I started as an absolute beginner and sat for the first time behind the wheel with Martin. I was super nervous and anxious, but the good thing about Martin is he keeps his calm and knows what he is doing. And in no time I was driving on the road (under his supervision or my friends). I booked my DDC with him as well, and learnt a lot about hazards, risks and driving conditions etc. For me the best part of doing this course is knowing that what I am doing is right and not feeling pressured by the cars behind/around me. I feel I have better understanding of the road code and driving conditions that helps me make better decisions while I am driving. I would totally recommend taking lessons with Martin and doing the Defensive Driving Course.

Martin is a fantastic driving instructor - very calm, approachable, and structured in his coaching. I was a very anxious adult driver but after my lessons and the defensive driving course I feel much more confident, capable and safe behind the wheel. Working with Martin was well worth the investment and his teaching background shines through with very effective teaching methods. I passed both my restricted and full tests with no errors and greatly attribute this to Martin’s coaching. Thank you, Martin!

Martin is an amazing driving instructor. He is very patient and hels you learn fantastic skills for being a safe driver. I passed my full test today and thanks to Martin, the test was just a piece of cake. Highly recommend him.

Martin helped me pass my restricted license and after completing a defensive driving course a couple of months ago I have now passed my full license. Many thanks for your guidance throughout these experiences and helping me feel more confident.

Martin is a great example of a genuine helpfull understanding person who is very knowledgeable about what he does and what is required to be the best most alert driver possible. Thankyou for all your help passed my full license with flying colors and will be recommending you to freinds and family.

I took an hour long lesson/refresher instruction drive with Martin the day before sitting my full drivers licence test last week. So happy I did, as I passed with zero errors! Even as a confident and experienced driver, I definitely credit Martin for a large part of my confidence during the test, and the ability to pass with a 100% score. He provided feedback on basic driving habits I already had, provided some pointers, and helped me to refine my knowledge of what to expect in the licence test. I highly recommend! :)

A. S.

I'd failed my restricted twice and gone through a few driving instructors before Martin. I credit his methodical and practical teaching techniques with passing my third try with flying colours! He has made me a far more aware driver and I remember things he taught me every time I drive. I really appreciate that he aims for best driving practice, rather than "enough to pass the test" . I have had a lot of anxiety about driving in the past but was always comfortable driving with Martin. I would recommend him to anyone!

Martin is very approachable, patient, fun and calm. When driving, you don’t feel under pressure with Martin. I had Gained a lot knowledge within a 1 hour session that i wasn’t aware of on the road. Martins teaching methods have helped me to overcome that barrier of low confidence and i am feeling ALOT more confident to go for my test. Best instructor so far! Highly recommended for anyone. Thanks Martin

I just passed my practical driving test yesterday for my restricted license. Not mentioning, it's my first take. Martin is an amazing instructor. He believes in the capabilities of his students. He is very professional, patient, and accommodating. He always respond to my messages and always willing to help. Driving is my biggest fear and Martin played a big part to overcome that fear. Thank you so much Martin. Stay blessed.

Martin helped me over come my nervousness and gave me the confidence and guidance to pass my restricted first time. He always assured me I'd be fine and taught me so much. I highly recommend him for driving lessons.

Martin is an incredible, observant and professional teacher! Even if you think you are ready for your test book a quick lesson with Martin - you will realise you need it! He gives great tips and advice to improve your driving skills. I’ve had a few different driving teachers and Martin was definitely the best, thanks Martin :)

K. K.

I cannot thank Martin enough for his help and support. He is an incredibally patient instructor and makes you feel really relaxed and comfortable when driving. As an incredibly nervous and anxious older driver, he was able to put my mind at ease and allowed me to progress at my own pace. I have had lessons with other instructors but felt most comfortable with Martin. I was able to pass my restricted on my first go! Thank you again Martin for your excellent coaching and support. Looking forward to doing a defensive driving course in the near future.

B. D.

Excellent teacher, couldn't recommend more! Martin made what was initially a very daunting task for me feel safe and fun. He was always very patient and communicated each lesson in a way that was easy to understand. All lessons were effectively planned out and organised to meet my particular needs, meaning I always went home feeling like I had made progress in my learning. I cannot thank Martin enough for his skills and knowledge that allowed me to pass my restricted test on the first attempt!

