I took my theory test on my 17th birthday and I had booked my first lesson with Steve for the day after. I already had a forklift licence and tractor too, which when I spoke to Steve he recommended 20 hours then the test.
The LDC Driving Skills DVD and workbook give you a head start before your first lesson to make more driving time and practice when in the car.
I would recommend Steve to anyone. His kind nature and patience is brilliant especially with all my bad habits from driving a tractor. I would definitely say if you want to pass first time, learn with Steve!
Nicest bloke I’ve ever met.

Before I started with Steve I had roughly 10 lessons with another school. I found their way of teaching quite abrupt.
I started lessons with Steve soon after and within the first hour I felt a lot more comfortable as his ways of teaching were a lot more relaxing. I did 31 hours with Steve and I found him to be very patient and understanding which made me feel a lot more relaxed. This helped as I was a nervous driver already.
The LDC Driving Skills DVD and workbook were fantastic as the videos were to the point and it was done lesson by lesson which helped with my practice. The LDC workbook was structured the same way as the DVD so helped consolidate my knowledge and helped with the practical lesson that followed and with the test.
I really recommend Steve because of his patience and understanding of my needs."

I arranged a semi-intensive course just after my 17th birthday. I found having a 2 hour session twice a week really helped to get my confidence up as I was very nervous at the start.
I passed my theory test first time a month after my birthday. I found the LDC theory book and DVD really useful to learn all the questions and practice hazard perception.
The LDC Driving Skills DVD and workbook helped to start the lessons as I knew what I’d be doing and roughly how to do it. The questions and marking off the targets for each lesson helped me to gain confidence as I had to rate myself.
I have found Steve has been very patient with me and understanding of my needs. I have really enjoyed learning to drive and would recommend Steve to any learner drivers.

I took a 15 hour Test Booster Course with Steve. Before I started the course I was given a Driving Skills DVD and workbook. I found these both to be extremely helpful. Especially the DVD which takes you through everything step by step and you can correspond this with the lessons. I would like to say how I passed my test FIRST time and found Steve’s way of teaching very easy and understanding. Within the first day my driving skills had progressed no end and it just kept improving.
I would like to strongly recommend LDC system and Steve’s method of teaching to anyone who wants to pass quickly and easily.
All I can say is if you want to pass with ease, learn with Steve.
Update:
Following my success in my driving test, Steve suggested that I took a Pass Plus course with him. I have just completed this course and I have found Steve’s way of teaching very useful and enjoyable. The course is not as intense, as you already have your full driving licence. However, it has allowed me to develop my driving skills and make me a much better and safer driver.
I strongly recommend this course to anyone who has recently passed.

Steve was a great instructor. Together with the LDC system he broke the tuition down into manageable sections so that every aspect was covered. Always friendly and approachable, Steve had a very logical way of teaching which undoubtedly was the reason I passed.
Steve would constantly be asking questions and getting me to think about what I was doing and how it all tied in together. Any specific areas of difficulty again Steve would break down bit by bit to help me to get to a standard to pass.
I would recommend Steve to anyone; first time drivers or those looking for a bit of help to reach a standard to pass.
I am now looking to do Pass Plus with Steve.
Tab Kimpton
I'd never driven a car before my lessons with Steve and I was nervous when I first started. Steve is prompt for lessons, understanding and always encouraging. Steve took things at a pace I could handle. The LDC system (DVDs and the workbook) gave me a good structure and a set of goals to work to.
I passed first time which says it all really.
I would recommend Steve and the LDC method to anyone especially nervous drivers.
I am now looking forward to taking Pass Plus with Steve.

I had taken my test twice before and failed. This time I booked an intensive course of 15 hours (Test Booster course). The block driving was a great help as you immerse yourself in driving. The DVD and workbook were a great help because they took you through the lesson bit by bit and this helps the information stick in your mind.
Steve’s style of teaching was great being very clear. Steve put me at ease and talked me through everything until I was confident to do everything with high proficiency and on to a successful test with only 5 driving faults.
All in all, the LDC method is a great way to learn how to drive. Steve was very approachable and would answer any question or query I had. He was very supportive when I was about to start my test which filled me with confidence. I enjoyed my driving lessons.
I strongly recommend Steve to anyone who wishes to pass driving quickly and anyone who has struggled with other instructors.
Amyjay McCourt
I had taken lessons prior to going out with Steve and I lacked confidence in my ability. Steve built my confidence up over the course of the lessons I took with him. I found the LDC method - watching the DVD showing each lesson and working through the section in the workbook really helpful. When Steve took me out for each lesson I felt prepared and didn’t waste any time. Steve’s way of teaching was really helpful and when I made mistakes we were able to laugh about it. I was always looking forward to my lessons with Steve.
With Steve’s help, I passed first time with 7 driver faults.
I would strongly recommend Steve and the LDC method to anyone that wants to learn to drive

"I opted to complete the intense 1 week course and found the DVD's and Workbook an invaluable set of tools to complement the the programme run by my instructor Steve.
Steve's instruction style was brilliant and exactly what i was looking for to make my learning a lot easier and without a doubt was a factor in my pass success at the end of the week. Many thanks Steve. My success is down to you."

The "Driving Test Complete" DVD was useful because it explained each answer as well as having practice tests, which helped me to understand. The hazard perception was useful as you could see the scoring window so knew what you were doing, as well as having a wide range of practice clips. If I hadn't used this disk, I don't think I'd have passed the theory test first time.
Amyjay
"I had already failed my theory test once when I purchased the "Driving Test Complete" DVD and theory workbook from Steve. I had little confidence with the Hazard Perception, but when I practised the clips on the DVD this showed me where I had clicked and where the scoring window actually was. This helped me to click at the appropriate time. I felt I learned a lot from using the clips and I found it fun too!
The 400+ clips that I practised ensured I passed the theory test on my next attempt.
I would recommend Steve and the LDC system to everyone who is about to learn."
Luke
"The Driving Test Complete DVD set was essential to me passing my theory test. The questions and the hazard perception clips in particular were brilliant. After studying the DVD and the Theory Test Workbook I felt confident going into the test. It genuinely helped to increase my confidence and awareness of practical driving as well.
I passed my theory test comfortably first time as a direct result of the DVD and workbook.
I recommend the products and Steve to anyone"
Harry Jones
"I had been struggling with my driving for quite a while, failed my test on two occassions and didn't feel I was making much progress with my lessons. I had been having lessons with my instructor for well over a year and it just felt like I was going round in circles without moving forward. I didn't feel as comfortable as I wanted with my driving and didn't think I was making any improvements. So I decided to start having additional lessons with Steve Palman as well as lessons with my other instructor. Steve gave a new dimension to my driving lessons and helped me overcome the things I had previously struggled with. As a result I gained a lot more confidence with both my general driving and performing manoeuvres and I feel that my driving ability greatly improved. After only a few short lessons with Steve I felt I was able to take my test, and passed! I would highly recommend Steve to anyone wishing to take up driving."
