Driving Instructor - West London (Hammersmith / barnes)

[rigbyl]

Hi all,

I'm looking for a driving instructor for my other half in the Hammersmith / Barnes area of London. Is anyone able to recommend someone?

She's already got a UK Full license because she transferred a European License. However, she hasn't driven in 12 years or so (and that was abroad), and needs to build confidence with driving around in London. She seems nervous about changing lanes, fast roads and complex junctions etc. I'm not specifically looking for an advanced driving course, but I'd be quite keen to find an instructor that is IAM/RoSPA accredited (or similar) who could give her a series of refresher lessons.

She has already been taking a few lessons, but from her feedback of her lessons I'm concerned that she's not receiving enough advice on hazard awareness or road safety nor how to tackle the more complicated road layouts.

I'd appreciate any thoughts about the best approach in this situation. Many thanks!

The DIA have a postcode search facility which shows instructor's qualifications etc:

Hope this helps.
