Phil has helped me a lot from first getting into the car to passing my test. He can always stick a smile on my face and has supported me through it all.

Amy Hilditch - FIRST TIME PASS
Thank you so much Phil. You have taught me so much and given me the confidence I lacked.

I will really miss your company, jokes and banter. I hope you pass on the same experience to others because I’ve had such a good time.

I never thought I’d pass first go, but you made it happen!!!

I hope to see you soon and I will be recommending you all the way!

Cheers a million. Amy xx

 

 

Brett Gillborn
Each lesson has been a pleasure. During the first driving lesson I couldn’t see myself in this position today!

Only 3 minors and that’s all down to your hard work and making the lessons as fun as possible.

Thanks Phil, you’re the best!

 

 


 

Stephen Sheehan - FIRST TIME PASS
I started driving 9 years ago and had 20 hours of lessons and just couldn’t get it!

Twenty two hours with Phil and I passed FIRST TIME!

I honestly couldn’t have passed without Phil instructing me! Thanks a million! 

 

Stacey Aldridge – FIRST TIME PASS
I passed first time with just 8 minors.
Learning with Phil was fun and efficient, lots of learning and lots of laughs.

 


 

Lee Staples – First Time Pass
Phil is an extraordinary driving instructor with an exceptional sense of humour and a brilliant personality.

I can’t imagine learning to drive with any other tutor or driving school; the LDC system is an easy to follow course with outstanding 24 hour help inside – as well as – outside the car, to which I strongly recommend the book and the DVD.

Phil makes you laugh and smile with his jokes (while still reminding you to keep your eyes on the road) and is easy to get along with. I would strongly recommend Phil to any person who wanted a fun driving experience and pass first time.

Thank you Phil for helping me gain the confidence to drive and learn to enjoy my driving. I will be keeping in contact and hopefully will see you soon for Pass Plus.

Hope the pass rate keeps on increasing and once again, thanks for everything.

Luke Abbott – FIRST TIME PASS
Thanks Phil, learning to drive with you has been a really enjoyable experience, I’ll certainly miss the jokes and the good times we have had.

The LD system worked very well and helped me to pass, I not only learnt in the car but at home as well.

Thanks for all the help Phil

Hayley Delf- First Time Pass
Two week intensive course
Wow, what a 2 weeks it has been on the LDC semi-intensive course! I have never laughed so much in my life to be precise :) Now I’ve passed, here comes the gin racer in me! Ha ha just kidding! Thanks for everything Phil, you’re the best!

 

 

 

 

 

Leah Homer - First Time Pass
First test, 6 minors = PASS!!
Thanks Phil, you made learning to drive fun and relaxed. You always put me at ease, having the same twisted sense of humour probably helped!

It really helped using the LD system of learning as I continued to learn at home as well as in the car. Thanks again Phil, stay in touch xXx.

 

 

 

 

 

Joseph Crouch
Phil has been a brilliant instructor, very patient and understanding, always ready with words of advice.

I found Phil’s method of teaching very easy to understand while keeping it light-hearted and fun.

Phil has a terrific sense of humour and always managed to get me laughing, though at the same time keeping things down to earth.

Thanks for everything Phil; I look forward to recommending you to everyone. 

 


Lucy Hooper

Thank god I passed eh?
I’m going to miss ya, maybe we can go car racing? (Just kidding).

Look after yourself. Lucy xx
 

 

 

Bradley Anderson - First Time Pass
Phil is an excellent driving instructor, managing to teach me to drive in under 6 weeks. Thanks to Phil I only got 5 minors in my first and only test. I will recommend Phil to everyone.
 

 

 

 

 

Matthew Wooffitt
Phil is a spectacular driving instructor. I managed to pass my test after having just 22 hours with Phil, and I only got four minors in my test using the skills that Phil taught me.

I will certainly recommend Phil to all of my friends and family. Thank you Phil for helping me to become a qualified driver.

“Well, what can I say? Phil Pattle is an amazing instructor, easy to get along with. He made me laugh, relax and learn all at the same time. He’s an amazing man who I will be recommending to all of my friends and family. Thank you so much Phil. Remember to pop in for a cuppa when you are passing.”

 

 

 

Daniel Dennis - First Time Pass
“Phil is the best instructor I have had. He’s very patient and he always knows how to calm you down. He explains everything in the best possible way so you can understand it easily. I will be using Phil to teach my kids to drive and to pass their driving test. Thanks Phil for all your help, I’ve really enjoyed it.

P.S. I’ll miss the jokes!”

 

 

 

Nathan Forge - First Time Pass
“Phil is an excellent driving instructor and he has taught me a lot. He has a lot of tricks that he has shown me for when I’m doing manoeuvres which make it a lot easier.

Cheers Phil, you’ve been brilliant!”

 

 

 

 

 

Joe Kelt
“Phil is the best instructor you could ask for, he makes sure you understand what you have to do and even if you make a mistake he will have a joke, calm you down and get you to try again. Every lesson is full of jokes which help you relax and he explains everything clearly.

Thanks Phil for all the help and all the laughs.”

 

 

 

 

 

Louise Obrien
“Phil Was definitely the best choice of instructor. He always made learning to drive fun and enjoyable. I will continue to recommend him for years to come.

Thank you for everything Phil, you’ve been amazing.”


 

 

 

 

 

Adam Smith
“Ah, what do I say, I’ve had about 20 hours with Phil and every time I have a lesson we have a laugh and a joke, which really helps because it gets you settled in and helps you to understand all the instruction given.

I've had two instructors but I actually learned to drive correctly with Phil.

Phil is a top bloke and I would not have been able to pass without him.

Thank you for everything Phil.”

Jason Gilliham- First Time Pass
"What can I say, Phil and the LD System of learning are the best thing since sliced bread!

I did a semi-intensive course over two weeks and passed with just 5 minors. The two weeks were some of the best times I’ve had with my clothes on!

You can’t get any better than this guy, he puts you instantly at ease and is very positive and very, very patient.

In some ways I wish I hadn’t passed, I haven’t only gained a driving license I’ve gained a lifelong friend in Phil.

Cheers Mate." 

 

James Napier- First Time Pass
Phil has been both a great laugh and an invaluable asset to passing my test. He instantly puts you at ease and is always positive and friendly. Thanks Phil.
