I passed first time with Gulshan and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better instructor. Shes patient, encouraging and explains everything so clearly. Thank you so much!!

Thanks to Matt I passed first time!! Matt was so helpful in building up my confidence whilst also helping me tackle my nerves, could not have done it without him. Very patient and supportive of me, could not recommend him enough! Brilliant

Can't thank Roy enough. He has been absolutely amazing both my boys passed with him and the third already booked in when he turns 17 in a couple of weeks. Roy always kept me updated with process and how they were getting on. I would highly recommend Roy if you need a brilliant driving instructor.

Started taking driving lessons with Paul a few months ago after my previous driving instructor retired. He did a great job of building my driving confidence and skill, with great tips which will helped me not only to pass the test (with 2 driver faults), but also for real-world driving in future. Cheers Paul

First time pass with Dan Betney after being very nervous about starting to drive. He makes you feel very comfortable, built up my confidence very quickly and was a very patient instructor. Would highly recommend Dan Betney if you need a little extra reassurance and encouragement within your driving journey. He will make sure you are more than ready to sit your test and are aware of everything and more that you need to know. Thank you Dan for everything you have done!

First time pass after about 9 months training with Dan Betney. I was taught to an incredible standard and was always encouraged when struggling. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to get on the roads for the first time. Thank you Dan!

I had been taking lessons with Paul for over a year and he was brilliant. He had great patience with me and I will always recommend him to others. He helped me pass first time and he was very encouraging. Thank you Paul!!!

I had such a great time learning with Dan Betney. He really taught me everything i needed to know and if i was in doubt or struggled with anything he was there to encourage and explain without being harsh. after having an instructor who i didn’t get along with, Dan was brilliant from the get go and really bought back my confidence behind the wheel. He really is a fantastic instructor and couldn’t recommend him enough! Thank you Dan x

Hi all i just would love to thank Safe4life for teaching me to drive safely and getting me to where I want to be today on the 22/01/2026 I passed my driving test with Razwana at Dudley test centre she kept me calm throughout all my training and always boosted me with confidence I would well and truly recommend this company but not only that personally I would recommend Razwana thankyou so much ❤️

Dan took me on when I had 2 months until my test & no hope of passing. Through Dans hard work & dedication he got me test ready & full of confidence. I passed my test today & couldn’t be more grateful for Dans continued help throughout.
Thankyou Dan B.

Had 26 driving lessons & I’ve finally passed with my instructor Razwana, she’s such a lovely instructor, taught me everything I needed to know and focus on, Her calm approach really helped build my confidence, and thanks to her guidance, I passed my driving test. Highly recommend her to anyone learning to drive.

I passed my driving test first time with the help of Roy. He is a highly professional, patient, and knowledgeable driving instructor who explains everything clearly and thoroughly. His teaching style built my confidence and ensured I was fully prepared for the test. I would highly recommend Roy to anyone looking for a reliable and effective driving instructor.

Brilliant instructor. Sam's patience along my journey was amazing. She has been amazing helping me with my learning process. She has taught me from day one I can become a driver and will achieve it. Thankyou Sam❤️

Athiawas the most patient and lovely instructor, helped me pass first time. She helped me with my confidence and making sure that I was ready first time. I couldn’t recommend her more for a new learner. Thank you Athia

Passed first time couldn’t be happier !!!! Taught amazingly knew exactly what I needed to work on , honestly couldn’t have made a better choice starting with my instructor would recommend without a doubt !!!!!

I had such an amazing time learning to drive with Samina , she was brilliant at teaching me the basics of driving and helping me gain confidence on the road. Every lesson I had learnt so much and her enthusiasm made me never give up . Would highly recommend.

Passed first time with Roy. So pleased with the way I was taught and the lessons! Would reccomend!

Very good instructor started in May, was never late and always motivated me to pass. He had excellent ways of calming nerves before test and good advice for after passing. He was always available if I had a question, 24/7 a day.

Athia was a lovely instructor, helped me build my confidence and that led me to pass first time! Thankyou!

A huge thanks to Ric who taught my very nervous daughter. He built up a fantastic relationship with her that made her feel comfortable and looking forward to her lessons! He gave her the confidence and skills required and she passed first time. Would not hesitate to recommend Ric. Thank you

I had an amazing experience learning to drive with Shamila. She is incredibly patient, supportive, and explains everything clearly, which really helped build my confidence on the road. Shamila tailored each lesson to my needs and made sure I fully understood what was required to pass the test, not just to drive but to drive safely. Her calm and encouraging approach made a huge difference, especially in areas I struggled with. Thanks to her guidance and belief in me, I passed my driving test. I would highly recommend Shamila to anyone looking for a professional and reliable driving instructor.

