driving schools in Leeds reviews

Mike McGowan Driving School in Leeds helped to build up my confidence, as a nervous
person. generally, when starting something new, I can find the situation intimidating. Mike
has the patience of a saint; he put me at ease, making the lessons interesting, has so much
knowledge of roads and road safety, and you can have a laugh with him. Would recommend
Mike 100%.

Sophia Jones

I would highly recommend Mike McGowan Driving School for anyone wanting to learn to
drive in Leeds. He was always on time, which is something my previous instructor was not,
hence the reason why I changed instructors. I found Mike to be friendly, funny, and excellent
at explaining things properly. I passed my second test, but the first with Mike, with only three
minors.
