"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 :)"

" 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! "

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"

Giving Way
If an obstruction is on your side of the road then it is you who should stop and give way to oncoming traffic. If the right of way is yours then never take for granted that an oncoming vehicle will stop and give way. Always be prepared to stop and give way.

Your Driving Road Position
In normal driving conditions you should position your car in the centre of lane you are driving in. Avoid driving too close to the kerb unless you need make space for on coming traffic.
Passing Parked Vehicles
When passing a parked vehicle you should always try and leave a space of at least the width of an average car door. This is to safeguard against a vehicle unexpectedly pulling out or a car door suddenly opening. Creating this space will also help you see children moving out from between parked cars to cross the road. If such can't be created and you are forced to pass closer to the parked vehicles then reduce your speed and be ready to stop.
When passing a series of parked cars you should maintain a straight path. Don't weave in and out of them. Maintaining a straight path will allow other road users to clearly see your intentions.
Following Traffic
The key questions you should ask yourself when following traffic is:
If the answer is no then you need to slow down and pull back in order to create a safe gap. On a day when the road is dry you can use the two-second rule to show you what a safe gap is considered to be. As the vehicle in front passes an object such as a signpost begin counting. If you reach the same object in less than two seconds you are too close to the vehicle in front. A safe time is two or more seconds.
If the road is wet then the two-second rule becomes the four-second rule as stopping times double in the wet. In icy conditions stopping distance distances are ten times longer.
Following Large Vehicles
When following a large vehicle such as a lorry or coach you should leave extra space between you and it. If you get too close your view past it will be limited and you won't have a clear view of what's happening ahead. This can make overtaking the vehicle very dangerous. The driver of the large vehicle may also have difficult seeing you through his side mirrors. Keeping well back will also protect your windscreen from any spray the large vehicle throws up.
Tailgating
You are being tailgated when another vehicle follows you too closely behind. It is dangerous because if you had to suddenly stop it is likely the vehicle behind would crash into you. If you find yourself being tailgated try not to feel intimidated. For you own safety slow down and increase the gap between you and any vehicle in front. This means that if the vehicle in front slows suddenly you will have plenty of time to react, decreasing the chance of the tailgater crashing into you. It also gives more opportunity for the tailgater to overtake you thus ridding yourself of the problem.
Driving In Traffic Jams
When in slow moving traffic the first rule is, never obstruct an exit or junction, even a left turn. Hold back until the traffic ahead has moved forward far enough for you to clear any exit or junction. When the traffic stops it is always wise to leave a space of 2 to 3 metres between you and the car in front. This way, if the vehicle in front stalls or breaks down you will have enough space to safely manoeuvre past.
