
#Passfirstime

Testimonial from Sam who passed last week.

“Through ‘direct’ teaching Richard was able to build up my confidence which enabled me to adapt the skill of driving independently.

Cheers Richard.”

Day four and the fourth pupil passed their test.

ANOTHER first attempt and AGAIN passing with a single driving fault.

Well done Charlotte, so close to a ‘clean sheet’.

Be safe and enjoy your car.

All the best.

#RJAsDrivingSchool
#Passfirstime

Testimonial from Charlotte who passed before Christmas.

Richard was very professional and considerate of any worries I had.
He explained manoeuvres fully and answered any theory questions I had in detail.
He was very encouraging and didn’t let me stress unnecessarily if I got something wrong.
Would highly recommend him.

Thank you Richard!

Thanks for that Charlotte, hope things are going well.
All the best.

Day three and the third pupil passed their test.

Another First Attempt and this time passing with a single driving fault.

So close to a clean sheet, just that gentle rub on the wheel on the first pull up.

Well done Oliver great drive. Seems like your going to be the taxi over Christmas.

Be safe and enjoy your car.

All the best.

Another pupil leaving me today.

#FirstTimePass

Testimonial from Teresa who passed earlier this week.

Thank you very much again!

I never thought i’d pass first time but i did thanks to Richard’s help. He was always very calm, friendly and good at explaining things. I would recommend him to any learners.

Thank you for that Teresa.

Have a good Christmas and I hope your parents don’t use you too much as a ‘taxi driver’ over the festive period. 😉

Only gone and done it again!

Another pass today and their First Attempt!

Well done Jo keeping those nerves under control even when the examiner wasn’t ‘helping’ much.

So YES you did pass your test today it’s not a dream and now you can tell the world, rather than just you and me knowing.

See you soon for the Pass Plus. 🚗🚗🚗

All the best and be safe.

Testimonial from Jo who passed first time last week.

I would definitely recommend Richard as a driving instructor.

Made it very comfortable to ask questions if I didn’t understand fully, and always helps you improve.

Many thanks for that. Be safe. 🚗

If you are searching for an instructor, I can guarantee you that Richard IS THE ONE! 🌞

Hi Richard,
I just wanted to say a BIG thank you very much for being my instructor and getting me through my test at the first attempt.

You are Fantastic!!!!

Great start to the weekend.

Well do Sam for passing your driving test today with only 2 driving faults.

England to beat Sweden next Sam.

See you around the village.

Cheers

Testimonial from Aaron would passed his test earlier in the week.

Richard is a good reliable instructor, helping me to pass in just over 2 and a half months.
I would recommend everyone using Richard, who not only helps you with tips for passing your test. But, also tips for after the test in the future.

Thanks mate. Be safe and enjoy.

Great day yesterday. Another first time pass and again with only three driving faults.

Well done Amy. Great drive, really nice drive.

Be safe and I’ll see you driving around the village. 😁
#firsttimepass

Testimonial from Amy who passed last week.

Hi Richard, Just wanted to thank you for being such a wonderful instructor.
It’s safe to say I wasn’t a natural at driving but you were so patient and persevered with the extremely harsh braking at first that in time you’ve taught me how to drive safe and correctly on the roads! (And you didn’t need a neck brace 😂).
I’ve always felt we spent an ideal amount of time learning each new thing so it never felt rushed. Everything was explained so well and I always felt I could ask any questions if I was ever unsure (and I certainly asked LOTS! 😂).
And as for the exam…well I think you should make that examiners interior mirror fall off before everyone’s exam because that certainly got rid of all my nerves! 😂
Well that’s my genuine thanks to you.
Thanks again, Amy 🚗☺️🚙

Nice one. I really enjoyed our lessons and your company. Be safe and I hope to see you for the Pass Plus.

Great day with another First Time Pass for Francesca and with only three driving faults.

Lovely comments from the examiner as well.

Fran only had 35 hours of tuition but drives really well, safely and confidently. Just the job.

Really well done and enjoy driving.

All the best.

Testimonial from Fran who passed FIRST TIME last week.

Thanks to Richard I was able to past first time with only 3 minors. He was patient, calm and made me feel comfortable when driving. He was able to pick me up from different locations where every I was on time so I’m very glad I had Richard as a driving instructor.

Thank you for that Fran. I enjoyed teaching you. Enjoy your Clio. Be safe.

Good start to the day. Early test and a first time pass.

Well done Declan for an excellent drive passing first time and with only three driving faults.

That’s both brother and sister through their tests at their first attempt.

Be safe and enjoy driving your Corsa.

Cheers

Testimonial from Declan who passed this.

Thanks to Richard, RJA’s Driving School he helped me pass my driving test with flying colours first time. He was always punctual and helpful if I needed to change times. I would thoroughly recommend RJA’s Driving School.

