Recently passed my driving test first time thanks to my brilliant instructor Norrie Umpleby. She was incredibly patient and went through all aspects of driving thoroughly to make sure I could be confident on the road. Driving is now very enjoyable thanks to Norrie and I’m looking forward to the rest of my driving career. I highly recommend Norrie and Blackpool Driving School to anyone learning to drive!

BDS has been very accommodating especially during the time when all driving schools were full due to the pandemic. They were also able to arrange my practical test without hassle. Norrie is a great instructor. She was always patient and polite.. She has been professional and gave constructive criticisms which gave way for me to pass the practical test and get my full driving license. Thank you!

Norrie came recommended from a friend, learning to drive was much less stressful than I thought it would be. Norrie was very helpful and motivating and I am grateful to have been paired with her. I would recommend Norrie to others as she is patient, friendly and a very helpful instructor. Having a full licence will open so many doors for me
