Thank you for being such a great teacher! Thank you for having faith in me. Thank you for your expertise in showing me the right road to take. Thank you for being a caring and supportive instructor ... who percives through all our mistakes and still remains calm ... I will never forget your kindness.  Karen Hairsine

Thank you so much for everything. Without my licence or pass plus I wouldn't have the confidence to do as much.  Your 1 of the best!  Thanks take care Laura.

Just a little thank you for putting up with me all this time and pushing me with it!  I got there in the end!! Thanks ! love Jenny.

Many thanks for getting me through my ADI exams, I was fortunate to come to Ideal and benefit from your excellent instruction ... best wishes Dave Ingram

Thank you soooo much for helping me get through my bike test. I had a fantastic week, a struggle at times, but I really enjoyed it. And you deserve a medal Pete! I can be such hard work at times!! Your encouragement and (constructive) nagging made it all worthwhile. I’ve already recommended 'Ideal' to two of my friends who hope to start learning to ride soon. And I’ve recommended you especially, Pete … The whole week was great Thanks again Heidi x

Just like to thank you and Pete for the brilliant training you provided.  It was hard work but the rewards of getting on the road on my bike are unbelievable.  Pete provided brilliant training and needs a medal for all the hard work and understanding it must have taken to get me through my direct access course...Thanks again for the great training ... Take care Andy

...I'd like to say thank you, to both yourself for your help and encouragement and the extremely professional way everything was dealt with and Pete for his endless patience with me (I'm now a U-turn Queen...almost!)  As you know I've had experience with a couple of other schools but Ideal is definately the one i'll recommend to anyone who cares to listen;o)  Not to make Pete bigger headed , but his teaching was fantastic, I ended up totally at ease with everything! Even when I made mistakes, I didn't feel phased which is saying something after my huge initial set back with ***** and never feeling like i'd ever go near a bike again let alone pass my Direct Access! Thanks Pete you're a good un, ... roll on summer! With love and kindest regards Vicky 

To the best driving instructor there is!  )Trust me I know, I had 5 to teach me before you).  A huge thank you for all the advice & support (and even your constructive critisism was said positively) getting me from as some would say, a lost cause to a pass!

Thank you so much Stef xxxxx

To the Ideal Crew.  I just had to say thanks to all the CBT instructors for an awesome day on Saturday, I'd come again because it was so fun.  I wanna give a special thanks to Rob and Chris for taking me out on the roads, so cheers! Love from Laura Scaife x
