Hello, I am a qualified Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) working alongside Angie and part of the team at Belt Up Driving School, based in Plymouth.
As a student, mastering the skills to become a fully independent, safe, considerate driver, takes a lot commitment and determination.
As a coach, I fully understand that at times, for some, this can feel quite daunting.
I firmly believe that driving should be a pleasure, not a chore, so creating a tailored learning environment that ensures you remain calm, feel secure and grow in confidence every step as you build on each new skills, is my absolute no 1 priority. Nothing gives me greater pleasure than seeing students flourish, achieve their individual goals, whilst having a little fun along the way!
My training car is an easy to drive, comfortable and sporty looking Black VW Polo 1.0 TSI R-Line (Manual) which all my pupils love driving. Alongside the main areas covered on our website, I also cover the Plympton area too.
You can follow me on my fb business page: ‘Dave West ADI at Belt Up Driving School’ or to book lessons, please text or call 07540 097465 - I’ll aim to reply as soon as I can.
Dave is a very calm and patient driving instructor. He helped me pick up driving very easily and reassured me when I made a mistake. I would highly recommend Dave to anyone learning to drive.
