Ian Buckingham

Ian Buckingham drives a Suzuki Swift and covers the Kirkham, Wrea Green and South Shore areas


I can confidently say that without having Ian as an instructor I would not have passed as quickly as I did. I found Ian to be an understanding person especially when you are talking to him about what items you are not sure about. Ian makes you feel very comfortable when driving and doesn't put any pressure on you to get things done as quick as possible. I have to than Ian for helping me and having a great time whilst on lessons.

I would highly recommend Ian! I was a really nervous driver when I first started and had a number of lessons with Ian, he made me feel comfortable and gave me loads of helpful tips. Ian worked with me for over a year to help me gain confidence with my driving! I can't thank him enough for helping me pass my test, first time! I would not have been able to do it without him, his teaching method was perfect for me. I am so grateful I had him as my driving instructor. Thank you so much Ian!

Absolutely outstanding experience with my instructor Ian Buckingham. Had a rough year and with added pressure of getting my test passed on me it’s been a struggle. But honestly I can’t thank Ian enough he helped me so much through it all extremely patient, and easy to learn with. Top top man couldn’t recommend him enough! And thanks to Donna at BDS who went above and beyond to help me get a test today when mine got cancelled on Tuesday. I PASSED WITH 0 FAULTS 😁 thank you great company and Ian instructor you are a special man!

Thanks to my brilliant instructor Ian Buckingham I was able to pass my driving test first time he taught everything I needed to know and without him I wouldn’t be the driver I am now.

I can highly recommend BDS. Donna was very efficient in sorting out our booking. My son was lucky enough to have Ian Buckingham as his instructor. Ian is patient and calm. His advice and support were invaluable in helping my son to pass his test. Ian went above and beyond to support my son to pass his test, both in and outside lessons. Can't recommend him enough.

Thanks also to Donna who got my first lesson sorted quickly and also helped with booking the test.
