Hornby Driver Training are not just your usual driving school and driving instructors focused on providing lessons to get as many people through their test in the quickest amount of time.  Instead, the emphasis is on the pupil, and using many years experience of instructing, training and coaching we want to improve driving standards and make the Isle of Axholme a safer place to live and drive.  In addition, John Hornby is only 1 of 2 advanced drivers in the local area (DN9 postcode) who are members of the Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM), meaning that his standard of driving is proven to be above that of people without IAM status.

We use a 5 door Vauxhall Corsa 1.3 CDXi fitted with dual controls.  We carefully selected this model as it is safe, easy to drive and manoeuvrable.

"I contacted Hornby Driver Training in the wake of receiving a court summons for a speeding offence, after my lawyer suggested I take an Advanced Driving Course to show I had improved my road awareness.  The course was convenient, comprehensive and really helped me to become more safety-aware, as well as taught me to become a more efficient driver.  John was helpful, informative and easy-going throughout the course, and has made me think more carefully about how I drive."  (Lisa T - Advanced Pupil 2008)

“Driving can be a nerveracking experience, but Hornby Driver Training made me feel at ease as they were very patient from the beginning.  My skills were continually pushed during lessons which meant that I felt prepared for the test.”  (Danny S - Learner Pupil 2008)

 “Hornby Driver Training transformed me from being a nervous driver who panicked at the thought of being behind the wheel, into a confident, safe motorist. They used a variety of techniques to help me become more confident and overcome some of my fears.  I really can’t recommend the company highly enough.”  (Faye C - Learner Pupil 2007-08)

"I found the Pass Plus package really helpful as it allowed me to build the skills and confidence to become a better driver.  I found Hornby Driver Training to be approachable, patient and always willing to help.  Thanks!"  (Hayley S - Pass Plus Pupil 2007)
