“Ricky was absolutely superb as my instructor. He managed to fit loads of lessons for me at all sorts of different timings including 7:30 am and 8:00 pm! What a legend! My girlfriend who I brought along to a lesson says he was an awesome guy to have as an instructor! I would recommend him to any of my mates as technically, there is no one better! But beware, when he goes silent Ricky ain’t happy haha, and also make sure he has breakfast!! If you listen to him and his instructions you will be fine! Thanks so so so much!”

“I received driving lessons for 17th birthday as a surprise gift and to be honest my parents couldn’t of picked a better instructor. I feel as though I am learning the importance of driving and having fun at the same time. Ricky has made me feel very comfortable in the driving seat and I feel confident that I will pass my test when I’m ready. He even teacheskk theory on an IPAD during our break. I just want to give a quick thanks to Ricky for his time and perseverance.”

–  Connor Perra, Sydenham.

“Ricky is a top class instructor who got me the only result I needed first time. A PASS!
Very methodical in his teaching and explains everything you need to learn clearly to make your lessons a calming experience but full of knowledge. I would recommend him without a doubt to anyone I know who needs to learn to drive.”

Before my lessons with Ricky, I only had basic previous driving knowledge, he quickly brought me up to speed with where I left off as well as making me feel at comfort behind the wheel. Very friendly, big character and easy to get on with, highly recommended for first time drivers as well as previous drivers.”

“Before my lessons with Ricky I had no confidence in myself in or around cars. Very helpful and easy to talk to if you struggle. Now I’m more confident in everything I do. Highly recommended”

Lessons from Driving School: 7 Skills for Safe Driving

by Leave a Comment

A lot of young people are not listening when they are in driving school, that’s a very boring process for them and they can’t wait to seat in the car and drive away, but listening is very important part of becoming a good driver!

1. First and the most important skill in my opinion is FOCUS, yeah, you need to stay focused while driving. How many times have you seen people eating, texting and even applying makeup while driving but guess what you are increasing your chances to be involved in a car accident while doing this things. So people stay FOCUSED!

2. Also very important thing, you should not be in your car if you’re not feeling good or if you’re tired, we’re back at the first skill, your focus is much lower when you are exhausted and you can be the cause of the car excited. How many times did you hear that someone has fall asleep while driving and we all know what happened after that. If you are tired and not feeling so good don’t drive, stay at home, it’s safer for you and the other drivers!

3. This maybe sounds funny but slow driving can be also dangerous, sometimes is more dangerous than a fast driving so go with the flow, drive like the others are driving in your line and there will be no problems!

4. There are lot of ways to prevent an accident, making yourself visible is also one of them, I’m sure that you have heard that an accident occur because the driver didn’t see the other car so making yourself visible is also a very important thing to remember if we’re speaking of the safe driving. Turn signals, headlights, brake lights, there are lot of ways to make yourself visible on the road!

5. Of course, I bet you see this one coming, if you want to be safe driver on the road you need to familiarize yourself with the traffic rules. Yeah, there’s a lot of traffic rules but it’s not that hard from time to time to refresh your memories about road signs and traffic laws.

6. Once or twice a year you need to inspect your car because no matter how careful you are, if your car is not working well you can be a danger on the road. So, don’t forget to take a care of your car!

7. Last but not least, you need to be aware that there will always be the people who are driving very aggressively so if you see someone is changing the lines or driving too fast don’t need to panic just stay in your line and try to maintain your speed, that’s the best thing you can do in this kind of situations!

“Wow what a journey! Ricky has single handedly taught me to drive from scratch!
Patient and professional throughout, he has a unique style of coaching and really accommodates you as an individual. No matter what obstacles appeared along the way Ricky empowers you to overcome them. Having now passed I feel not only competent but confident in my abilities. All in all I would definitely recommend Yes U Can Driving School to anyone wanting to learn from scratch or improve on their current abilities. Ricky has definitely become a friend.”
