Riverside Driving Academy

Result: PASSED FIRST TIME! Dave has the ability to make learning fun and relaxed yet stay focused. My son was apprehensive before his first session because we had just relocated from Sussex and the Birmingham streets were very different. From the first session he was sold. Thank you Dave for a great driving experience for my son. He’s over the moon!

Dave from Riverside Driving Academy kindly took me on as a pupil after my previous instructor finished teaching due to other commitments. From the start, I was motivated and encouraged to be the most confident and safest driver I can be. Despite anxieties, Dave always believed in my ability and helped me pass yesterday! I cannot thank Dave enough for all of his support and knowledge, preparing me to tackle the roads.🚗

Wasn't taught here but an instructor made a great impression on us and wanted to support them! We (2) were cycling in a road in Sutton Coldfield and were overtaken on a right-hand turn at traffic lights by someone obviously in too much of a rush to care about driving too close. The car behind was a Riverside Driving Academy car, and the instructor shouted encouraging words and tried to help us by taking the details of the reckless driver. Thank you for looking out for other road users - clea...

Learning to drive with Dave was great, I couldn’t recommend him enough! He was able to keep me at ease, my nerves down and all while having a joke and laugh. He managed to help me pass my driving test first time and got me confident at driving. Cheers Dave!

Dave at Riverside is a brilliant driving instructor. I was a very nervous driver to begin with and didn’t think I’d ever be able to drive on my own, but Dave was extremely patient and made every lesson positive. I ended up passing first time and am finally driving myself around! The great thing about Dave is that he’ll make sure to challenge you, but without adding extra pressure. Can’t recommend him highly enough, thanks Dave!! I can drive!! 👏👏
