Our satisfied pupils
Proud to have served Bristol and North Somerset for over 20 years
I could not believe it when the examiner told me I had passed, with only 4 minors!
St Pauls, Bristol
I had my first lesson at their Young Drivers Centre at Cheddar at 15 and again just before turning 17. I passed my test with zero minors!
Weston-super-Mare
I started with a big national school but after 40 hours I wasn't progressing. I switched to LIFE and it was the best decision I ever made.

Steve was my third and final driving instructor. Thank you for your patience and experience!
Bristol UWE
I was really nervous before my first lesson. Steve was really helpful and put me at ease straight away, and I soon overcame my nerves.
Weston-super-Mare
All my friends took ages to pass their test. Mark was my instructor and I passed first time with LIFE!
