Raving Reviews

"Jim and JSF Driving were great. I highly recommend them to any of my friends or family. I received quality feedback when I needed it, which really helped. Passing my test means the world to me because I live in the Forest of Dean and it's hard to get around. No more asking my family and friends for lifts!"  Well deserved pass for Cameron Watkins at Gloucester Test Centre on 16th October, 2017. Guess who will be able to come and go as they please from Flaxley from now on... stay safe mate!

"Jim and JSF Driving have been brilliant from start to finish. Great communication and feedback throughout. Jim is really knowledgeable which gives you confidence as a learner driver. Now passing my test means no more cold and wet mornings on my 125cc!" One very pleased Dan O'Regan with a first time pass from Gloucester Test Centre on 16th September, 2017. We're really proud and glad to hear that setting out from Yorkley this winter will be much better for you Dan. Congratulations from the JSF team!

"Jim has been very patient and helpful with great experience and handy tips. After putting off driving for a long time I'm glad I went with JSF Driving to get me on the road. Now I've passed I will be able to get around more and not have to rely on others!  Thanks." Another first time pass for JSF at Gloucester Test Centre but this time with James Phelps, from Lydney, on 11th September, 2017. Enjoy your freedom mate, well deserved. Stay safe!

"Highly recommended! Jim is very patient instructor, trust me lol. Very thorough and easy to follow. Thank you sooo much!" Fantastic and well deserved first time pass for Sinead Childs at Gloucester Test Centre on 6th September 2017. Great result, and one very happy lady from Mitcheldean.

"Jim has been absolutely fantastic to me & my family. All 6 of us have passed with JSF Driving & we all feel the same. His teaching is wonderful & he is very encouraging. Looking for a driving instructor in the Forest?  Go JSF!" Well done to Dafi Griffiths on his first time pass at Monmouth Test Centre today, the youngest family member & last learner driver to reach test success from the Griffiths family of Newnham-on-Severn. The 14th August, 2017 will go down in history as the end of an era! Jim has thoroughly enjoyed teaching all of you. 

"I can't thank Jim enough for giving me all the skills needed to pass my test. From the critique to the pun filled laughter I had a fantastic time. Feels like I now have a new lease on life and I look forward to seeing you on the road." Great result with an excellent test pass for Adam Roberts from Lydney at Gloucester Test Centre on 9th June, 2017. Enjoy your freedom and stay safe!

"Passing my test first time has given me a lot more confidence in my driving. Thanks to Jim for helping me through, calmly and reassuringly. I'm excited about not having to wake up so early now for the school bus." Great result with Maddy Hodgkinson from Yorkley who firmly grabbed her first time pass at Gloucester Test Centre on 2nd June, 2017. The second family pass, Maddy and Ellie are both now enjoying their freedom!

"Driving a car is not something that has come naturally to me so it's been a lot of work, but Jim has been so patient and helpful while I slowly build my confidence that the whole thing has been a really enjoyable experience. Although in the end my nerves let me down, and it took 3 attempts to pass, it's a lot more rewarding now for how much more experience I've gained. Jim is an excellent teacher with endless patience and knowledge. I can't thank him enough!" Celebrations and well done to Kat Frost from Lydney who passed her practical driving test with JSF Driving School on 1st June, 2017 at Gloucester test centre. See you on the road!

"I put most of my first time pass success down to how comfortable I felt with Jim who greets my every Friday for my regular lesson with a bounty of puns and bad jokes! Jim is one of the friendliest people I've had the joy of meeting, and I'm sure I wouldn't have done so well with another driving school. I will always recommend JSF Driving School to learner drivers before warning them of all the taxiing favours they'll have to repay family and friends once they've passed!" Brilliant first time pass for Dylan Humphrey from Parkend who passed on 31st May, 2017 at Gloucester Test Centre. The second pass for instructor Jim with the Humphrey family... looking forward to the next one!

"Thank you Jim for being extremely patient & kind whilst teaching me to drive. I didn't think I'd ever be a confident driver but slowly over time Jim has completely gotten rid of any anxiety & nerves I had towards driving. Thank you." Congratulations to Samantha Little from Mitcheldean who passed her practical driving test first time around at Gloucester Test Centre on 8th May, 2017. Great result & well deserved. Enjoy your freedom Sam!

"Learning with JSF Driving School has made driving feel really easy. Jim is a brilliant instructor, even though he is my Dad! He manages to stay calm in all situations and explains each little thing so that it's easy to understand. Of course I strongly recommend JSF, and passing feels brilliant, especially first time. I couldn't have asked for a better result. Vroom vroom!" Congratulations to Olivia Franghiadi from Lydney who managed a brilliant first time pass on 21 April, 2017 at Gloucester Test Centre. Enjoy your freedom & driving in your new car!

"I feel relieved to have passed on my second attempt, & owe a massive thank you to Jim for his patience with my driving and bad jokes. I can't wait to start saving for my own car this summer!" A well deserved pass for Rob Graham from Lydney who passed his practical driving test at Gloucester Test Centre on 4th April, 2017. Save hard as we'll look forward to seeing you on the road soon!

"I felt extremely happy learning to drive with Jim. He ensures that you feel happy and confident with driving, particularly manoeuvres that you are unsure off. Learning in my own car also meant I was reassured about where everything was on the day of the test! I would recommend Jim as an instructor to anyone who may panic or need a bit more patience than usual. Thank you Jim." Congratulation to Alexandra-Rae Middleton from Lydney who earned a first time pass at Gloucester Test Centre on St. Patrick's Day, 17th March, 2017 after completing an Intensive Course in her own automatic car. Pure skill, nothing to do with luck at all! Well done 🙂

"Lessons with Jim have been very rewarding. Jim is an excellent instructor - very patient & thorough. I feel the test went well & I kept my cool & passed. Very HAPPY! :)" A well deserved practical driving test pass for Robbie Lewis from Lydney at Monmouth Test Centre on 9th February, 2017. Well done Robbie 🙂

"I took all my lessons with Jim. I found him very helpful & friendly. I passed my test first time. I would definitely recommend Jim to anyone who is looking to learn to drive!" A well deserved first time pass for Joe Harrison from Lydney who passes his test in Gloucester Test Centre on 6th February, 2017. New car all ready to go, stay safe!
