"Learning with Alan was great, I had taken a few lessons at 17 but didn’t pursue it further because of uni. Alan was really patient and I would recommend him to anyone who is wanting to learn to drive. I thoroughly enjoyed my lessons with Alan and have taken all his advice on board so I can ensure I remain a safe & confident driver."
Rachel D (39) - St Albans
“I had taken a failed a test about 20 years ago and after that did nothing about it for another 15 years. When I did decide to learn to drive again I ended up having a few different instructors and they just weren't right for me and I knew I'd never get through a test with them. Then I found Alan! Alan gave me confidence, stopped me moaning when I thought my driving was rubbish and he taught me so well that in the end I believed in my ability to pass my test. And I did just that! Alan is such a lovely person and he is an amazing, professional driving instructor. I would recommend you learning to drive with Alan because believe me, if I can do it then so can YOU!!!! Thanks so much Alan, you really made a difference.”
Nikki C (34) - Leighton Buzzard
“After 15 years of not driving a car, I decided I was ready to try again. I was warned by friend and family, that because of my age it would be a lot harder for me. When I started I had no confidence in myself, and was scared of the road. After five months and 50 hours of lessons, I passed first-time with one minor fault. This was a very proud day. Thanks to Alan for all his patients, understanding and help. Alan is a great man with a great personality, he managed to cheer me up on what I felt were bad driving days. Thank you for everything.”

“I would highly recommend Alan to anyone currently learning or starting to learn. He has a really friendly and caring approach and did all he could to make me feel at ease especially as I was a nervous driver to start! He helped me to learn at a pace that was suitable for myself and I thoroughly enjoyed every lesson we had together. I believe that with Alan's help not only has he helped me pass my test but also helped me to be a safe driver for life. Thank you again!”
Lisa R (32) - Leighton Buzzard
"I'm 32 years old and had started to think I’d never pass my driving test. Having taken driving lessons when I was 17 (and failed my test) I gave up. I was always a nervous driver and had never enjoyed driving. I signed up with Alan as he'd taught my husband. I instantly liked Alan, he puts you at ease and builds up your confidence. I really started to enjoy my lessons and I'm very pleased to have now passed my test - thank you Alan"
Gemma
"I would recommend LDC and Alan to anyone who wants to learn to drive.
They don’t just give practical driving lessons but also a work book and DVD that allows you to build on the abilities you learn in the car outside of the lessons. I think that mixed with the very clear and patient teaching by Alan not only helped me pass my test first time but also become a good, safe driver. Thank you Alan!!!"
Michelle B (22) - Luton
“I have just recently passed my driving test with no driving faults, I think that was due to the excellent lessons and preparation I had with my LDC instructor Alan Druce. When I started my lessons with LDC I received a DVD and Study book so I could do some extra work at home, they were very helpful and I don’t know any other driving school that does that. During the lessons Alan made me feel calm, relaxed and confident behind the wheel, I would definitely recommend him to anyone who wants to learn to drive. I would say LDC's prices are very reasonable, you get so much for your money.”

“I want to say a big thank you to Alan. I have just passed my test first time with Alan, I was a nervous learner and have put off driving for many years. I wish I had found Alan a long time ago, as soon as I spoke to Alan on the phone I knew that we were going to get along fine, I hadn’t even had a lesson and he had already put my mind at ease and I was looking forward to my first lesson. I was nervous but Alan was so kind, patient, caring and funny and we did have some laughs he made me feel so relaxed and I always looked forward to my lessons. He did not only teach me to drive and pass my test but he made sure I could drive safely. He is not only my instructor but also a good friend, I would highly recommend him to my friends. Also, I received a DVD and study book which was a great help, in between lessons you could go over things that you were going to be doing in your next lesson, so it helped you be prepared. But Alan was always happy to go over things that you were not quite comfortable with and always made sure you were happy before moving on. Thanks again Alan, you were fantastic.”
