DS Driving School – Learn to Drive
Based in Portishead, Dan at DS Driving School is a DVSA Approved Driving Instructor with 20 years of experience helping new drivers develop the skills needed to pass their driving test and become confident, safe drivers. Whether you’re a complete beginner, feeling nervous, or eager to get behind the wheel, we strive to make learning to drive a positive and enjoyable experience.

Safe Driving for Life
Since new drivers are statistically more likely to be involved in road accidents, DS Driving School prioritises building confidence and promoting independent driving skills. This approach ensures that once the learning process is complete, new drivers are equipped to become safe, responsible drivers for life.

Pass your Test
Dan at DS Driving School brings extensive teaching experience and consistently achieves a pass rate well above the national average.
DS Driving School uses a targeted syllabus designed to ensure efficient and effective learning.

Convenience and Value
All lessons are conducted one-to-one in a modern car equipped with air conditioning and dual controls for your comfort and safety.
Lesson duration and scheduling are flexible to maximise focus and ensure each session offers excellent value for money.

Quality Assured
To charge for tuition a driving instructor must be registered with the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) as a driving instructor. Approved Driving Instructors (ADI) must meet a minimum standard to teach.

Elevating Standards
To pass your UK driving test, master clutch control, consistently use the Mirror-Signal-Manoeuvre (MSM) routine, and show anticipation at hazards. You can only take the practical exam after passing your theory test. Never rush; book the test when you can confidently drive without step-by-step instruction.