Roy taught me for 6 months and I passed first time today, would definitely recommend if you are looking for driving lessons. He is always on time and is very effective when teaching.

Thank you to Dan Betney for helping me pass my test, Great instructor

Can’t thank Roy enough for being such an amazing instructor!
Roy was always calm, instructive and very patient with me, but most importantly made me feel comfortable and stress free ! Roy was always very funny too which made every lesson much more relaxed and calmed my nerves. Absolutely couldn’t recommend him enough! Yay!

I had Lou as my driving instructor and I can't thank her enough for how kind and patient she has been whilst teaching me how to drive! She always encouraged me and helped me when I wasn't feeling confident and I truly could not have asked for a better driving instructor! Thank you so much for everything Lou!! x

Thank you to my Instructor for helping me to pass my driving test.Isaaq the best instructor!

can’t recommend G enough! From the very first lesson, G made me feel comfortable, confident, and fully supported. Every session was calm, clear, and focused on building real driving skills , not just passing the test. G explained everything in a way that actually made sense, and was always patient, friendly, and encouraging.
Thanks to G’s brilliant teaching, I passed my driving test first time! If you’re looking for an instructor who genuinely cares about your progress and makes learning to drive enjoyable, G is the one to choose

Jo was an incredible instructor who supported me throughout my entire driving journey. She didn’t just help me pass my practical test, she made sure I became a confident and safe driver. I always felt encouraged even when I doubted myself, and her patience and guidance made all the difference.
Thank You Jo

Dan Betney, the man top bloke recommended to anyone whether you've got prior experience or if you're a beginner, easy to get on with and good training.

I started driving back in march, and I passed in November. Never driven a car before my first lesson in March. All thanks to Dan B. He was brilliant, easy to talk to and get along with. He made all his instructions clear and went into detail about what to do, when to do it, and how to. Couldn't have asked for a better instructor. Big thank you for Dan B

Thank You so much Sham! She is absolutely amazing, couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor. She helped me gain so much confidence and taught me how to drive for life! Thank you so much for helping me pass first time and always believing in me.

Honestly never thought i would be able to drive until i signed up for a lesson with Roy from safe 4 life helped me pass my test first time with under 20 hours of lessons i couldn't recommend this driving lesson company enough better then all the others out there

As you can imagine, to entrust someone with your child and teach them to drive is a huge decision. We chose Ian H and Safe 4 Life as he had taught our son the basics of how to drive from the age of 16 on a dedicated driving school area in Netherton. The natural progression was to ask Ian if he would maintain the lessons and also teach him on the road when he turned 17. We have had regular interactions with Ian who has periodically given us progress updates and also given us tips on where our son should concentrate when he was out driving his own car, with ourselves. Ian has been superb throughout, a friendly trustworthy knowledgeable consummate professional who we would highly recommend. Thank you Ian

Gulshan has been absolutely AMAZING! Has really helped with my confidence and it was not just about passing my test but knowing how to drive. Has been great help and support, thank you for believing in me.

Sam i cant thank you enough, after trying
To pass my test with so many different instructors
My confindence was really down. Thank you for

Students and it shows. I would recommend you over

Samina, Just wanted to say a huge thank you for all your help and support throughout my lessons. You've been brilliant. Really appreciate the time and effort you've put in,absolutely amazing driving instructor — patient, kind, and truly dedicated.and your encouragement kept me going through every challenge.

He is really helpfull in lessons and preparing you for your test and helping you be ready for your test. I would fully recommend, Thank you Matt Walters

Jo is a superb instructor and has supported me throughout my whole driving journey to not only pass the practical, but to be a confident and safe driver! She deserves her flowers! 💐💐💐

I've looked forward to every lesson I've had and truly going to miss you Jo! So patient, knowledge, and lovely! Jo has never made me feel silly for asking questions and making any errors along the way and has been my biggest support during this journey. 10000000% would recommend to anyone wanting to learn how to drive! Truly an angel!

