    I just moved to Waterford recently and I'm looking for recommendations for a driving school or individual instructor (with a good pass rate) in the city. I'm not a total beginner, I just need a bit of extra coaching and advice on routes etc before repeating my test. Thanks!

    I used Richie Roberts (think he's based in Dunmore East) and passed first time. Found him excellent.

    Recommended him to a friend who had failed on two occassions and he also passed on his first attempt after having had lessons from Richie.

    I passed first time with Maurice from ABC driving school I would recommend him lessons often go on longer than an hour at no extra cost

    I got lessons from a fella called Mark Allix. He is based in Tramore. He is very reasonable. He is on facebook. Think I saw he has a special offer for the month of June.

    Mark explains everything very well. I have had a few instructors but not as good as him. I did pass my driving test and couldn't believe how easy it was.

    If you want any of his details give me a shout.
