I hold full driving licences for motorcycles, cars, lorries, buses and tracked vehicles. My instruction time is spread evenly between Automatic and Manual transmission cars. I’ve also got experience of teaching learners with dyslexia, dyspraxia, autism and learning difficulties. When I’m not instructing I drive a local school bus. I spent 7 years in the British Army where I learnt to drive. Prior to founding DART I drove overland vehicles through South America and Africa. I also spent time driving in Scandinavia, London and Nepal. The first generation Yaris started production in 1999, replacing the Starlet. It’s one of the most reliable and popular hatchbacks available. The Yaris is very responsive in steering and acceleration. It’s the ideal around town car and very easy to reverse.
