Automatic Driving Lessons. A Driving Test Pass = More Opportunities !

Take the stress out of learning to drive, automatic vehicles are much easier to drive than manual transmission vehicles, no more worrying about stalling the car in busy traffic, or have you selected the correct gear, you can just concentrate 100% on the important aspects of driving including steering, accelerating, slowing down the car, whilst spending more time planning on what’s going on outside of the car, therefore arriving at the approaching hazard at the correct speed.

The car takes care of the correct gear for you.

It should be noted that when you pass your automatic driving test, you can’t drive a manual car and would need to do a manual test to do so.

Automatic Driving Lessons are available in a Dual Controlled Hyundai Kona EV.

At City Way School of Motoring, we believe that you, the client dictates the way your driving lessons proceed.

Everyone learns in many ways and to learn to drive is no different.

Everyone taking driving lessons will learn to drive at their speed.

At City Way School of Motoring, we understand this and will therefore tailor your driving lessons to your requirements.

We will help you master the controls of the car, build your confidence, and teach you to drive safely with a skill for life so you can pass your driving test with ease, as many of our past clients who pass their driving test 1st time.

Sophie O’gorman

My experience learning to drive with City Way has been amazing. I started off as a VERY nervous driver and had gone through 2 instructors because of this. Gary was extremely patient and explained things in a way that made sense, taking the time to make sure I fully understood. When I made mistakes, he never made me feel stupid for making them, which drastically improved my confidence.

Feedback was never negative, always helpful and constructive with a positive outlook. I’ve found that Gary doesn’t just teach you how to pass your test, but also how to drive safely and confidently once you pass. Lessons covered a wide range of scenarios, and feedback was always detailed, which gave me the best chance of passing my test. He’s very professional both in the way he teaches and communicates, for example when booking lessons over the phone, and I would have to strongly disagree with some of the reviews written that state otherwise.

I cannot recommend City Way enough, I’ve gone from not being able to drive over 5mph to passing my test and (most importantly) had fun in doing so! :)

Henry Freeman

I was able to pass my test first time, thanks to the support I was being provided with whilst learning to drive.

Gary was always happy to help me with any problems or questions I had regarding driving outside of lessons, too.

I would definitely recommend City Way School of Motoring and Gary as an instructor.

Christian Omango

I have just passed my driving test for the first time.

I got a lot of guidance and help from my instructor, Gary, which I will not forget.

I have an older sister looking to start their lessons soon, and Gary will be my first recommendation to her!

Bryan Osborn

Strict instructor, but very good and precise to the point. Good teaching methods.

Paul Fordham

Gary is a really warm and friendly instructor, very patient at all times.
He is very prompt and timely. His breadth of experience and knowledge is amazing of Medway towns. Thanks Gary for everything 5 Stars!!!

Mitch Finch

Great instructor, great at his job and he’s easy to learn with. Passed 1st time thanks to him.

Sam Ellett

I have just finished my third lesson with Gary. From the first lesson, he made me feel at ease, and his manner and instructions were clear and direct.
I think that is what you need to learn and re correct your mistakes I highly reccomend Gary as a driving instructor.
Thanks, Gary (Top Man)

Ansen Coothen

Was hard on me at first, But I understand why? he was tough..

Great teacher,  thank you for making me a safe driver.

I passed first time .😎 ..the hard part is when your on your own without Gary.

Thankyou again.

Caitlin Jefferies

As someone who was super nervous about my driving test and driving, after learning with Gary I felt more confident which allowed me to pass my driving test first time.

I made mistakes in almost every lesson but Gary always helped me to realise how to resolve the errors and drive both confidently and safely.

I am so excited to start driving independently which has been a goal of mine for a long time and I almost didn’t think it would happen when I first started my driving journey

edit –

I got out in my car for my first solo drive and loved it. It’s scary that I can go wherever I want and not rely on Ubers or buses. I can finally prioritise training for my running, by taking myself to my run routes.

Oliver Mepstead

I came to Gary having failed two tests with a previous instructor, and I went with an intensive course.

I passed with no minors in a matter of weeks, a lovely service and very good teaching styles and taking time to explain and being very calm and patient

I would 100% recommend to anyone.

Hannah Martin

Gary took the time to explain things properly and encouraged me to think for myself.

I find that the driving lessons at City Way School of Motoring, are more methodical and much better at encouraging independence than had previously been achieved with my previous Driving Instructor.

I will be recommending Gary and City Way School of Motoring to my friends, as I feel that I’m learning a lot in each and every driving lesson, that i’m being continually challenged and pushed, to develop my skills further.

Daniel Morison

I had no prior experience with driving and was quite anxious about learning. After lessons with Gary, I passed with just one minor.

All lessons are recorded to help address problem areas, the car itself is quite pleasant to drive, and practical tests are booked through Gary himself, which made life a bit easier.

He was happy to provide extra lessons to focus on weak points (like driving for 2 hours around a roundabout!) as well as before the test itself, and tailored the lessons to best suit me, like allowing me a warm-up period, as I couldn’t get any driving practice in between lessons”

If you want to follow in Daniel’s footsteps, call Gary on 01634 420103 to take the next step to pass your driving test.

Julian Fitz

Being an older learner driver, I was quite nervous learning to drive and struggled with anxiety.

Gary was absolutely incredible, He went out of his way to educate himself on how to approach lessons with someone who suffers with anxiety and adjusted each lesson to accommodate my needs.

Not only is Gary a very good driving instructor who aims to make you a safe and responsible driver, he is also a very kind, caring and genuine person. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Mascott Ayere

Awesome! Job, I am very impressed; I passed the first time. I highly recommend Gary. He is One of the best driving instructors. Mascot

Ben Harridge

Great for learning to drive. The lessons are very well structured as they are made to help you whatever your level of competency.

I found that the demonstrations provided by the instructor were very useful as they showed me not only how to do something, but why I was doing it.

The instructor is very friendly and understanding if you have a problem with any aspect of driving. I would definitely recommend this instructor to others.
