  • 5 Good stuff

    Driving lessons with Dave are an enjoyable experience. Eating his sweets and discussing a range of topics (but normally football) are equally as important as learning how to move the car. He always manages to find time for a lesson, however full his diary appears. I'm sure his patience (and car) must have been tested as I forgot to slow down for the speed bumps or failed to avoid the potholes but it didn't show. You'll definitely have a great time learning with Dave!

  • 5 Fab Instructor!

    One of the most memerable things about David is his ability to make you smile when the nervs kick in. With the sweets in the glove box and the funny jokes, he helped me pass my test first time. He took me step by step through everything there is to know about driving safely and the Highway Code, and would always make sure I understood everything; and if not he would happily go over something again. He is reliable, flexable, professional and a caring instructor. A pleasure to learn with. Thanks!

  • 5 Brilliant Instructor

    From start to finish David was a funny, professional, punctual, and helpful instructor. He took me through everything very quickly and thoroughly, helping me to pass in ten weeks. I chose him having heard from a friend that he was a good instructor and I'm glad I did. He was always calm and has an impressive collection of sweets in the glove box; what more could you want. Cheers Dave.

  • 5 Excellent instructor

    David is an excellent instructor, he took me through everything i needed to know step by step on a level that was suitable for my learning style. He gave me great revision material for my theory test which i passed first time and even when i failed my first test, he managed to keep me positive and again took me through everything i had done wrong and how i could correct it. Thanks to his guidance i passed on my second attempt. I never felt under any pressure from David and lessons were always relaxed and well humoured; he never once lost his temper and was always calm and helpful. For anyone who wants as much of a great learning experience as i had, go straight to David Barnard. Thanks again Dave!

  • 5 Great instructor, very amusing lessons

    I moved to David after having problems with my 1st instructor. I should have gone with him in the 1st place. I thought I wanted a lady driver but he was so much better. Thanks David, was a pleasure to learn with you. we had some great lessons. See you on the roads.

  • 5 Top marks

    Having heard from many others that David was the best instructor to go for, I got on the phone and booked my first block of lessons. I was pleased to find out that due to David's professionalism, patience, good priced lessons and excellent sense of humour, the rumours were true. From start to finish I felt that I was in a safe pair of hands - David provided me with very useful theory revision materials and top notch teaching, allowing me to progress at a fast pace through my Theory and Practical tests, both of which I passed first time. For a calm, friendly driving instructor who somehow always manages to find time for you, your best choice would be David Barnard.

  • 5 Great guy, great teacher

    I was recommended David as a driving instructor,by numerous people when I was thinking about learning to drive. He's fun, thourough and really proffessional. I really looked forward to my lessons, they were the highlight of my week! He gave me the confidence and the skill I needed and I passed first time with just 3 months of learning. Great guy and a great teacher :) Such a laugh, check him out!

The Snow is back

Written on 01 Dec 2010, 03:20 PM

So I have already lost 3 driving tests and 2 days driving to the snow and ice. Did you know the dsa publish excellent videos and advice on winter driving, with their link on You Tube. So if you have recently passed and will be experiencing winter conditions for the first time, take some time to do some research and driver very carefully.  You can always contact your driving instructor for advice and winter training lessons.

Winter Driving

Written on 05 Nov 2010, 11:12 AM

Some people do say that learning to drive in the winter conditions (dark nights, wind and rain) makes a better driver!  Don't hesitate to start your driving lessons in Horsham or driving lessons in Southwater now, I really believe you can be taught equally as well at this time of year.

Independent driving on the test has bedded in well, giving no additional problems to drivers on their tests.  My drivers will practice this as soon as possible resulting in no surprises on their tets. How have you found it? I would be interested in drivers prefer directions (with the diagram) or following road signs!!

More Driving Lessons News From Horsham

Written on 14 Jul 2010, 06:05 AM

The excellent June weather also saw an excellent number of test passes by my drivers.  From the 10 driving tests taken in June there were 7 passes, so congratulations to all those drivers, hope to see you again for pass plus. July has also started hot on both the weather side and test passes. 2 successes to date, 4 more July tests to come.

I am now looking to recruit learner drivers from Horsham and Southwater and fill my diary over the summer holiday period.  The weather with clear days and long hours make it an excellent time to start your learning. Contact me for details
