Feedback
What Learners Say About RoadSpence
I’m from Oxfordshire and had my driving test booked in Bridgend, but my original instructor had to cancel last minute. With less than 24 hours to go, I got in touch with Paul — and I couldn’t be more grateful.
Despite the short notice, Paul was incredibly patient and professional. He took the time to go through all possible routes and gave me clear, honest advice that really made a difference. Thanks to his focused guidance, I passed with only 2 driving faults!
Highly recommended — Paul is a top-notch instructor who genuinely wants you to succeed.

Paul was driving instructor for my daughter Lilly. Paul was incredible throughout the 8 months it took to take her from an absolute novice to pass her test first time in Bridgend. Lilly to be fair was a very emotional student throughout her time with Paul and tears was something he witnessed on a number of occasions, which he dealt with, with both care and professionalism. Thank you Paul for having the care, commitment and skills to get Lilly through her test. I would highly recommend Paul to anybody looking to start their Driving journey

Paul was an incredible instructor for me. He made me feel at ease in every lesson but was also able to challenge when needed. If you’re looking for someone who will teach in depth and answer every tiny question you have then I couldn’t recommend him enough! I passed first time with his help and still hear his words of advice when I’m out driving now.
