Driving Schools in Richmond

“Passed my Class 6 Road test first try with the help and training from 1st Gear. Couldn't be happier, thanks for all the hard work you guys do at 1st Gear!“

“Would defiantly recommend Mike, very good instructor and can teach pretty much all there is to know in just a couple lessons, especially reverse and parallel parking tricks. Passed first try with his help“

“I passed my Class 5 road test on my first attempt, and I truly couldn’t have done it without Nicholas from Excellent Driving School.

When I first started, I honestly thought I might never be able to learn how to drive confidently. However, Nicholas changed that completely. His calm teaching style, patience, and clear step-by-step guidance made a huge difference in my learning experience.

I’ve had lessons with different instructors before and appreciated them as well, but Nicholas stood out in a very unique way. He is consistently calm, composed, and in control during lessons, which helped me stay relaxed and focused. He has strong judgment, awareness, and a clear way of explaining what to watch for on the road, which really improved my perception and decision-making while driving.

What I appreciated most is how thorough and knowledgeable he is. He doesn’t just tell you what to do—he explains why, which helped everything make sense and stick.

Because of his teaching, I not only learned how to drive properly, but I also started to enjoy the process and gained real confidence behind the wheel.

I highly recommend Nicholas to anyone who is serious about learning how to drive, especially those who may feel nervous or unsure at the beginning. He is an excellent instructor who genuinely helps you succeed.“
