Dave Williams – DLA Driving School

1000% recommend Dave! I started driving lessons with him during Dec'24 and passed first time in May'25. He is a really calm, patient and understanding guy so makes you feel at ease every step of the way. I felt very prepared for the test so am very thankful to Dave for his time, expertise and knowledge as couldn't have passed without him :)

In addition to my previous instructor bailing out on me last minute, I found his lesson style disappointing in retrospect. However, Dave was fantastic! He was very patient, knowledgeable, and made learning easy and stress-free. Lessons were well-structured with a strong focus on safety and real-world driving. He made manoeuvres seem easy with clear instructions and practical tips. The car was always clean and comfortable, and thanks to his guidance, I passed my test within a month of lessons and on my first attempt with him as my instructor. Highly recommend!

Dave Williams was a fantastic instructor and built my confidence up and taught me how to drive safely. Would absolutely recommend!

I started taking driving lessons with Dave Williams just over a year ago, opting for automatic as I felt it was the best choice for me. At 40 years old, learning to drive was important to me, and I'm so glad I chose Dave as my instructor.

From the very beginning, Dave helped me through the entire journey. He assisted me with my theory questions and answered any concerns I had, truly guiding me every step of the way. Dave is extremely professional and provides a great car to learn in. He was very patient and knowledgeable, quickly understanding the way I needed to learn, especially since I found it quite challenging at first. His approach made all the difference.

I was consistent with my lessons, and as my test date approached, I arranged extra lessons with Dave, which proved invaluable. He went above and beyond, helping me with the "show me, tell me" questions and making additional time for me when I needed it most.

I highly recommend Dave--he's a genuinely nice guy, very knowledgea...

I started with Dave in November (2023) after not driving for 6 years and lacking confidence.

Dave made me feel comfortable straight away and shared his wealth of knowledge.

I passed with only one driving fault (6/8/24), thanks to Dave. He is the best instructor that I have had. Highly recommend.

I have had many driving instructors in the past and had a long history of failing driving tests and not feeling confident behind the wheel. Dave made sure I knew what I was doing and that I felt at ease. Very patient and kind. Best instructor I have had hands down. Would recommend him to anyone. Passed my test with him first go with no minors!

I passed my test today after learning with Dave Williams from DLA he was very calm, friendly and made you feel very relaxed I will definitely be recommending him to friends and family in the future! Thank you again Dave

I am so grateful to have Dave as my instructor. All I can say is he is very kind and very patient. I had previously had lessons with a different instructor but Dave was fantastic in identifying my issues and helped me rectify it. I can't thanks Dave enough for help and support and won't mind him recommending to everyone

Dave Williams is an excellent instructor. He is very knowledgeable, always on time and has a lovely relaxed manner when teaching. He massively built my confidence with driving and I felt so calm and safe with him. I couldn't recommend Dave more.

Dave is an amazing instructor and person. Always calm, can clearly explain everything in an understandable way. Would recommend to anyone!

I learnt to drive with Dave W and passed first time. He was a great instructor who was calm, patience, encouraging and clearly explains all aspects of driving step by step which gave me the confidence to keep up with my lessons.
I was very anxious about driving but Dave W helped me by allowing me to learn at my own peace and never rushing me even if some aspects of driving took me longer to learn.
I would definitely recommend Dave W to anyone who wants to learn to drive.

Dave from the first lesson made me feel at ease. I was nervous as I had previously tried to learn to drive when younger. He was always calm and this definitely made my learning to drive experience more enjoyable.
