Why choose me for your driving instructor?

Mke Palmer Driving InstructorIn 2018, having completed my training and qualified as an ADI, I retired from being a Project Manager in IT and took up driving instructing as a part-time career whilst being semi-retired.

Driving Instructing is not my main source of income. I do it because I enjoy it, not to make money out of you. I am pretty sure my pupils enjoy the lessons too. Taking lessons only 20 hours per week gives me time to offer more than just driving lessons. I take time to prepare each lesson beforehand and provide useful follow-up material afterwards, including dashcam clips for post-lesson review.

As well as preparing you thoroughly for the Practical Driving Test, I offer help with preparation for the Theory Test as well, including free access to Theory Test Pro, a highly realistic online simulation of the UK’s driving theory tests. It contains all the official revision test questions licensed from the DVSA, the people who set the tests.

I am very conscious of the damage that cars make to the environment. When the time is right, I plan to teach in an all-electric car. However, in the meantime I am committed to offset all my mileage emissions by investing in Verified Carbon Standard projects. In July 2019, I offset all the exhaust emissions from January 2018 to July 2019 amounting to 4.582 tonnes of CO2. In July 2020 I offset another year’s worth of exhaust emissions amounting to a further 5.478 tonnes of CO2. Next July, I will calculate my mileage emissions for the year and do the same.

If you live in or around Warminster, Westbury or Frome, and are looking for a calm and patient instructor who will get you that all important driving licence as quickly as possible without costing the earth, then please give me a call.

Five stars go to Mike Palmer Driving School. From the first point of enquiry Mike was polite, helpful and informative and according to our son whilst taking his very first driving lesson the “nicest person and a great teacher”. He was punctual instilling confidence and a sense of achievement and pride in every lesson. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone. Having passed first time and with Tom enjoying his new found freedom - Mike- We think you’re the best! Matt, Cath and Tom Guy - Warminster

I had driving instructor in London before Mike who was very pushy and made me so nervous while driving! When I started my driving lessons with mike I really liked him! (No shouting and yelling) He gave me space to learn on my own and gave tips on the way whenever I made mistake, those tips help me a lot in overcoming my fears while driving. He is very patient and explain things very well! He had very busy schedule but fitted me which was very kind of him to do that! I passed my test with 2 minors and I took Mike with me during the test! If you are looking for a driving instructor I would highly recommend Mike!

Mike is an excellent instructor who teaches you at a pace you’re comfortable with. I started off lacking confidence behind the wheel, but thanks to Mike I am completely confident having passed my test. I highly recommend him!

Only had a few lessons with Mike to help this American driver with the UK practical test, but he was great. A calm demeanour, knowledgeable, who went out of his way to prep me for the test down in Poole. I passed!

Mike has been an excellent driving instructor. His teaching style is brilliant, and helps you focus on what you need to improve on with a clear layed out plan. His calm manner as well is really helpful if you're nervous on the roads. My experience with Mike as my driving instructor has been all round positive, I would definitely recommend
