Daniel's Automatic Driving School
Expertly Trained for a Lifetime of
Safe Driving
Hello, my name is Daniel
I am a Grade A certified Approved Driving Instructor (ADI), offering Automatic driving lessons in York.
I welcome clients from the following postcodes/areas: YO19 5** (only), YO24, YO26, YO30, YO31, YO32
Acomb, Clifton, Dunnington, Haxby, Heworth, Holtby, Huntington, Nether Poppleton, Rawcliffe, Stockton-on-the-Forest, Upper Poppleton, Warthill, and Wigginton.
Driving means...Freedom, Independence, Liberation...you decide!
“Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn”
The way people learn to drive is evolving...an active learning approach is more engaging and interesting for you. It keeps you motivated and ensures you become a fully aware, safe and responsible driver...
'Real driving' skills are an essential part of learning to drive...such as independent route planning and driving; freestyle manoeuvres, drive throughs, filling up, music, driving with passengers, and advanced parking skills.
A summary of the benefits of active learning: enhances your involvement and makes lessons more engaging & fun; you become more responsible for learning and your choices; you will have greater confidence in your own and safe decision-making skills; you will feel much better prepared for driving solo.
If you would prefer the traditional instructor-led way of being taught, then that's fine, just let me know. These are your lessons, you are the client and I will work with you to find out how you learn best.
Whichever approach you decide to use, I will always be aiming to help you become the best and safest driver you possibly can be.
SIGNS YOU SHOULD TAKE REFRESHER LESSONS*
- You have not driven for several years, possibly since you passed your driving test.
- You feel you have inadequate skills for the demands of today's traffic and roads.
- Your confidence has diminished.
- You have acquired bad driving habits.
- You wish to update your knowledge of the Highway Code or do not understand some of the current rules.
- You have finally bought a car, years after learning to drive, but lack the confidence to get behind the wheel.
- Don't worry, help is at hand. It can take as little as one or two refresher lessons to bring clients back up to speed and restore their confidence.

My services / ANNOUNCEMENTS
Unprecedented demand for driving lessons
There is currently a national backlog of several hundred thousand people waiting to take a DVSA driving test. These backlogs are preventing new students starting, therefore demand for driving lessons & tests is at unprecedented high levels.
My waiting list is now full and I have therefore closed it. As I will not have any availability until early 2026, I am not able to take on any new learner drivers until further notice.
I welcome all students to my driving school, especially nervous drivers, being a Certified Driving Test Nerves Specialist through the LOF A WAY 2 PASS scheme.
I provide Automatic driving lessons of the highest quality and can tailor my lessons to the individual needs of my students.
The safe drivers of tomorrow, are the well-taught learners of today
I am a Grade A, DVSA certified ADI, trained in adult coaching and training techniques. I am also an advanced driver with IAM RoadSmart, and a Gold standard advanced driver with RoSPA. The training I give will therefore be of the highest standard.
I have a calm and relaxed demeanour, a vital attribute for doing this work, so rest assured that you have the services of an exceptionally highly qualified driving instructor here in York.
I aim to make every lesson enjoyable and as productive as possible, conducting it in a calm, friendly and relaxed manner. I firmly believe in making all my pupils feel at ease during their driving lessons, whilst having fun learning to drive.
I utilise the latest teaching methods and materials to improve my learners' experience. The terms and conditions I operate, mean that you can be assured of a great customer experience, with you at the centre of activity. This is your guarantee of what you can expect of me.
A background in customer-facing retail, and having previously owned a perfumery business in York, you can look forward to a great experience from a fragrant instructor and car!
My business, Daniel's Driving School, will teach you how to be a confident, safe driver for life, not simply teach you how to pass a driving test.
I hope this has given you a brief insight about me and what you can expect, so please feel free to get in touch!
