Limited Driving Area but Friendly Staff
The driving space was relatively small, making it challenging to attain the necessary speed for braking, and there were restrictions on the variety of maneuvers practiced. The staff, however, were friendly and generally well-informed.

The best aspect was learning more and increasing my confidence about my car. Really enjoyed the safe learning environment which was open and inclusive. Kevin was awesome in providing constructive guidance and support.
