"Lee was always extremely patient, supportive as well as making a calm and comfortable environment. Especially with college and work it was important for me to have a flexible instructor, and Lee always took this into account, especially when it came to around the time of my test when i was hoping for more of his time. I would like to say a huge Thankyou to Lee for all of his time and commitment to his job, and helping me pass first time :)"

Emma
" When I originally started learning to drive I decided to choose a well known driving school, I found it incredibly impersonal and as if they were holding me back to earn more from my student loan. Until I found Passlee where the lessons where affordable and had a real personal friendly touch, it was wonderful to have an instructor who took the time to understand his students and what their individual learning styles were. I gained confidence with every lesson and instead of just passing my test I learnt how to drive."
Haylea
" I had only had 6 lessons with Lee, after failing my driving test twice (not with Lee), but these 6 lessons, were the more funniest times of my life. Lee is a brilliant instructor, who is really relaxed and laid back, but is focused on the job and helped me to succeed and pass! With a quirky personality, it's hard not to love him and he defiantly makes the lesson fly so fast! "
Dan
" I have had a great time with Lee who makes every lesson not only useful and educational but fun aswell. There is no doubt he ensured I passed 1st time!! "
Olivia
"I found the lesson's through a friend, they were recommended. Lesson's with Lee.. The car was nice to drive, instruction was easy to follow with a relaxed atmoshere, if there were area's of weakness they were practiced until test standard. Lee is understanding if you are struggling with a particular section, and they were a good price."
Amelia
" Learning to drive with Lee was one of the best things i could have done. He always makes you feel confident even when you cut people up and nearly kill him :) which is good. But seriously Lee has a really laid back attitude, but also puts you straight when you are going wrong. Which makes learning with him not only effective, but fun at the same time. I passed, and intend to do my pass plus with him. Book a lesson with him while you can!!! You WILL NOT regret it! "

"Choosing PassLee Driving School to teach me to drive was a brilliant choice. Lee's lessons were excellent! Well -structured, very good fun but most of all you left each one feeling like you were one step closer to passing your test and being a driver.

"I tried two instructors before finding PassLee Driving School online and each of the told me I would have to have 30 lessons before I could pass. With PassLee I was up to pass standard within just 15 lessons because of the relaxed and individual nature of the lessons. For me personally it was the best fit for me to learn how to drive and pass as soon as possible"

In normal circumstances. The safest way to brake is to do so early and lightly. Brake more firmly as you begin to stop. Ease the pressure off just before the vehicle comes to rest to avoid a jerky stop.
In an emergency. Brake immediately. Try to avoid braking so harshly that you lock your wheels. Locked wheels can lead to loss of control.
Skids. Skidding is usually caused by the driver braking, accelerating or steering too harshly or driving too fast for the road conditions. If skidding occurs, remove the cause by releasing the brake pedal fully or easing off the accelerator. Turn the steering wheel in the direction of the skid. For example, if the rear of the vehicle skids to the right, steer immediately to the right to recover.
ABS. If your vehicle is fitted with anti-lock brakes, you should follow the advice given in the vehicle handbook. However, in the case of an emergency, apply the footbrake firmly; do not release the pressure until the vehicle has slowed to the desired speed. The ABS should ensure that steering control will be retained, but do not assume that a vehicle with ABS will stop in a shorter distance.
Brakes affected by water. If you have driven through deep water your brakes may be less effective. Test them at the first safe opportunity by pushing gently on the brake pedal to make sure that they work. If they are not fully effective, gently apply light pressure while driving slowly. This will help to dry them out.
Coasting. This term describes a vehicle travelling in neutral or with the clutch pressed down. It can reduce driver control because
The Driver and the Environment. You MUST NOT leave a parked vehicle unattended with the engine running or leave a vehicle engine running unnecessarily while that vehicle is stationary on a public road. Generally, if the vehicle is stationary and is likely to remain so for more than a couple of minutes, you should apply the parking brake and switch off the engine to reduce emissions and noise pollution. However it is permissible to leave the engine running if the vehicle is stationary in traffic or for diagnosing faults.
