SFD Driving School (Salaria Friends Driving School)

SFD Driving School (Salaria Friends Driving School) is a driving school in Wolverhampton. The instructor is a fully qualified DVSA-approved driving instructor with over 15 years of experience in providing driving lessons and managing a driving school in the UK. The instructor holds a Full ADI Licence and a Fleet Licence, and has been registered with the Driving Standards Agency (DSA) since 2013. The driving school does not use trainee driving instructors and specialises in manual driving lessons only. It prepares learners for DVSA test centres in and around Wolverhampton.

The driving school uses dual controlled cars and has a professional fleet of well-maintained cars equipped for learning and test requirements. It offers local pick-up from the Penn Road area and can recommend other qualified male and female instructors for semi or intensive driving courses. Services include Pass Plus courses, motorway driving lessons, refresher driving lessons, intensive driving lessons, driving theory test training, mock driving tests, fleet driver training, driving test preparation and car hire, nervous driver lessons, and one-to-one lessons and block bookings.

Families in Wolverhampton feature prominently among the accounts left for this driving school, with several customers describing how relatives of different ages have passed their tests after tuition from Rakesh. A theme running through the feedback is his patience and the clarity of his explanations, which reviewers say reduces the stress of learning and helps build confidence behind the wheel. His method is repeatedly praised: mistakes are identified plainly and corrected, and a whiteboard is used to help pupils picture situations and manoeuvres before attempting them.

Punctuality, flexibility around lesson times and steady communication are mentioned alongside the calm, polite manner that pupils credit for steady progress. The practical outcomes stand out just as strongly, with first-attempt passes in Wolverhampton and an extended driving test completed successfully after refresher lessons. Reviewers describe the service as well organised and consistently good value, and many note that the guidance continued right through to test day. Rakesh's friendly, professional approach is the theme that runs through the feedback, with families returning to him for each new driver.
