Highly recommend.
Dont want to mention the name of that instructor but he is very unprofessional and poor in his skills
Special thanks to my instructors, Danyaa and Raja, for the best driving tips I’ve ever received. With their help and guidance, I gained the confidence needed to pass my driving test.
I highly recommend them to anyone reading this message. 10/10.
I appreciate how you’ve helped me build confidence behind the wheel. I really liked how you explained complex maneuvers step-by-step. Your calm approach made it easier for me to stay focused during lessons. You gave clear and constructive feedback, which helped me improve quickly. Overall, I’ve enjoyed learning with you and feel much more prepared for my driving test. Thank you again for your dedication and support!
Thank you Beenish 🙂

Asif was patient, knowledgeable, and made every lesson enjoyable. His clear instructions and supportive attitude helped me gain confidence and improve my driving skills. I highly recommended Asif to anyone looking to learn how to drive.😊
The number you posted 0300 2004 576 is invalid (BTW this was a typo on your end)
Last update :
My daughter tried to contact her instructor a couple of times and then the office, but the answering machine was on. Then I tried to contact you and I got through.
It's not true that the lessons are a couple of months ago either, her last lesson was in October and since then my daughter tried to contact the driving instructor and driving school.
You wanted to look into the issue why the instructor is not contacting my daughter anymore, and you wanted to call me back.
You didn't call back, instead you sent my daughter a text message, that the number is wrong and you couldn't find the name either and her mum should remove the review.
So I started to be very worried that here is a fraud happening and god knows who my daughter had driving lessons with, as you couldn't find the instructor.
After our phone call, by the way, the instructor removed her from WhatsApp and all conversation was gone!!
So even more worried.
But we have bank account details and so I tried to contact you again to find out what's happening. Now the answering machine also turned on when I tried to call!
My husband called you today and indeed the bank details are from your company and you also knew the instructor! And then phone call got disconnected.....
Luckily no fraud happening here as you know the instructor and we also know that we paid to your company.
However we still don't understand why the instructor didn't come back, and why you try to make it hard to get in touch with you, and why you have no answers.
Very mysterious.....
use him for my other 2 children when the time comes ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟
I Passing Smiles Driving School made learning to drive a fantastic experience! My instructor was patient, knowledgeable, and gave clear, step-by-step guidance that boosted my confidence. The cars were well-maintained, and scheduling was super easy. Thanks to them, I passed my test on the first try. Highly recommend!
I passed my test and I couldn’t have done it without Sallah.
From the very first lesson he made me feel comfortable and Confident behind the wheel. He’s been very patient with me 😊
I 💯 recommend x
His thorough and stress-free lessons were exactly what I needed. He's laid-back but always on point with his teaching. Highly recommend him if you want to ace your test.

FAQ
Get Quick Answers to Your Concerns
How many driving lessons do I need before I’m ready for the Hamilton practical test?
There isn’t a fixed number — the average learner in the UK requires around 40–45 hours of lessons before being test-ready, but this can vary depending on confidence, experience, and practice. Some learners reach test standard sooner, while others take more time. Frequent practise with a qualified instructor will help you improve faster.
What is the best way to book a practical test at the Hamilton Driving Test Centre?
You can book your practical driving test online via the official UK government booking service, or by phone using the DVSA booking line. Tests at Hamilton Driving Test Centre are scheduled based on availability, so it’s recommended to book early, especially during busy periods.
Can I choose between manual and automatic lessons in Hamilton?
Yes — you can select either manual driving lessons Hamilton or automatic driving lessons Hamilton depending on your preference. Passing in a manual car allows you to drive both manual and automatic vehicles, while passing in an automatic restricts you to automatic only.
Why is professional instruction valuable compared to learning with friends/family?
Professional instructors are accredited, experienced with test routes around Hamilton, and trained to prepare you for real test scenarios. Many learners on community forums note that structured lessons help with confidence, control, and test skills more than only practising with friends or family.
How soon can I start lessons after passing my theory test?
You can begin practical driving lessons anytime after passing your theory test — and you generally must pass your theory test first before booking a practical test. A strong understanding of the Highway Code helps you make quicker progress in practical lessons.
