I used this driving school and passed my theory test and practical test at the first attempt. Thanks to excellent tuitions given in a friendly and patient manner. No hesitation in recommending you to this driving school.

I passed my test a couple of weeks ago after having lessons with Graeme. Having used several other driving schools in the area I can honestly say that Union is the best out there. The lessons were challenging yet fun and the instructor was very patient and supportive, we also had a good laugh along the way! I genuinely don't think I would have passed as quickly or easily with another school and am glad I decided to stick with Union. Really great service, would definitely recommend.
