Continuing on with our journey for fantastic driving tuition, we now climb even higher up the UK to its most northern region - Scotland. Here is our list of 5 driving schools in Scotland that we think deserve to be called 'Excellent'.

Waring School Of Motoring - Glenrothes

George Waring (owner of Waring School of Motoring) understands that learning best happens with well-crafted and focused lessons, that suit the learner. George offers standard lessons as well as specialist lessons. For example, Waring school of Motoring offers ‘Transition Driving Lessons'. This is a specialist scheme for students who did not pass their driving test in the UK, thus need help to transition into driving on the left hand side of the road.   Combine this with George’s 30 years of experience and you have a driving school that will get you driving with confidence in no time.

RED Driving School - Falkirk

I'm sure most people have at least heard of RED Driving School. They are a market leading driving school that aren't necessarily the cheapest, but guarantee quality. “You get what you pay for” is their motto and every lesson delivers value for money. Going above and beyond for their students, RED also have the 'RED Brain Trainer'  on their site, shown to increase a student's chances of passing by 14%!   All RED Driving School instructors are taught the importance of customer service and we feel Malcolm Harrison (a fully qualified DVSA instructor with 12 years industry experience) from Falkirk is an excellent example of this (See Malcom's site). Reviews often highlight Malcolm’s effective teaching style and ability to make lessons fun and enjoyable. TESTIMONIAL

“Very good instructor, enjoyed every minute of learning how to drive with Malcolm!” Andrew
