Clive Gilbert School of Motoring in Stevenage

Terrible instructor, would make you drive up the road then he would insist he turns the car around and you drive in a straight line down the road and it would repeat. He always cancel his lessons at the last minute with some strange excuses and he would always finish his lessons about 20 minutes early. I had enough after a while and switched instructors and it was the best choice I have ever made, the contrast between the two instructors teaching methods was huge. Very poor driving instructor, unreliable and a waste of time, do not use him! Doesn't even deserve one star.

I'm afraid I have to largely agree with Emily P's comments. I have only just started to learn and over a period of about a month or so, he has cancelled three times, changed an appointment time once, and turned up an hour early on another occasion. Comes over as a friendly sort, but alas, totally unreliable and no use at all to a learners progress.

I absolutely recommend any prospective driver to stay as far away as possible from this driving instructor.The most prominent issue with this instructor is reliability or lack thereof, once payment is made do not expect any guarantee that your lessons will actually happen on the set time, often he cancels the lesson within an hour or two hours of the booking if you are lucky. To say that at times it appears that the second coming of Jesus Christ will occur before he actually arrives punctually to a lesson on the original booking date, is only a mild exaggeration I’m afraid. Also noteworthy is his general crass attitude, his refusal to give the full ten lessons promised upon payment if you are unwilling to book further lessons and the general lack of progression from lesson to lesson. Anyone who values their time and money is well served to stay away.
