Over the past two weeks, I had the absolute privilege of having Mike from Awesome Driving as my instructor — and I can confidently say that choosing him was the best decision I could have made for my driving journey. With his support, I successfully passed my Gosford driving test today at 3:15 pm, right in the middle of peak school traffic!
To give some background, I had been on my L plates for almost five years. Earlier in my time as a learner driver, I was involved in an accident that really affected my confidence behind the wheel. For a long time, I struggled with anxiety whenever I drove and doubted whether I’d ever feel truly ready for my test. However, after just a few lessons with Mike, everything changed. His teaching style helped me rebuild my confidence as a driver.
In the two weeks leading up to my test, I had three lessons with Mike. Despite the short timeframe, he managed to teach me more than I had ever learned in all my previous hours of driving or lessons with other schools. His teaching went far beyond just the basics Mike made sure I understood every skill properly and could perform it with confidence. He patiently guided me through reverse parallel parking, three-point turns, lane changes as well as perfecting my mirror checks, blind spot awareness, speed control, lane positioning, and wheel handling.
What stood out to me most was how much effort Mike put into ensuring I was completely ready for my test. He went above and beyond to help me book lessons around my busy schedule and provided clear, informative resources to help me study and practice on my own. Whenever I had questions outside of lessons, Mike would always take the time to respond and explain things in a way that made sense. His dedication to his students is absolutely remarkable. He genuinely cares about seeing each person succeed, not just pass their test, but become safe and confident drivers for life.
Mike also created a positive and enjoyable learning environment. Every lesso