Martin is an amazing instructor, he is very patient, knowledgeable and very good at explaining things to his students. I started as a complete beginner with him at the start of this year, and now I just got my restricted! 100% recommend!!!

Thanks to Martin, I was able to pass my restricted test on the first try. We packed a lot into each lesson and I could see my improvement each time. Martin helped me build my confidence when driving and I'm really grateful for his help.

I attended a defensive driving course before sitting my Full licence test. I found the course very informative, beneficial & helpful when preparing for the Full licence test. The practical session was very helpful as Martin showed me what I was doing well & what I needed to work on before sitting the test. Thanks to Martin's help I passed my Full licence test on my first sit. I highly recommend this driving school for driving lessons as well as defensive driving courses.

A. W.

Martin is such an excellent teacher and really connects to the class on a personal level. Really cool guy too! Definitely recommend the defensive driving course with him as it is extremely helpful with all aspects of driving and his teaching style makes everything about it interesting :)

J. S.

Martin is a great guy and the course was really fun and informative. Would highly recommend to anyone if they haven't done it already. Even if you already have your full license, it would be a really good thing to do as you will learn so much more about everything.

C. M.

I highly recommend Martin as a driving instructor. He helped me gain so much confidence with driving and has the patience of a saint. Passed my restricted the first time around thanks to him!

I recently completed the REDS Defensive Driving Course, and I'm so glad I did. Martin uses a good curriculum from the AA and makes it great by engaging you in the learning. His school teaching background is proof that he has a knack for teaching skills in a way learners of any style or age can appreciate. The practical session is a valuable opportunity to get personal insights about your driving style from someone who really understands driving. Taking the course opened my eyes to several aspects of my driving that needed attention. I would recommend Martin and the REDS Defensive Driving Course to drivers of any age and stage of the licensing journey.

Martin was an amazing instructor, I actually had fun on this course and learnt a lot! My friends always said defensive driving was boring but obviously they hadnt had the Martin experience. Very engaging, very interesting, incredibly helpful and kind.

J. C.

Martin was a great instructor ans made my lessons very comprehensive and effective, I only had three lessons total, but, they were all key in me getting my restricted lisence!

S. F.

Martin is a fantastic tutor, key aspects In the course allowed me to fly through my full license. If you take yours and other road users safety seriously then this course is essential. I'm now a contract courier driver, so Martin, thanks man.

Martin is a excellent teacher and an overall great guy. The defensive driving course was really helpful, informative, and fun. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to become a better driver.

Martin is super nice, supportive and easy going! I have learnt a lot from him. The lessons are very interactive and we always discuss in small groups, which brings much more fun. An excellent experience here. Highly recommended!

Martin is an excellent instructor and I really appreciated his feedback. It made me feel a lot more confident for my test. I would highly recommend Martin.

100% recommend this course not only does it cut 6 months of your licence time but you leave with a complete new outlook to your driving! I learnt things I never knew before and I will definitely be taking it to the road 😊 Martin is truely great!

Organised lectures and driving assessment. Lectures start on time and end on time. They stick to the schedule. 100% detailed assessment during driving assessment. I attained all lectures continuously, and did all written and online exercise he asked me to do. When I got 100% in online exercise i was more confident in my driving. Because of solving all exercises and Martin's (teacher) advice on driving skills, helped me to get 100% in my first restricted driving test. I made zero errors in my test. My examiner was amazed with it. Thanks to Martin's Real Experience Driving School's Defensive Driving Course. I believe that you can also pass restricted driving test with 100% on your first attempt. Just join Defensive Driving Course at Real Experience Driving School, Palmerston North, and do what Martin asks you to do. Best of luck! Thanks!

R. S.

Wonderful wonderful teacher, great communication and very very welcoming. Had a great time with him in lessons and learnt alot. He really helped me know just what was needed to pass the test while also being very fun to learn from. 100% would reccomend to anyone in the area.

This course just goes to show, you can always teach an old dog new tricks. 17 years driving and still learnt something new on the final day. Unbelievably laid back course and didnt feel like a boring waste of 2 hours each time. The rewarding treats were always welcomed. It's been a pleasure Martin. Thank you!

I learnt a lot from the Defensive course. Martin is a professional and patient instructor. I got my full licence successfully in a week after I finished the course.

A. N.

Martin really helped me sharpen my skills for my restricted license test. He was an amazing tutor in all aspects of driving.

J. G.