Thank you Jo! 😁

Thank you to Athia great instructor passed first time thanks to you.
Highly recommended helped me prepare for my test
Thank you so much

I had the pleasure of learning to drive with Gian singh and couldn't be more grateful for his tutelage . Since the first lesson, they were patient and provided clarity making sure I felt comfortable behind the wheel. Their teaching style is both professional and friendly. They always took time to address my questions and offer helpful tips so I would feel confident.Thanks to my instructor I ultimately was able to pass my test

I’ve been having lessons with Jo on and off for years and can honestly say she is the best. She never made me feel like I had a silly question, was so incredibly supportive and really turned into a friend. She’s so patient, calm and reassuring, nothing is too big for her to help with.

I really appreciate you Jo and honestly would recommend you to everybody.
Thank you so much for helping me pass first time Jo. You’re incredible.

Our son had a few under 17 lessons with safe4life and got on very well with Dan, the instructor. We chose to stick with Dan as they had a bit in common and Ethan enjoyed his teaching style. With a cancellation popping up, Dan confirmed he could juggle things around to accommodate Ethan’s test within 2-3 hours.
Absolutely chuffed with the last minute result and owe Dan a beer for helping Ethan pass his practical test, much appreciated.

Dan Betney

Huge thank you to Dan. First time pass and honestly can say I would recommend him to anyone and everyone I can. So patient, calm and understanding but also pushes you to improve and learn more. Helped prepare me for my test even through loads of nerves. Honestly 10/10

Samina deserves a RAISE!!! She is the best instructor I've ever had. So detailed, so knowledgeable, so patient, so thorough, understands the road signs like the back of her hand.

She goes the extra mile to ensure you understand all she's thought you.

She is indeed my God sent.

Thank you so much Samina, really appreciate you.

Huge thank you to Claire, for being a top instructor and helping me pass my test first time. She was calm and patient and helped me gain confidence. Thank you!!

Samina is an excellent instructor, ensuring that you are safe and confident on the roads. Samina goes above and beyond to make sure you understand everything and is always patient and friendly. Even though I was nervous about failing my test, Samina went the extra mile and it is because of her continuous efforts I passed first time! I cannot recommend Samina enough and I will definitely miss our weekly conversations!

I have loved my lessons with Claire each week and cannot recommend her enough. She’s been brilliant helping me boost my confidence and preparing me for my test. I couldn’t have done it without her. I will really miss my lessons each week. Thank you!

Isaac is a great instructor, he managed to teach me everything
In 16 hours of lessons and get me a pass. He is a great bloke highly recommend.

I passed today!
A massive thank you to Claire, for getting my confidence back after having other instructors. So patient and lovely to drive with.

Had an amazing instructor who made me feel really comfortable and made the whole driving experience so easy. She had me fully prepared for my test in no time and always believed in me. Thank you so much to Shamaila for being such a great instructor!

Isaaq has been teaching me since February this year and I’ve passed first time, he is very informative about what to do on the roads and keeps you updated with being safe on the road, I would recommend him to anyone looking for a 5 ⭐️ driving instructor

Great experience, thanks to Isaaq, 100% recommend.

Just passed my test, have been learning with Matt Walter’s since I started absolutely amazing guy, always calm and a great instructor.

Great instructor- really explained all the manoeuvres and techniques properly and clearly. Taught me exactly what I needed to pass. Thank you!

Roy taught both my children who passed this year. The way he structured their lessons was invaluable to their journey. He’s very straight talking, always highlighting their strengths and focusing on difficult areas.
Without a doubt my children wouldn’t be the safe and conscientious drivers they are today and for that I’ll be forever grateful.

Amazing company definitely recommend safe4life couldn’t of asked for a better instructor very patient and professional gonna miss having lessons with Ian Willetts, thanks 🙂

G is a very good and calm instructor passed me 1st time. Taught me everything i need and more with the best methods possible. Thanks g

From the first phone call to leaving Jo after receiving my certificate, Jo has been extremely informative, supportive and patient. Booking lessons was a smooth process, communication was always clear. Jo made me feel safe and confident, couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. Thank you!

A huge thank you to Jo Blakemore who took me on from another instructor! She gave me the confidence and push that I needed to pass in which I did FIRST TIME! .. Highly recommended and will do to anyone I know who wants to learn x

I can’t thank Matt Walters enough for everything he did to help me pass my driving test. Driving was something I found extremely daunting at first, and for a long time, just getting onto main roads felt like a huge achievement in itself for me. There were moments when I honestly believed I would never be able to pass my driving test. But thanks to Matt’s patience, encouragement, and support, I was able to reach my goal.

