Rick’s Driving School
Latest Reviews
Rick is a really excellent teacher. He was much more thorough than other instructors I've had, but friendly and easy going too. He sends you typed up notes after your lessons which I found really helpful. I passed first time with him, but years before had failed several times. He's a cut above the rest!

Hi- I could not recommend Rick more. I am originally from the USA so already knew how to drive so Rick's role was more about making sure that I could drive the right way in the UK. I felt very confident with Rick's instructing and passed the test on my first attempt and I do think I'm an even better driver now than when I started. He was a very competent instructor and a friendly guy- I actually enjoyed my lessons! Rick was also very good about finding slots that worked with my schedule so we could get extra lessons in after my test slot was moved out by a few months. If you want someone who is going to make sure you pass and give you all the help along the way, you can't go wrong with Rick!

I originally started learning to drive in October 2014, and had a bad experience with my previous instructor before I started with Rick. I had 20+ lessons with my previous instructor but I never felt like I was progressing, was picking up bad habits and it was definitely time for a change.
In August 2015 I started having lessons with Rick. I explained the whole of my situation and Rick understood that I wanted to just get my test out of the way as quick as possible. So after the first couple of lessons it was apparent that I had gained no driving skills from my old instructor and it felt like I had completely started again. But with Rick’s guidance it was within no time I felt confident again to go for my test.
Having the experience of having two different instructors I would put Rick in a completely different league above the others and would recommend him to anyone. Flexible with his hours, never late for lessons and most importantly driving tuition to a very high standard, I can now confidently say that I have gained safe driving skills for life.
Thanks for all your help and support Rick, will never forget that first lesson!

I called Rick a little over a year ago and asked him if he would be able to take me on as a pupil. As a 25 year old beginner, I lacked the fearlessness of a 17 year old, but, from the first lesson I found myself feeling confident and comfortable behind the wheel.
Rick's practical approach to teaching sees you spending your entire lesson on the road. Theory is covered in situ and revised before your theory test. Lessons are set at a pace which suits you - I never felt like I was being rushed or held back.I found Rick to be a highly reliable instructor. He never cancelled a lesson and was always prompt. His professionalism, friendliness and enthusiasm meant I got my PASS, first time!

When you first start having lessons with Rick you will notice how quickly you pick things up, and its because he has such an effective way of teaching that you can only get by years of experience. Not only that but hes an approachable guy and knows how to make you feel comfortable.
I would recommend him to absolutely anyone, even if you already have experience driving. He got the job done for me and I passed in no time. Thanks again rick, Jerico

Rick was recommend to me by my partner who had found him to be a great teacher. Although I had previously had driving lessons, Rick helped me to build my confidence and work towards me passing my driving test first time.
Rick was very approachable, and always available when I needed lessons.

Rick's a great driving instructor! He is always available for lessons and very punctual. I didn't know the first thing about driving and was nervous about doing so. This soon faded as he will give you the confidence as he's very passionate about helping people to pass their driving test. He will allow you to go at your own pace so you gradually feel comfortable whilst driving. Lessons were also good to attend as he's always up for a conversation and a laugh! I highly recommend Rick if you're thinking about starting driving lessons as he helped me pass 1st time!

I found Rick through searching on Facebook for an instructor. I dropped him a message and straight away got a call back arranging a lesson time around my work hours. He was very laid back and professional and helped calm my nerves towards driving from the moment I got into the car.
Rick not only teaches you how to pass your test, but also teaches you how to drive beyond it, which is a difficult task in the streets of Bristol. I passed first time with 5 months worth of lessons and am looking forward to buying my first car next month!
Thanks mate!

After having passed my sister first time I too decided to have driving lessons with Rick. He wastes no time and is easy to get along with, recognises your faults and makes sure to put them right, as a result I also passed first time.

Firstly, I'd like to say thank you to Rick for getting me through my driving test first time!
With Rick you get exactly what you need whether it's on the road experience, theory test advice or a kick in the but!(if needed) to get you through your test.
I have no doubt that if you are willing to listen and learn Rick will get you that pass you want, first time.
I would recommend Rick to anyone; friends, family or whoever wants pass.

Great teacher with an exellent first time pass rate! Helped me to pass both my theory and practical tests (first time around). I had no previous experience of driving.
He wastes no time and teaches practical skills from the offset, offering great feedback both during lessons and afterwards. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of driving experience in the Bristol area.

Rick is fun, energetic and an experienced instructor, which is good because driving is stressful and painstaking to learn. I passed first time with Rick within a few months, and had only 1 minor on my test. He is very thorough and corrects everything wrong you do, but I can only thank him now for pushing me through it so quick, I am very comfortable driving on my own shortly after passing and Rick has given me road confidence that I lacked prior to having lessons. He always shows up early and finishes on time, his rates are cheaper than most other instructors and driving with him in practice and on test is much easier due to his positive attitude. What more can I say! If you want to boost your confidence and kick the driving nerves, then call Rick! He really goes the extra mile.

A Big thanks to Rick for helping me at very short notice and letting me take my test with a weeks notice.
Rick is a very knowledgeable driving instructor and knows what he is talking about. Very Helpful and picks you up on habits for you to re correct.
I choose Rick for his great pass rate and his compatible prices. I traveled all the way from Coventry to pass my test quickly and had a wide variety but Rick came top of the pack.
Thanks again Will