Helen P (22) - St Albans
“Learning to drive with Alan was an absolute pleasure. His serious patience and jovial manner on helped me no end during the journey to my license. Lessons became more enjoyable as my abilities improved, without his professional manner ever wavering – combined with patience, and the ability to tailor sessions specifically to an individual pupil, he is everything a good instructor should be. He was always happy to pick up and drop off regardless of the area, which was so helpful given my degree restraints and job. Each manoeuvre and driving skill was taught comprehensively as he was always happy to go over things until I was totally comfortable and ready to face a test. I couldn’t recommend him more, as he’s now not only my instructor, but a friend - an absolute gem!”
Ed F (17) - Leighton Buzzard
Alan is an excellent driving instructor and I would recommend him to anyone. As well as being helpful and understandable, lessons with Alan were always fun! He was very flexible with arranging lessons and helped me to fit learning to drive into my schedule. I always felt relaxed and comfortable when taking lessons with Alan, and he made the whole process seem much easier and less stressful. Thanks again for all your help!
Ashley H (17) - St Albans
Learning to drive with Alan was excellent. I managed to pass first time. It was relaxing and comfortable. He'd always make sure that you understand the explanation of the driving techniques and if you didn't he didn't mind going over them again. Alan was very patient and always Professional. Recommended to anyone who wants to learn to drive. Thanks.
Barnaby K (25) - St Albans
“If you want a clear, precise, and most of all comfortable experience learning to drive, then I most definitely recommend Alan. When first behind the wheel it was not long before I was as calm him, he made learning to drive a fun experience. Before I knew it my test was booked (All within the cost of the course!) I passed first-time with only 6 minors thanks to Alan! He Is very flexible with arrangements, and helped me a lot with fitting all
Leigh W (36) - Leighton Buzzard
“I'm proud to say I passed my test first time. Alan is a superb instructor whom I would recommend to anyone. I had been putting off learning to drive for a long time. I did not feel very confident in my ability to learn how to drive and would describe myself as a nervous learner. I researched for a while, trying to find a driving school and instructor that would suit me. I was very attracted to the LD system. Practical lessons would be supported by study at home materials. Alan's website stood out compared to other local LD instructors and gave a very professional first impression.
Learning with Alan was a very positive experience. Alan was friendly and very patient. Lessons were always tailored to my needs. Alan discussed my progress realistically, summarising key skills that needed developing at the end of every lesson. The study materials were useful throughout. Previewing lesson contents in the early stages, then being useful for revising for the theory and practical tests.
I am very grateful to Alan. His supportive attitude has 'given me my wheels', and has opened new opportunities to me, both in my work and in my social life.”
Nicola B (19) - Leighton Buzzard
“During the time that I spent with Alan trying to succeed in passing my driving test the biggest word that comes into my head is "comfortable"! Waiting at my house for the first lesson I don’t think I had ever experienced so many nerves! Is he going to be strict? What if he doesn’t talk to me and just tells me instructions to follow? What if I do something wrong? ALL THESE NERVES FLEW OUT OF THE WINDOW AFTER FIVE MINUTES WITH ALAN! Alan made me feel so comfortable and I actually enjoyed my lessons and looked forward to them. Alan always made me feel at ease and praised me when I had done well. If I had made a mistake it was NO BIG DEAL! Alan would assure me that from that mistake I would learn something and he would help and work with me to correct it. Thanks to Alan, his confidence in me and having fantastic knowledge in driving and passing tests I now have a licence and can drive independently!!
Charlotte S (29) - St Albans
“Alan is a fantastic instructor and really makes you feel at ease, having already passed and then lost my license, he really got me out of my bad driving habits and re-built my confidence, having not driven for some time. I would recommend Alan to anyone who actually wants to learn to drive and not just pass a test route!! Thanks again for everything.”
Christopher M (17) - Leighton Buzzard
“Great instructor who is very friendly and has a clear method of teaching that is very effective”.
Maureen W (42) - St Albans
“Wonderful, Patient, Friendly, Flexible, Considerate, Professional, I can go on. Money wasn’t his agenda, his agenda was to make sure that I pass my test and I sure did. I will certainly recommend him to my friends”.