Matt never made me feel silly for struggling or taking longer than others, and that made a huge difference. No matter how long it took me to get there, he stuck with me every step of the way. His ability to make me feel confident and capable, even when I doubted myself, was truly invaluable. I couldn’t have done it without him. If you're looking for an instructor who is not only skilled but also genuinely cares about your success, I highly recommend Matt. Thank you Matt, for helping me turn what once felt impossible into a real achievement! ☺️🌟

I highly recommend Roy, he’s a great instructor! The lessons were well structured and productive, and he tailored each lesson to my driving needs. I felt very supported during our lessons and he helped me become a more safe and confident driver. I couldn’t have passed without his expert advice and guidance. Thank you Roy!

G was everything you could ask for in a driving instructor. Great advice and techniques that made driving seem so simple. Always on time and committed to helping his student pass. Cannot recommend him enough to anyone looking to pass and enjoy driving.

Thanks to G passed my test with no trouble if wasn’t for him I wouldn’t have done it If anyone need a lesson G is the man to ask one of the best around thanks very much !!!

Jo Blakemore is an amazing instructor. She’s calm, patient and always makes you feel comfortable behind the wheel. I had to take a break when I moved away for university, but Jo was so supportive and accommodating when I came back, helping me get my confidence back straight away. Her clear explanations and encouragement really made the difference, and thanks to her I passed first time! I’d highly recommend Jo to anyone.

Claire Potter is a brilliant instructor. She is calming, gave clear instructions, helped me a lot with my confidence and was very supportive. She really helped me deal with pre test nerves and stresses. Wouldn’t have passed without her. I would highly recommend Claire to anyone!

Just passed my test with G. Absolute best instructer you could get. Highly recommend. Always on time always accomodating. Taught the best techniques which allowed me to learn things like parallel park in under 2 hours and for me to be more confident compared to people who have been driving years. Manages to do this everytime best instructer. Highly recommend.

Jo Blakemore is a fantastic instructor. She is so calm and encouraging and always looking at the positives. I am so grateful to Jo for sticking with me not giving up on me and having the patience of a saint. I would highly recommend Jo to anyone.

I had Athia as my driving instructor, she helped me to build my confidence as a driving instructor and helped me to pass first time with only 2 driving faults. She was the best driving instructor you could ask for, I wouldn’t have wanted any other driving instructor.

Steve Chester was my instructor he is very friendly and professional and helped keep my skills up to standard to pass the test. Steve was also patient and clear with instructions and helped me build my confidence. I wouldn’t have been able to pass without his excellent teaching!
Thank you so much Steve!

I had Claire as my driving instructor and she helped me to pass on the first time of trying. Taught me very well, was patient with me and just an all round good instructor. Couldn’t have asked for better.

Brilliant driving instructor- cannot thank him enough- very patient, constructive and supportive in lessons! Thank you so much!

Shamaila was calm, patient and supportive in each lesson and prepared me well for the test

Also explained everything very clearly and made me feel confident.

The best driving instructor!

Thanks!

G has been an absolute super star throughout my driving journey! His profession yet friendly demeanour put me at ease right away and enabled me to look forward to our lessons. He never stopped pushing me to be the best driver I could be and for that I cannot thank him enough. Every lesson we had detailed breakdowns of what we need to do next which was invaluable for me and we tailored the lessons to how I want to learn. Anyone who chooses to start their journey with G doesnt know how lucky they are - What a man he is !

I had driving instructor Athia and I passed first time!! She’s lovely and she definitely helps you a lot when you’re consistently struggling with the same thing. She’s patient and makes u feel at ease in your lessons, I would definitely recommend her! Definitely helped my confidence build up after coming from a different instructor.

Passed my test first time yesterday after having lessons with Sam!
There are honestly not enough words to describe what an amazing instructor she is, always so kind, supportive and gave the best advice for every situation and honestly the woman has got the patience of a saint!
She has given me so much confidence to move into the next chapter of my life, the only downside is I will no longer get to look forward to our weekly chats!
Will miss you loads but thank you for everything

Passed today first time with Claire. Really helpful and patient. Always wanted the best for me and helped build my confidence behind the wheel. Couldn't ask for anyone better to teach me.

Driving is something which I've probably wanted to learn for a number of years but just never had the confidence.. until now.

