Peter Goat was my instructor - highly recommend! I'd had previous experience driving vehicles on farms and after 6x 2h lessons I passed first time with no faults. Peter was really helpful and was always direct and to the point with everything that we worked on, so we didn't waste any time at all. Worth every penny!
