I am an Approved Driving Instructor, (A.D.I) for short. This is a qualification issued by the Driving Vehicle Standards Agency. The DVSA is the organization set up by the government to carry out your Driving test.
I have over 13 years of experience teaching people to drive around the Southampton area. I know the roads well and can help you learn them to help get you through your driving test.
I have been rigorously tested to meet the requirements set out by the DVSA to teach to their standards and can therefore legally charge for this service. I am re-tested every couple of years to prove I can still teach to a high standard to guarantee you get value for money.
When working for pay or reward a Driving Instructor must display their green badge in the front window of the tuition vehicle.
All A.D.I's have also been DBS (originally called CRB) checked for your peace of mind.
A resident for all of my life, I know the area well and have years of experience driving on its roads. Currently living on the west of the city but have lived on the east side in the past so have extensive knowledge of the roads for both test centre areas.
Learning to drive should be fun so I teach in a relaxed environment to put the pupil at ease. So don't worry about making mistakes I'm here to teach you not to test you. If you have any worries, fears, or bad experiences from previous instruction then please tell me and I can help. Every person has a different way in which they learn new skills, so Drive With Dan will adapt to suit your needs.
