Read what some of our satisfied students have to say:

"My name is Maxine and I'm 50 years old. I never really needed to pass my driving test so kept putting it off... I work in a job where I need to drive vehicles. I looked around for driving schools and started manual car lessons. I really couldn't get on with it all struggling with lesson then COVID hit. I was told to contact Peter of Margam driving school as he had an automatic car and arranged lessons. He instantly put me at ease. He has been very patient with me, great with explaining what I need to do before every lesson. He is calm. Gives great detail of how to execute any manoeuvre needed. He encouraged me to put in for my theory test and once passed, he then arranged for my practical driving test. He took the time to re-arrange other lessons to fit around my working times. He has fantastic mannerisms, patient and very encouraging. His expertise is top notch. He has a great teaching ethic. He had the ability to calm me down when I got a little stressed during lessons, when I was panicking about things. I then, with Peter's help, passed my driving test first time. I have to say without Peter I wouldn't be where I am now. Thank you very much, Peter."

"I started learning to drive with Peter after stopping and starting over the years with other instructors, none of whom I'd really gelled with before. I'd never been confident in my driving ability, or confident that I'd ever pass my test as I'd been learning for so long with other instructors without a test ever being booked. Peter gave me the confidence to believe in myself, and to believe that my time to pass was now. Peter was consistently professional and encouraged me to be the best version of myself that I could be. He gave me the confidence to believe in my driving ability, and equipped me with the skills I needed to be a good and safe driver. With thanks to Peter's hard work and encouraging nature, I managed to pass my driving test first time! Even now, six months after passing my test, if I get nervous in a driving situation, I still repeat to myself some of the sayings that Peter told me when I get nervous in a driving situation, which reassure me that I can do it, and that I deserve to be on the road :)"

"I successfully passed my test on the first attempt, and having had no driving practice in between lessons. Peter's excellent teaching style and calmness made it a fun and enjoyable experience. I got on well with Peter and enjoyed his company during my lessons. I thoroughly recommend him."

"Peter was super helpful and informative from the start - always happy to answer any questions and really flexible and accommodating. Would try and make the lessons as personalised as he could to help me in areas I was struggling in. Definitely recommend!"

"Don't bother wasting your time with other instructors! I failed my first test with 7 majors with a different instructor. Decided to give Peter a try and just a few weeks later was successful. Peter is polite, professional and teaches you not just to drive well but crucially pass the test. Save your money and go with Peter first time."
— Louis Owen
"Peter is an excellent driving instructor. As an exceptionally anxious person, learning to drive was not easy for me. Peter was very patient and understanding when I felt overwhelmed. He helped me to stay calm while still encouraging progress and I got my licence in short order. I can't recommend him highly enough."

"Peter is an experienced and patient instructor. As a nervous first time driver I felt all ease and appreciated his calm demeanour. He taught me all the necessary skills in the relevant sequence, giving me plenty of opportunities to practice skills whilst developing new ones. He gave me confidence in my ability and made me feel safe behind the wheel."
— Olivia Lloyd
"I'd highly recommend going with Peter, he has been able to work with any availability limitations I has as I was in college and also made the time for a driving test on short notice. He really did stay patient with me when he saw I needed support and is just such an easy person to get along with. I had a great learning experience with him."

"I spent many years trying to pass my driving test with other instructors with no result. Frustrated, I stopped for a while. A few years later I found the number for Margam School of Motoring to try one more time. Peter was brilliant from the start. He narrowed down on what I needed to work on and ironed out all the creases. He was always willing to answer any question that I had about driving and nothing phased him while out on the road. A fantastic teacher with an incredible knowledge of the road. I 100% recommend giving Margam School of Motoring a call."

"Peter made my learning so much easier. Keeping it simple and effective way of learning, quickly mastering clutch control. Steering and awareness when on the road and improving my understanding on the rules of the road and I had then passed my practical test easily."
