Dave Topley

I returned to learning after a number of years having struggled with panic attacks during tests. My instructor Dave Topley put me at ease straight away, I always felt relaxed and comfortable with him during lessons. Dave built my confidence up over the weeks and supported my preparation for the driving test when I was ready. I had such a positive experience with both Dave and BDS I would highly recommend. Thank you for everything

I have learnt to drive with Dave and he has been absolutely brilliant from start to finish. I have passed my test with weekly lessons and feel completely confident with my ability to go out on the roads alone. He has been very helpful when having to swap lessons and always maintained a professional attitude, while being great fun to drive with. Also the office staff have been brilliant with coordinating and arranging test dates. Would definitely recommend this company!

Passed first time using Blackpool driving school ,they were very supportive , would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a driving school

I passed my driving test this afternoon with Dave Topley from BDS and only had 5 minors! Dave has been amazing with me throughout and really patient with my anxiety and nerves. When I first enquired with BDS, Donna was super helpful and always been on the ball with bookings and test booking, the team are honestly the best and I wouldn’t recommend anyone else!

When I started driving with Dave at BDS. I had already taken my driving test 3 times with someone else and failed each one. I was looking for someone who could build my confidence up when driving and I found exactly that, with Dave. He made sure I was ready for my driving test and Donna (at BDS office) made sure I got the best date and time to do my driving test and I am so please to say that I passed my driving test yesterday. I passed first time with BDS, even though I took my test 4 times. I only need one with BDS, as they make sure that you are ready before booking your test.

I learnt to drive with BDS an have had 40+ hours of lessons I was a very nervous driver an not very confident but driving with Dave T he has made me relax an become a more confident an relaxed driver I am super happy they make me feel at ease. Highly recommended.

Thanks to Dave, I passed yesterday and now can visit my friends in Cheltenham. thank you so much for a wonderful and very influential experience which has led to the pass.

Absolutely great service, Dave Topley was a fantastic teacher to me, passed first time all thanks to this school!

I recently passed my driving test second time and i can’t thank Dave Topley enough for helping me do so. He was very patient with me, very encouraging always telling me I can do when I believed i couldn’t, always had faith in me and very thorough throughout my lessons. I definitely recommend him!! Thank you so much Dave I generally don’t know what I would have done without you what an amazing help u we’re getting me through all these weeks of lessons to pass my test!!!

Dave Topley is a great instructor and lovely guy. He helped me to build my confidence on the road, especially on roundabouts. This resulted in a first time pass that I am very happy with. Thanks to BDS and Dave Topley!
