Richard is a super friendly person and a great instructor who was easy to feel comfortable driving with. He has been patient with the limited experience I had on big roads and roundabouts when coming to Telford and Richard helped me get to test standard in no time. His knowledge and understanding has enabled me to gain confidence in my driving and I couldn't recommend him enough.

Richard has been a great, friendly and patient instructor. He made me feel relaxed throughout my driving journeys and provided a lot of support and guidance and was flexible with my lessons but most of all, was like driving with a friend. I wouldn’t hesitate in choosing Richard and I thank him for getting me on the road!

After having negative experiences with driving instructors in the past, I can confidently say that Richard (and the LDC system) is the best instructor (and company) I have come across. This instructor says it as it is, and will always go the extra mile with regards to planning in lessons etc. My driving ability improved quickly and drastically on route to passing my test. Can't thank them enough!

After 2 previous tests and 3 previous instructors, was losing hope with passing my test. Well, 3rd time lucky with the test - I finally passed, all thanks to Richard’s Driving School!

From the very first lesson, Richard was patient, supportive, and genuinely committed to helping me become a safe and confident driver. He never made me feel discouraged. Instead, he helped me learn from each experience and kept me motivated throughout.

His calm approach and clear instructions made such a difference, especially when I was nervous. He always took the time to explain things thoroughly and gave honest feedback that really helped me improve.

I’m so grateful for all his help - passing on my third try felt amazing, and I honestly couldn’t have done it without Richard’s guidance and encouragement. If you’re looking for a driving instructor who truly cares and knows how to build your confidence, I 100% recommend Richard’s Driving School!

All the best mate 👍🏽

For anyone in or around Telford, I could not more strongly recommend having Richard as a driving instructor. Having taken well over 30 hours of lessons with a previous instructor, I still had the confidence of a relatively new learner, until I met Richard. Immediately I could tell the difference in his teaching style and found myself becoming a significantly better driver after every lesson. Every lesson is well thought out with a structured goal in mind and reflecting on the previous lesson. Richard guided me to have the correct mindset which enabled me to be able to 'drive on any road in the country' as he often mentions. I could not be more grateful to have had such an amazing instructor but also a great mate, as we had plenty of laughs and great chats along the way!

Learning to drive with Richard was an excellent experience from start to finish. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and professional, which made a huge difference in helping me build confidence behind the wheel. From the very first lesson, Richard created a calm and supportive learning environment where I felt comfortable asking questions and learning from my mistakes. What really stood out was how clearly he explained everything - whether it was manoeuvres, road rules, or tips for handling tricky situations, he broke it all down in a way that was easy to understand and apply. His encouragement and steady approach helped me stay motivated, and I genuinely looked forward to each lesson. Thanks to Richard’s guidance, I passed my test and now feel fully prepared to drive independently. I’m really grateful for all the time and effort he put into helping me become a safe and confident driver. I would highly recommend him to anyone learning to drive! (Five stars rating)

I cannot recommend Richard Watt highly enough as a driving instructor. His incredible good humor and accommodating nature sets him apart. Having tried many instructors, I can confidently say Richard is the best by far. He means it when he says "learn to drive on any road in the country". His patience, understanding, and genuine care for his students make every lesson a productive one.

A Pass for Danny
Hi Richard, thank you for your excellent tuition. I needed an intensive driving course as my Test was booked and I was not confident on passing. Richard's attention to detail, communication skills along with his patience enabled me to deal with issues that I was unsure of. I would recommend Richard as a driving instructor as he has coached me to pass my test, and with a smile!

A Pass first time for Mike Murray in his own car.
Hi my name is Mike Murray, I was struggling with confidence behind the wheel and felt that I was quite a way off test standard, my test was only a few days a way. I came to Richard for some last minute cram sessions. Richard was calm and reassuring, his light hearted and personable character made me feel at ease. He was methodical in his approach and had great attention to detail and knowledge, yet was able to simplify some of the processes I had been having difficulties with. This resulted in me getting the hang of things that I had struggled with for months. I felt far more confident behind the wheel and felt up to test standard after just 3 sessions with Richard. I passed with only a few minors, this is a success that wouldn't have happened without Richard’s excellent instruction and his ability to embolden your own confidence which is vital for those preparing for their test.
