Hi I pass my driving test today. just want to say thank you so much to Dharmeshbhai he is a wonderful and very friendly instructor.

Passed my test first time with Stephen Trimnell! Absolutely amazing instructor, very balanced, and patient. If you need a driving instructor I couldn’t recommend him enough!!

I just passed my driving test today after having lessons with Dharmesh. I cannot recommend Dharmesh enough, he was patient, friendly, and just an all round excellent instructor. I could tell from the way Dharmesh conducts his lessons that he truly loves to teach and see his students thrive and succeed as drivers, even today after my test I think he was just as happy as I was with the result! His approach to teaching you how to drive is great, I was always at ease when driving and the lessons were very well structured. I have absolutely no complaints and have had the most pleasant experience learning how to drive :)

I booked a two-hour driving lesson, but unfortunately the instructor did not attend. I contacted the instructor by message and phone call with no response. I also called the company twice, and I was told a message would be sent to the instructor, but nobody arrived in the end.
This was very disappointing, especially because I cancelled work opportunities today to attend this lesson. I also have my driving test on the 25th of this month, and this lesson was important for my preparation. It felt like my situation was not taken seriously, and I did not receive any compensation or solution.

I came to driving lessons with constant anxiety, a fluttering chest, and a voice in my head that whispered “you can’t do this.” From the very first session, Louise Chown met me with patience, warmth, and an unwavering belief that progress happens at my pace. She didn’t just teach me how to operate the car; she taught me how to breathe through fear, how to pause, how to reset, and how to show up for myself even when nerves were loud. Each lesson was a gentle blend of skill-building and emotional support: slow introductions to challenging maneuvers, careful pacing, and plenty of encouragement for the small wins. Louise noticed my triggers, offered practical coping strategies, and created a safe space where worries could be spoken aloud without judgment. Thanks to her thoughtful approach, my anxiety gradually loosened its grip, and I began to trust my hands on the wheel and my foot on the accelerator. On exam day, I felt prepared, calm, and capable—no longer governed by fear but guided by confidence. I passed and I owe that victory to Louise Chown, ( Gloucester) an instructor who didn’t rush me, who listened deeply, and who believed in me even when I doubted myself. If you’re carrying anxiety about driving, you deserve an instructor who treats you with this much care and respect. I’m forever grateful.

I was taught by Dharmesh, who was extremely patient with me throughout my lessons and even on the day of my test. I passed yesterday with 0 minors, which is testament to how brilliant he is! 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking to start driving lessons. Dharmesh is simply the best and I cannot praise him enough. Thank you so much Dharmesh for helping me pass!

My daughter recently passed with Paul in Aberdeen approx 6 months of lessons and she passed second time!! She was nervous to have a male instructor but pal put her at ease immediately. He figured out her learning style which really helped her to learn and aided her fast pass. Paul was an exceptional instructor who was always so supportive and encouraging to her. Best driving school in Aberdeen thank you Paul.

It's a good experience with Mr Dharmesh he is very helpful and he teach me all driving skill nicely and he give me a positive confidence about my driving

My son Wilf was taught be Steve Trimell in Bristol. He had a great experience and past first time. Thank you Steve 🙏🏼

Dharmesh is an excellent instructor, taught me everything i needed to know, made me feel prepared and built that confidence within myself. He always gave his all and made sure i perfected everything to a good level, I would 100% recommend being taught by him, i genuinely am so grateful.

Had my first lesson today with Stephen Trimnell and I’ve got to say he’s brilliant, really couldn’t fault him he’s a very understanding instructor I’ve not drove or done lessons in 6 years so I was abit rusty behind the wheel but he put me at ease and guided me threw it with no problems, one thing I will say is he’s very firm but fair! 5🌟’s all round!

I am writing this review on behalf of my son, who had an extremely poor experience with Bennett’s Driving School. Based on what we experienced, I would strongly advise others to avoid them.
My son’s instructor, Dan, repeatedly failed to turn up for lessons on the scheduled day. He would often book the wrong dates and then turn up on alternative days instead, despite being aware of my son’s schedule and commitments. When these issues were raised, Dan would purposely avoid communication, because he thought it would be funny (this was his remark when asked) making it impossible to resolve problems.
This pattern continued over several months.
After months of working towards a planned driving test date, my son was informed less than 24 hours before that the test was being cancelled. Excuses were given, no alternative instructor was offered, and there was no effort made by the company to resolve the situation.
On the day of the driving test, the instructor turned up with further excuses, offered no apology, and showed no accountability. When my son failed the test, the instructor attempted to place the blame on him, despite the fact that no mock test had ever been offered or carried out.
When a new test date was arranged, the instructor again pulled out with more excuses. As a result, my son lost money and valuable time.
This experience appears to reflect wider issues within the company rather than a single individual. The school does not operate in a collaborative or supportive way and seems more focused on taking payment than properly supporting learners.
We were also told by this instructor that:
One older male instructor had behaved in a creepy and inappropriate manner towards young female students and required intervention.
A female instructor frequently cancels lessons due to illness.
Following an earlier issue regarding a potentially cancelled test towards the end of 2025, I requested a call from the owner, Karen. Despite this request, she never contacted me.
Overall, this was a completely unacceptable and unprofessional experience. I would strongly recommend avoiding Bennett’s Driving School.

Had a great learning experience with Stephen Trimnell helped me pass first time and was very knowledgeable

I just passed my driving test. Dharmesh is a calm, polite, patient, and gentle teacher.

During class, when I made mistakes, he always corrected me calmly and peacefully, never embarrassing me. He gave me confidence and made me feel capable. I could feel his genuine desire for my success. Dharmesh is a fantastic teacher, and I would recommend him to everyone. Choose him, and you're guaranteed to pass the test!

I passed my driving test today thanks to Dharmesh. He is an excellent instructor, always patient, supportive, and incredibly knowledgeable. He’s also very reliable, and I had a fantastic experience learning with him.

100% recommended to anyone who’s starting lessons.

Sham Patwal is an excellent and very experienced driving instructor. He’s patient and really great at explaining things clearly, especially tricky stuff like parallel parking and roundabouts, which helped me master them. He helped me fix every little mistake without ever making me feel silly and was always very supportive.He was always punctual, prepared, and made me feel comfortable from the very first lesson. I was really nervous to start driving, but he made it easy to relax and actually enjoy it. Thanks to his support, today I passed my driving test in Basildon on the first try. I’d highly recommend him to anyone learning to drive!

Steve was my sons instructor and was excellent. My son passed 1st time thanks to Steve. He was a great instructor and even though it took such a long time to get a test, Steve was patient and booked my son in once a month so as not to waste money

Instructor Dharmesh Soni
Good teaching and friendly. Always points out mistakes and checks progress throughout lesson

Had a great experience having lessons with Sham Patwal. Passed my test in Basildon today. Sham was always patient and listened to what I wanted to work on. His methods were good and helped me on tricky parts such as roundabouts and parallel parking. Sham was always friendly and made me look forward to driving lessons. Overall, I would highly recommend Bennett’s and Sham.
