“Former High School teacher. I enjoy supporting and guiding customers to build their driving skills and grow in confidence out on the road. It is satisfying to play a small part in helping someone learn an important life skill that can literally be life-changing. When not at work, I enjoy playing badminton and walking in the hills with our Jack Russell Terrier. The BDS team are a friendly and professional bunch, of which I am proud to be a part” Sally

Customer Reviews
I passed my test today and could not have done it without Sally! Sally is an amazing driving instructor who made me feel at ease and gave me so much confidence for passing my test. Sally answered every single question and worry I ever had and went above and beyond to make sure I was the best and safest driver. I genuinely cannot recommend Sally enough.

BDS were such a huge help in me passing my driving test. Since joining them my learning has been accelerated and I now feel safe and ready to drive. My driving instructor Sally was the best I could ask for, and I could not recommend them enough.

Just passed first time today with only two minors thanks to Sally. Highly recommend Sally as she was very patient and knowledgeable as she could answer any question I had. I feel like she has set me up to be a confident but safe driver even after my test. Thanks BDS!! 😁

I recently passed my driving test with no faults, and I owe it all to Sally! Learning to drive with her has been a fantastic experience. Sally was always calm, patient, and incredibly helpful. Her advice on handling various driving situations was spot-on and made a huge difference in my confidence and skill level. I truly appreciated her ability to provide clear and practical tips that led to better outcomes in the car. Additionally, I passed within just a few months of lessons, thanks to her effective teaching methods. I would highly recommend Sally to anyone looking to take driving lessons. Thank you so much, Sally, for your exceptional guidance and support!

Joe Brennan
I couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor than Sally. From the very first lesson, she made me feel at ease behind the wheel, even when I was nervous and overthinking every move. Her instructions were always clear, calm, and easy to follow, and she never made me feel embarrassed when I made mistakes — instead, she used those moments to teach in a really encouraging way. That patience made a huge difference in my confidence and progress. What stood out most was how genuinely invested she was in helping me become a safe, competent driver — not just someone who could pass a test. She paid attention to the details, gave helpful feedback every step of the way, and celebrated the small wins just as much as the big ones. I passed my test feeling prepared, thanks to Sally’s steady guidance and experience. I’d 100% recommend her to anyone learning to drive, especially if you’re looking for someone who is both professional and easy to learn from.

I started my driving lessons with Sally Hardaker through BDS driving school in September last year, and since then she has worked with me on a weekly basis to ensure I pass my driving test. The flexible hours allowed me to fit the lessons around my working hours as well as being flexible when facing a change in circumstance. With Sally’s support, I passed my driving test with no minors at the start of this month. I highly recommend both Sally, and BDS driving school.
