More Than Just a Driving Test
We don’t just teach you to pass; we give you the skills to drive for life. Advanced coaching from a qualified ADI and IAM Observer.
Posted on Michaela24. March, 2026 I just passed yesterday on my first attempt, I’ve been learning slowly from when I was 17 but never actually went to attempt a test. I was anxious to start driving lessons as of past experiences with another instructor. Joseph’s energy made me feel comfortable having lessons instantly. A very supportive instructor that truly wants you to succeed! I’d highly recommend him everyone, if you are looking for an instructor, you’ve found him. Thanks so much again Joseph for all your support and encouragement! 🚙

Thank you for taking the time to write a review, it really means to world to me. All I did was show you how to park, everything else seemd to come naturally to you 😎 Well done on passing your test, already seen you out and about driving 🤩Posted on Jake23. March, 2026 I started driving in 2019, and dropped off because I decided to go to uni. Picked it up again after moving back home in March of last year. Began lessons again with an instructor for about six months, leading to a test cancellation due to stress and anxiety. Eventually rebooked, and took my first test. The test was unsuccessful, in part due to still feeling anxious, I booked another a few months later and was still unsuccessful. Shortly after these first two attempts I decided to reach out to Joe, and for the last three months have had consistent sessions once a week, where Joe has immediately brought my confidence and self esteem toward driving back onboard. He has a very calm and assuring presence, making the test secondary and your ability to drive safely and well the priority. Hence sitting the test today and passing felt so much better because by the time of taking the test I knew I was a safe driver thanks to Joe the G.

Massive well done to you Jake 💪 I might steal that sentence about putting your ability to drive as the priority. 🤔 Always looked forward to our lessons because I knew it was going to be relaxing and calm. Stay safe on the road and I look forward to hearing your music and seeing you for some motorway sessions.Posted on Rebecca12. March, 2026 Congratulations to my son Corey! A massive thank you to Joseph of Unlock Driving.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review 😁 always enjoyed our lessons, have seen you out and about a couple times which is good to see. Wishing you all the best. 😎Posted on Lara25. January, 2026 I started learning to drive many years ago and through various circumstances lost a lot of confidence and felt major anxiety getting behind the wheel. I used any excuse to keep putting it off - moving away for college/uni, working abroad etc. I started lessons with Jospeh last year and it’s been great! He essentially picked up where I left off and really boosted my confidence. Always patient and calm on lessons, he never raises his voice or makes you feel inferior when you make mistakes - we’re always learning. I’ve finally passed my test and it’s thanks to his guidance that I feel a lot more comfortable, competent and confident when driving. I would highly recommend to anyone who is a nervous driver, someone just starting out or someone returning to driving after a break. Thank you Joseph!

November, 2025 I had a wonderful experience learning to drive with Joseph. He is incredibly patient, professional, and calm during every lesson. His clear instructions and consistently positive attitude helped build my confidence behind the wheel. Joseph always ensured I fully understood each step, making the learning environment relaxed and supportive.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review - Big well done for passing the test - make sure to keep up those observations and I hope all you have learned serves you in the future. See you on the roadPosted on OliviaP22. November, 2025 My son had one lesson with Joseph to get to know the roads in Abergavenny before his test. This, coupled with Joseph’s really helpful YouTube videos, definitely contributed to him passing his test. Joseph has a very calm demeanour and explains things carefully. I would highly recommend!

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. As a passenger I felt very safe with their driving and only needed to chip in here and there to provide local knowledge 😅 well done for passing the test and hope to see you on the road some time. 😎Posted on Akash21. November, 2025 Joseph is a very professional and kind instructor. He will listen to you about what you would like to improve and he corrects any errors in a manner where you'll fully grasp the reasoning behind it and have an easier time implementing changes. He will allow you to set the pace of the lessons by yourself and is very open to discussions. I highly recommend him for any test takers in and around Abergavenny

💪 Well done for passing your test today, thank you for taking the time to also write a review 🙏 always looked forward to our lessons so will be a shame now that you are moving on. You are welcome back anytime ☺️ I hope the skills you have learned carry you thought the next stages in your life. See you on he road. 😎Posted on Zoya21. November, 2025 I had a mock exam with Joseph just a few days before my test, and I really appreciate him for accommodating me at a short notice. The experience was honestly amazing. One thing he said that really stayed with me was 'driving should make sense to you', and I totally agree. The best part of the mock was that he took me to the actual test centre and showed me exactly how to enter and exit according to the examiners’ expectations. This helped me a lot and made a huge difference. What stood out was his honesty. He told me I didn’t need any additional mock exams, even though he could have easily charged me for one. I would highly recommend him. He is a supportive, knowledgeable, and genuinely honest instructor!

Thank you Zoya for taking the time to write a review. I'm glad you enjoyed the lesson. I believe honesty is incredibly important, you were already such a safe and considerate driver I didn't feel the need for any additional sessions. You proved that by passing the test not too long after. Big well done and thank you again for the kind review 😊Google rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 38 reviews
