Fantastic experience: Paddy couldn’t be more patient and understanding while teaching me to drive , so chill and relax but also very professional, would highly recommend 5/5

Negative experience: I have seen this company's Toyota Yaris twice, both times in perfect visibility and both times with front fog-lights on. Even the image here on Google suggests that this is standard operating procedure for the company. The practice is illegal. Front fog-lights are only allowed on in conditions where your headlights would be reflected back on you - i.e. dense fog (hence the name) or heavy snow. The relevant legislation is the 1963 Road traffic Act (lighting of vehicle regulations) article 49(8). While I wouldn't expect a driving instructor to know the Road Traffic Acts, I would expect them to know the Rules of the Road, where this rule is clearly explained. In short, this company employs instructors who do not know the Rules of the Road and I would strongly advise anyone not to do business with them.

Fantastic experience: I can’t thank Paddy enough for teaching me to drive. Before meeting him I had had 2 instructors and I was a complete bag of nerves and was really reconsidering if driving was for me. After our first lesson I was completely at ease and I improved more with every lesson. As a result, I passed my test first time! Paddy is a really lovely guy and a great instructor, I couldn’t recommend him enough!

Fantastic experience: I did all of my mandatory 12 lessons and a few extra with Paddy. Couldn’t recommend him enough absolute gent and will always provide you with effective and honest feedback.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant driving instructor, who i would highly recommended. Paddy broke everything down to get you to understand the road while also being stress free and making you a confident driver on the road. I would rate him higher if I could but 5 stars is the max, Thank you again for the help.

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Paddy as a driving instructor and it is with his help I passed my driving test. He has great teaching methods and explains the different driving processes in a clear manner. I was very nervous prior to the the test but with the skills and knowledge I learned from Paddy I felt prepared and confident. I would have no problem recommending Paddy to anyone looking for an instructor. Thanks for everything!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Paddy if you're looking to pass you're test. Found him very helpful. Having failed my test twice up in Dublin I decided to try shannon. Paddy helped guide us through some of the routes in shannon and also helped correct bad habits or incorrect methods of doing the maneuvers/driving. He also showed some of the challenging parts of shannon/local area which was very helpful on the day.
