Samantha Bickerstaff
I just want to say a massive THANK YOU to Ruedi for giving me the confidence i needed to pass my driving test and i passed with ZERO minors!! Having previously tried two other drving instructors, i just did not feel comfortable driving and suffered terribly with nerves.However since learning with Reudi he gave me the confidence i needed,my nerves were under control and I started to enjoy driving! Ruedi is so patient,and went over everything until i got it spot on, which is why i achieved my goal of passing with ZERO minors!! I would recommend Ruedi to anyone,he is a Brilliant instructor!!!!

As I turned 17 I was very eager to learn to drive. After hearing good references about Yes!, I decided for them. Their prices were very reasonable and unlike some others, Yes! aims to get you through the test as quick & safe as possible, without having to pay for additional lessons. Three months later I passed my test 1st time. My instructor always had a very calm & cheerful manner helping me to relax and encouraged my confidence. I am very pleased and would rate Yes! Driving School 10 out of 10!

Ruedi's attitude is excellent, he ensured that I was fully prepared for my test adn I have become a contientious and confident driver. I am very grateful for the explanations he has given for any mistake I have made, which has given me a greater understanding of the working of the car and of other road users. Anyone looking for a driving instructor would greatly benefit from Ruedi's guidance
Howard Smith
As an older learner driver - I was really pleased to find such a good driving instructor. Ruedi prepared me well for my test. Ruedi really helped me to focus on what I needed to improve on, and helped me to see how to improve my skills through demonstration and practice. He was very friendly, flexible and the lessons were very personalised, enabling me to make good progress. I was really pleased to pass first time with only three minor errors. What a success! Thank you, Ruedi!
Tammy
I have previously failed my driving test and was very nervous about finally trying again after 3 years. I contacted Ruedi initially looking for a female instructor, however, after speaking with him I decided to give him a go and I am very glad that I did! I gained a lot of confidence and passed my test with 3 minor faults - something I never thought I would achieve. Thank you Ruedi!
Rachel Frigot
I tried driving lessons before with another school and found the experience nerve-wracking and frustrating,focussing too much on irritating, unimportant details. On return from university, I signed up for a semi-intensive course with Ruedi and passed a month and a half later, on my first attempt! Ruedi radiates calm, gives sincere praise and makes you the force behind your own learning. I can't recommend him highly enough!
Guy
I passed my driving test on my first attempt on Friday, with only 5 minors. Thanks to YES! instructors Ruedi and Gary: both great teachers who are very patient and helpful. I would certainly recommend! Danke schoen!

I passed my test first time today 5/11/10 after doing my lessons with YES! Driving School. I have been very nervous throughout this period and my instructor Ruedi has not just helped me to become a more confident driver but also a more confident person in general. Ruedi is a friendly, patient and professional instructor who is sensitive and understanding towards his pupils. If you want to pass first time go with YES!
Georgia Fox
A big big thank you to Ruedi for helping me pass my test first time. After having attempted lessons in the past and hating every minute of it,Ruedi helped me with regaining the confidence I needed with his calm manner and methodical approach. Ruedi never shouts, remains calm and tolerant at all times,offers excellent feedback,and teaches you to drive in a safe environment. Thank you so much again Ruedi!
Anna Ratajczak
I passed my driving test 26/1/11 and had only 2 faults. at the begining i had lessons with Ruedi who is very good instructor then had a chance to meet Alan who also was very helpful. i would recommend Yes! for anyone who wants to take lessons with patient and excellent instructors. Ruedi and Alan thank you very much for your help :-)
Lauren Smith
After being with previous driving schools and instructors, I felt it would take ages until I was finally driving, but having lessons with Alan from Yes! driving school, it completely changed my view on driving and instead of becoming a chore - I learnt to love it, I have just recently passed my test and I couldn't be more grateful to Alan, and would highly recommend him!
David
I have passed my driving test first time thanks to alan and have enjoyed every lesson i have had with him. He is very patient and his style of learning makes you feel calm and stress free. I cant thank him enough and i highly recommend him.