All the best. 😁 🚗

First day on the road under the new branding and my first pass. Great day 😁

Well done George, we got there. It was worth the wait.

Be careful when driving the works van in London.

All the best, hope to see you soon for the Pass Plus.

Second test of the day with Yupha the first and then Dom.

Well done Dom getting through today with only a couple of faults. Nice drive.

So now the L Plates are off your car!

Dominic completed a semi intensive course over the schools Christmas and New Year holiday with his test the week going back to school.

Well done Yupha. Nice steady drive today to get through your test.

Kept yourself focused with your eyes on the prize!

well done again and enjoy your long awaited return home to see your family.

It’s been a while since a pupil has gone to test but it happened today with William.
This was his first attempt and he passed with only a handful of faults. Well done William and I’ll see you next week for the Pass Plus course.

It was worth putting the test back a couple of weeks to get this result. 😁

Testimonial from Laura who passed a few weeks ago.

Huge thanks to Richard for helping me pass my driving test. He was able to give me lots of great information before starting and I never felt rushed. The plan we followed helped me feel confident with each aspect of driving. Whilst learning I ‘flapped’ when something went wrong however Richard was always able to get me to focus and be calm again. I would definitely recommend Richard and thank him for all his patience with me.

Thanks for that Laura. Hope you are enjoying driving. 😁🚘

Tests are like buses, they come in twos.

Here’s today;s pass! It’s Laura Hill from the village. Great drive today ending in a Pass and with only a handful of faults.

Not so sure that your mums going to be so happy though as she could be losing her car more. 😉

Really well done for sticking with it and getting to this stage.

Be safe and enjoy it. 😁😁😁

I went with Richard after reading his testimonials and I’m so pleased that I did as I passed first time and now progress at work as I was needed to travel between Peterborough and Coventry. Many thanks Richard.

Vis had been driving before and just needed a little refresher before taking his test, so he opted for the Test Booster course and it worked.
Well done. See you soon for the Pass Plus training.

It was totally my pleasure Bexx. Well done passing your test with a really good drive. Bexx has also now completed the Pass Plus training which she said was really useful.
Take it easy and keep safe in your nice car.

My cousin recommended Richard to me after he passed first time with him and I’m glad that he did as I also passed first time with Richard. Great instructor, just what Ed said about him and I now can drive my car that’s been sitting on my drive. Many thanks Richard.

I’m glad to be of help and pleased that you got through first time. Well done.

I passed first time with Richard, he’s the best instructor I’ve had. He puts you at ease and explains everything in detail, all the manoeuvres that I was afraid of became easy to perform. Richard spots all… of your mistakes and tells you about them straight away so you can reflect and improve immediately. I highly recommend him if you want to pass! Thanks Richard!

Fred took his test in Cambridge, which he had never driven around before. He went for the 20 hour Midway Pass course and it worked well as he got through with a really good drive with only three minors. Well do mate. Keep safe.

Richard is a highly skilled instructor and I am pleased I asked him to teach me to drive. After starting up with driving and then stopping and driving a 4×4 round the farm I had picked up a few bad habits but with Richard I got there.

We had some good laughs and crazy times but he was also professional and patient and taught me everything I didn’t know about driving and the MIRRORS.

He always has a positive calm attitude and makes you feel relax from day one. Richard is a great instructor and I would recommend him to anyone who is taking up driving. Richard is one in a million and thank you for getting me though my test I am amazed I passed first time with only 2 minors and it’s down to you and your lessons.

I also did pass plus with Richard and that was again a great day. We had another good laugh and great morning out but again I learnt a great deal with Richard.

I highly recommend that everyone does pass plus. THANK YOU Richard.

We did have a good time while driving. I don’t think Emma realised that she was also being taught how to drive at the same time because everything was so relaxed.

I learnt to drive with Richard by doing a one week intensive course, it was one of the best choices I ever made.
I had very little experience of driving before the course but 30 hours in a car with Richard was more than enough to allow me to pass first time. Richard is a very good instructor who plans the lessons to make the most of the time in the car.
He is very patient and never loses his temper and if you’re lucky he will even buy you lunch.
The LDC workbook and DVD were very helpful for learning the basics before the lessons and made the lessons much easier. Thank you for helping me pass first time.

I’d had other instructors but didn’t seem to be progressing, but with only 20 hours with Richard I felt confident and able to pass my time first time with only 4 minors.

I took my driving lessons with Richard. He is funny and easy to talk to, after a few short months of lessons he had me ready for my test. He was very flexible with fitting lessons in around my work hours. He made sure I was prepared for any eventuality whilst driving in all conditions.

Will had had a few lessons before we started, but we started at the begin just to ensure the basics were fully understood and quickly moved on covering all aspects of driving including the manoeuvres which we completed easily. Will works all hours in a hotel so this will make it a lot easier for all.
