Richie has been a fantastic teacher. I was a very anxious first time driver who is learning to drive at 30 and Richie has shown patience, understanding and encouragement in every lesson. He very quickly learnt to read the pace that I needed to learn and the best way I would learn. Richie has been a big part in building my confidence and trust in my own ability learning to drive. I have greatly appreciated having my lessons with Richie.

I got my Ps this week, and it was all because I had Tom as my instructor!!! He is truly an amazing instructor as he helped me constructively understand things in a way that I could throughout all of my learner's driving lessons. I felt so prepared when it came to the day of my final drive, as I was more confident and comfortable in my driving abilities, all thanks to Tom!

Hello, I had a great experience learning to drive with Tom C. He was helpful, patient and professional throughout every lesson. He provided clear instructions, and his calm demeanour made me feel comfortable driving with him. I highly recommend Tom.

Out of the instructors I tried over the years of getting my Ls Tom was the best. He was patient with me despite my anxiety disorder and was a joy to learn with. Highly recommended to anyone that wants to learn in an good environment and wants clear directions on how to improve.

Had my first driving class with Tom recently. He was really nice, explained things well, and gave lots of helpful tips to improve my driving.

I thought the course was fantastic and taught me so much about the safety features of my car I knew nothing about. Having gotten my license over 20 years ago it gave me the chance to brush up on my skills and get rid of redundant techniques. Overall I'd say very worth doing and I will definitely recommend where I can.

Thank you for the certificate for Cooper and I just wanted to give you some course feedback. Cooper thought the course was terrific and well worthwhile. He did mention to me during the course he loved the skidpan but also said the theory part was interesting and worthwhile. The small numbers of attendees was brilliant I have to say, although not overly profitable for you guys I assume! Chris was a very good instructor and was most engaging, interesting and informative. Full marks as I cannot fault him! He was also very good with Cooper. Perhaps the most worthwhile part was the braking. Cooper improved hugely during this section and it also rammed home to me to trust the ABS and as Chris says, ‘ try and break the brake pedal in half’ ! I grew up obviously without ABS and wouldn’t think to brake so hard so quick. Cooper halved his braking distance in the end which I guess may save his life one day. It was so good for a young person to do and I couldn’t recommend it enough for pre license people. But I guess this has to be taught in conjunction with changing young people’s (boys!) attitude in preparation to getting their P’s, which Chris did talk about. The stats were a great concern to me as a parent of deaths of people on their P’s, especially in the first 12 months. I guess this proves the L plates training alone is not good enough. Thank you also for taking the time to look into your insurance etc to see if Cooper could do it.

Hi Daniel Just touching base with you now that the training has been completed. I’ve had great feedback from staff attending, so congratulations, awesome work. I would be more than happy to recommend you to other organisations. As discussed could you please send me electronic copies of certificates? Once again thank you for making the organising of the training easy. Kind Regards Anne

Nikita is just amazing. She is super patient and not at all judgemental. I came back to learning after a crash; it took me 36 lessons to get to my Ps but she never made me feel like I was going slow. Her reaction time is amazing (like seriously goals!!!). Also, Nikita is super fun to be around. She made the otherwise daunting experience of driving super bearable and enjoyable for me. Thanks to Nikita for helping me calm my dancing driving nerves. In the next 20 years, I'll make sure my kids take lessons from her. Cheers, Successful Student, Canberra

Just wanted to say thanks so much for the great instruction you gave Zoe and Lulu on Saturday. Please feel free to add the following to your website as a testimonial. I will be recommending you guys to all our friends! See you again in a couple of years when my now-14-year-old has his turn! Super impressed with Fifth Gear's instructors and their defensive driving course. My daughter and her friend were a little nervous ahead of their course, but their instructor Kim put them immediately at ease. His professional but friendly and encouraging manner was perfect for helping them to extend beyond their comfort zone and learn and apply new skills (which they got to try out again during a rainstorm on the way home!). My daughter picked up many valuable tips about safety and driving that I had overlooked passing on to her. I cannot recommend these guys enough.

For the last few months I have been taking driving lessons with your instructor, Tony Prior. I just wanted to send this email to let you know that I had an incredibly positive experience with him and really enjoyed the lessons he gave! He is an incredibly thoughtful person who put a lot of effort into making me feel comfortable. He was a calming presence who used his in-depth knowledge to clearly explain and demonstrate road rules and skills in a comprehensible manner by using diagrams, matchbox cars, steering wheels, and also verbal communication. He took extra time to provide explanations and tips for improvement without being degrading or invoking any sort of stress. I feel that he not only dramatically improved my driving skills, but also my confidence and capabilities on the road. He also took into account my personality and past experiences to adapt the lessons to my needs. I have a lot to thank him for and wanted to pass on this positive feedback to him and the rest of the team. Thanks again for such a great experience with 5th Gear."

Our daughter had lessons with another driving school and had no confidence and felt like the lessons were going nowhere. Fifth Gear came highly recommended by my work colleagues. MacKenzie had lessons with Tristan and we saw her confidence grow instantly. She said he was easy to talk to, and could understand how 'her brain worked' and we are forever grateful that he was able to tailor her training to help her both gain driving confidence and also her P's! - We HIGHLY recommend Tristan, and the Fifth Gear Motoring team, thank you everyone."
