Driving Solution - Newcastle upon Tyne

Driving Solution was established in 2007 and began with one car. The company now has a team of handpicked local driving instructors, comprising both male and female instructors. All instructors are approved by DVSA and have undergone DBS checks. Habib Rahman is a DVSA Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) and a driving instructor trainer (ORDIT).

Driving Solution uses new manual and automatic dual control vehicles. Lessons are conducted on a one-to-one basis and use Client-Centred Learning (CCL). A driver training record is provided to monitor progress on every lesson. The company specialises in 1 to 3 weeks intensive driving courses and welcomes nervous pupils. Driving Solution covers Newcastle and surrounding villages.

Passing first time or in a small number of lessons is the theme that comes up most often among reviews of Driving Solution's Newcastle branch on Roeburn Way in Kenton, with pupils repeatedly crediting instructor Thomas for quick progress. A firm but fair teaching style is mentioned again and again, pairing clear technical guidance with the kind of reassurance that builds confidence behind the wheel.

Two accounts refer to resitting a test after losing a licence or a previous setback, with lessons structured to rebuild both driving skill and self-belief in a short space of time. Techniques such as manoeuvres and roundabout handling are said to be explained clearly and in detail, with the focus placed on forming safe habits for life rather than only meeting the pass criteria on the day. Flexibility around lesson scheduling is noted as well, alongside a consistently professional and knowledgeable manner throughout the course.

Intensive tuition is referenced as part of the offering, suiting learners who want to progress quickly rather than over many months. Weekday hours run from eight in the morning until seven in the evening, with Saturday lessons available until six, giving those in Newcastle scope to fit sessions around work or study commitments during the week or at the weekend.
