I was so nervous at the thoughts of doing my driving test. As soon as I took pretests I felt at ease. My instructor was great, gave me the confidence it took for me to pass the test. I am so happy I went with RSA School of Motoring because without the help and guidance from my instructor I would not have sat the test. Highly recommended & thank you so much. I will certainly pass the details on to anybody I know doing the test!
