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 an amazing driving instructor, He was always so helpful and never pushed past any questions you asked no matter how simple or silly you may think they are he was always able to answer them, he made me feel very at ease while driving and was always making sure i felt comfortable while i was driving. No matter what he always believes in you even when you don’t believe in yourself. Thanks to Paul I pasted my test first time!!
