Road Light Driver Training - Bolton

Laila Jasmine

I first started driving with Ian after being recommended to him by a friend , he always made me feel safe and comfortable during our lessons and he always explained things in a way that made it easy for me to grasp and understand. I always looked forward to my lessons with Ian as not only was it a step closer to my full license it was also a good laugh. I feel like most instructors teach you how to pass your test but Ian taught me how to drive safely on the road and if I ever got too stressed out in the lesson he would always calm me down and help me which I am especially grateful for as I suffer from bad anxiety. I would recommend Ian as an instructor if anyone is looking to learn how to drive.
Thank you Ian!

My mum chose Ian as my driving instructor after reading his reviews and his qualifications. I can honestly say that I enjoyed my lessons with Ian and he made everything understandable. I always felt confident enough to ask Ian if I didn’t understand, and he would find a way to explain it differently so that I would. He never got angry or shouted at me, but always remained calm and built my confidence. He remained flexible to fit in with my schedule and he never let me down with lessons and was always on time/early. I felt confident when I went for my test, and I passed first time. I would highly recommend Ian for anyone looking to drive. Thank you so much for your help Ian.

I recently passed my driving test, and I couldn’t have done it without Ian.

After being with three different instructors before Ian, I can confidently say that he excelled in building my confidence and helping me progress where i felt other instructors simply were unable to.

Ian is an incredibly honest and sincere driving instructor who is truly committed to helping his students succeed. He has a very professional demeanour and always remains calm and composed, even when I made serious or dangerous mistakes.

Ian never shouts, instead, he deals with errors in a patient and understanding manner, making sure you learn from them.

He is also highly focused on achieving your goals and is willing to go the extra mile to ensure you’re confident and ready not only for your test but for driving even long after that.

I highly recommend Ian to anyone looking for a driving instructor who is professional, supportive, and genuinely invested in your success.

Thank you for everything Ian - You are simply the best. Best wishes, Shamsa.

Ian often said to me that driving isn’t a skill that somebody is born with, however it’s hard to believe it’s a skill that Ian wasn’t born with! Starting lessons with Ian, I was incredibly nervous and a very anxious driver.
I used to be so scared when my previous instructor used to pick me up, Ian was incredible, always arriving early and often dropping me off later than my scheduled time, Ian was so patient with me, and listened to what I had to say about how I was feeling.
The way Ian explains things makes them simple to understand and it was made very clear to me when I started off that no question was a stupid question, taking a lot of that fear away immediately when on lesson that I could ask for help whenever I needed it. It was also lovely just having a chat and getting to know Ian himself! It was truly lovely and relaxing when driving.
I cannot explain how thankful I am to have been taught by Ian, and to have had somebody so patient, understanding, reassuring and kind to guide me through passing my driving test.
Now I will always have Ian’s voice in my mind when I drive… “think safety!!”
Road Light Driver Training was 100% the right move, I couldn’t reccomend them enough.

The end of Jan, I began learning with Ian after seeing reviews online. I had never drove a car before that I can 100% say from my first lesson to now passing first time with 0 faults, Ian is one of the best instructors any new driver could look for.

Always on time (if not earlier) every lesson spent we built up my skills and went over lessons I struggled with till I was happy which got me here! From the start, Ian was friendly, making lessons enjoyable and fun so when I did make mistakes he’d never shout but was patient and helped me improve by demonstrating in various ways (apps, watching him first, and even a Lego model)!

Ian stands out from other instructors as he teaches you how to adapt your driving to real life situations instead of test standard which made me a really confident driver when on the road and knowing I was in control when parking in tight spaces.

At the end of each lesson we also recalled what I did and made me independent by asking me what I’d say to someone who didn’t know about what we learnt which made me use my initiative and knowledge. I honestly couldn’t recommend Ian enough! Everything he offers is worth the money and I will be back to do a motorway lesson soon!

Thank you for never doubting me and always believing me even when I was hard on myself when lessons didn’t go as well in my head, I couldn’t of done it without you Ian!

Ian was a brilliant instructor for me, as I have had 2 other driving instructors before him and they were not teaching me in the way that I needed and always felt like they were taking down to me instead of guiding me to help me understand what I needed to do, they were just telling me even if I didn’t understand what they meant, Ian was different and we would talk about what I was struggling with and would find a way to explain it in a way that I can understand, then he would ask me to explain it back and then we would have a go and would ask how I felt and what I wanted to try to get things right. Ian always made me think about how I could improve myself rather than just telling me to do things. Ian never let me down with lessons time was never wasted every lesson was a productive lesson, Today I passed my test first time and would highly recommend him as an instructor who really cares about his pupils and understands what people need to help them to also pass. I will definitely be having motorway lessons with Ian as all lessons are fun.
Thank you Ian for everything I couldn’t of done it without you

I had two other driving instructors before I started with Ian, and I can honestly say I found Ian to be better than the other two. I found he was calmer and patient, explaining things well to me. I felt comfortable enough to ask him questions on things I was unsure about. He was good at picking up on where I needed to make improvements and this helped me make faster progress and grow in confidence. He also never let me down with lesson times and was very punctual. I feel as if it was value for money. I passed my test with my first attempt and would recommend Ian to anyone looking for instructors in Bolton. Thanks, Ian. Callum.