Yesterday I passed my test and a huge thanks goes out to Ian Willetts for his help and support during the lessons. He explained things really well and was very patient and understanding. For someone with anxiety, Ian has been a great instructor and helped me a lot by always providing constructive feedback.

Thanks again!

I had Athia as my instructor. She’s amazing. Helped me pass confidently and was patient when I was learning

I can highly recommend Roy, he has been an absolute amazing driving instructor for both my boys. Thank you so much for all your help and hard work. Jake passed first time and hopefully Kayne will to in a few weeks

Had Sam as a driving instructor, she was great very friendly always felt comfortable and always enjoyed lessons, taught very clearly and always made sure I understood, great instructor

I've been learning with G for some time before passing my driving test and it was worth it as he is super patient, straightforward and someone who can have a laugh with .

Really good teaching from Isaaq, mentions all points of driving throughly and shows when needed. Gives clear cut examples of situations and how to handle them showing excellent teaching.

Just passed today Athia!!! She was amazing and always so calm with me. She was very kind but still ensured I made the correct choices on driving lessons. Thankyou so much to Athia and safe 4Life!!!

Isaaq, Great instructor and is very thorough when teaching. He was much better at teaching than my previous instructor. Thank you for everything

I can’t recommend Roy highly enough! He was an absolutely fantastic driving instructor — patient, clear, and full of brilliant advice. Every lesson felt calm and supportive, and I really progressed each lesson. Roy explained things in a way that made even the trickiest manoeuvres feel manageable.

Thanks to Roy, I passed my driving test first time and within 4 months of starting to drive. I couldn’t have done it without his expert guidance and encouragement. If you’re looking for a great teacher who genuinely cares about helping you become a safe, confident driver, there’s no better than Roy.

Claire top class instructor. After the experience we had with first instructor for my son with no progress made. Within a few weeks of my son Jaxon having lessons with safe4life his confidence grew and he started enjoying driving. Best decision made would highly recommend claire @ safe4life driving school. And Jaxon passed first time bonus

The Safe4Life driving school as a whole is amazing and I have only positive things to say. As far as I’ve seen, everyone I spoke to has been pleasant and the process of finding an instructor was all good. Ian Willetts was an amazing driving instructor and after swapping from my previous instructor at a different driving school, I was able to get along well with him and he taught me in a way that I found no issues with, leading to me passing first time. Thank you to Ian and the driving school for everything!

Claire was an incredible instructor. Helped me alot with my nerves and made them go completely away on my test.

Huge thanks to Gian/G, really glad i had him as my first driving instructor, he kept calm from the beginning and preapred me to be ready before the driving test really good i never once doubted myself, he teaches at your own pace and knows when you can progress and prepares you to be really good overall driver not just for the test, he has got to be one of the best instructors out there 🙏

Isaaq was an amazing instructor. He’s very calm and informative so will let you know exactly what to do and correct you on any mistakes that you make or any bad habits you may have picked up. He made sure I was test ready and I managed to pass first time purely because of him. I would strongly recommend him as an instructor.

Samina was an amazing driving instructor—calm, patient, and always supportive. She explained everything clearly and helped build my confidence with each lesson. Thanks to her guidance, I passed my test feeling fully prepared. Highly recommend to anyone learning to drive!

I honestly can’t thank Gian/G enough for everything he’s done for me. Passing my driving test was so much more than just learning to drive it was about overcoming my anxiety, building my confidence, From day one, Gian/G created a calm, supportive, and genuinely encouraging environment that made all the difference.
Thanks to his expert guidance, I didn’t just pass my test I passed as a well-prepared, skilled, and confident driver. Every lesson he always explained things clearly and calmly, no matter how many times I needed to go over them. He genuinely cares about his students, and that passion shows in everything he does.
If you’re looking for an instructor who goes above and beyond for his students and who will absolutely get you test-ready with confidence and skill.
Gian/G isn’t just another instructor he’s the reason I’m now driving with pride and peace of mind.
Trust me, you won’t regret choosing him over anyone else. He’s the real deal.

Nak was very patient with me and we had a laugh and that's what made our lessons. Any mistakes were just redone till i got it right and i passed first time because of nak a great instructor.

Huge thanks to John Jasper for helping me pass my test, could not have done it without him. Very calm and helpful as he corrected my mistakes patiently. 10/10

Thank you so much to Jo Blakemore, I couldn’t have done it without her!
She is so patient and considerate, I passed my test today and I owe it all to her, thank you Jo!!