I just wanted to say a huge "Thank You" to Ruedi for helping me to pass my test first time with only 1 minor :) It is more than I ever dreamt of. Ruedi is an excellent teacher, without who I could never have achieved this in such a short amount of time. I would recommend Ruedi and Yes! driving to anyone. Thank you Ruedi !
Sam
I learned with Alan and so glad i did. Was so easy going and wasnt afraid to push you if thats what you wanted. Really awesome bloke and i've recommended hm to people already and i do so if you want to learn. Cheers Alan =)
William John Fieldhouse
thank you alan and yes driving school for helping me pass my test .Alan is the best instuctor as he gave me the confidence to pass first time and took the pressure that the dsa had put on my sholders .Excellent school with nice cars and superb driving instutors thank you yes !
Jack Dallard
I passed with Alan Gascoyne back in July 2010 with only 4 minor faults. His quality of tuition is second to none!! He is a patient guy and someone who puts you right at ease! Its always nice to have an instructor you can have a laugh with, and Alan most certainly is a fun guy! I came from Alan from another local driving school who didnt do too much for my confidence, but Alan put me straight at ease and I think this is the reason I got through my test first time! I would reccommend him to any prospective pupil for quality tuition!
Saiphin Tanner

Denis G
Ruedi is a Fantastic driving instrucor! I passed my test in Dorchester. I will always recommend YES Driving as the best driving school in Dorset. Thank You!
Sarah James
I passed my driving test today with only 2 minors. I would like to say a huge thank you to Ruedi! he is a fantastic instructor and helped me pass first time after only 21 hours driving. Thank you again.!!!
Pius
I had a very good feedback from a friend that passed his driving test after having gone through Yes driving school. I decided to use Yes and I did not regret it. I found Alan' teaching method very effective. His approach not only helps a learner scale through the technical problems in driving, it also addresses how a learner could manage anxiety issues on the D-day.I would recommend learners that require a patient instructor to Alan of Yes driving school, any day.
Emily Davis
Today (19/Apr/2011) I passed my driving test! Second time round and all thanks to my amazing instructor Alan! He was always calm even when I was flapping and I really think he's the nicest guy you could get! If you don't choose this school you're an idiot! Thanks for everything! :D
Stephanie Power
I passed my test with Ruedi first time with 3 minors, after going throught a few bad instructors and having booked my test already. he got my confidence back in 3 weeks! in time for my test. He is a FANTASTIC instructor, would fully recommend him to EVERYONE! Thank you so much Ruedi! :)
Gemma Briant
My instructor was Alan Gascoyne, and because of him I managed to pass first time, without any other practise. He always made me feel relaxed, which helped to give me the confidence needed to pass. I had not had any previous experience, and Alan managed to teach me in a fast and enjoyable way, as I passed in 4 months. Alan was recommended to me by 3 friends, and I would definitely recommend him to future learners, as he is the best teacher around! Go Alan!
j.uddin

Hayley
I passed my test today with the help of Pete W. I had tried several other instructors from other schools, but Pete was the only one who gave me the confidence to believe in myself. He never gave up on me, even when I had pretty much had! Thanks so much Pete you're the best!!!!!!!!!
Lisa Cashman

I passed my test first time with Alan with 4 minors, so I would like to say a big thanks to him for being patient and always going over everything so that I could achieve well in my test. Learning with Alan you feel comfortable and relaxed which makes you a lot more confident when learning, so I would definately recommend Alan to anyone. Couldn't have asked for a better instructor. Cheers Alan!

Pete Wilkinson is an absolutely amazing instructor, He really makes you feel at ease and makes learning fun. Thank you so much Pete, I couldn't have done it witthout you!
Alia
I had Alan as my instructor, coming from a previous driving school which the instructor was awful and never pushed or gave me confidence to drive coming from there to YES driving school was such a difference. Alan made me more feel so at ease at all times. Alan is always happy to help and trys hes best to please everyone. I would recommend anyone looking to take driving lessons to choose Alan as your instructor. Im so happy that ive passed but will still miss chats with Alan.. Thank you so much for everything your the kindest person and wish you all the luck..

Daniel Hazelton
I have had many instructors in the past... none were as calm and patient as Alan. He is an excellent instuctor and has always got the time to let you know, where your going wrong without making you feel stupid. 10/5
Yoko Hansen
Cheapest is NOT always the best. I definitely recommend Ruedi as your driving instructor. As my overall impression, "Yes! Driving School" is a very well organized, well equipped and well established driving school. To be honest, driving is not my favourite thing to do and I always felt nervous & anxious when I first sat behind the wheel but Ruedi always made me feel better, relaxed and encouraged. He also sees through all my problems. I feel a lot safer on the road after taking lessons from Ruedi. I now will need some "pass plus" lessons...of course, my instructor will be Ruedi again!
Emma Hall
Absolutely chuffed to bits, passed my test first time today with the help of Alan. I never thought I would pass as I was such a nervous driver but he really improved my confidence in myself and my driving. With my previous instructor, I dreaded my lessons but Alan was so relaxed and friendly that I began to enjoy them. Thank you so much Yes and Alan x
Jack simpson
