I passed my driving test today with IDrive in Rochdale, and I just want to say a huge thank you to my instructor, Asif. He is such a good instructor, calm, patient, and really knows how to build your confidence on the road. I always felt supported and well-prepared for every step of the process. I would definitely recommend IDrive, and especially Asif, to anyone looking to learn to drive. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

I honestly cannot thank Naheed enough - I passed first time with 3 minors! I was a very nervous and unconfident driver but Naheed genuinely believed in me and supported me until I was test ready. I absolutely 10000% recommend automatic lessons with her!

My driving instructor Mohammed Arfan was always calm and clear. They explained things simply and never rushed me. This made me feel comfortable and confident, helping me pass my test.

Today I passed my driving test, and I couldn’t have done it without the excellent guidance of my instructor, Sajid Latif. His professionalism, calm approach, and deep knowledge of driving techniques made learning an enjoyable experience. Sajid’s positive attitude and encouragement helped build my confidence behind the wheel. He was always patient, punctual, and focused on making sure I was well-prepared not just to pass the test, but to drive safely for life. Once again thanks to Idrive and my instructor Sajid Latif, Highly recommended!

I recently passed my driving test with IDrive - in the first try! And had since been anxiously avoiding motorways whilst out driving, so I decided to book in a 2 hour session with my instructor Afaq to go over motorway driving. I am so glad I did, in just 2 hours he talked me through the specifics of motorways, entering, exiting, lane changes, etc. All while I drove. Any nerves or anxiety I had about driving on the motorway melted away during this single, 2 hour session. I now feel confident enough to take on motorways on my own, and that’s thanks to my brilliant instructor Afaq and IDrive

I have passed my Test in first attempt.
Many many thanks to Arfan brother❤️.
Highly recommended.

I passed today with only 2 minors. I’ve had a great time learning and bettering myself as a driver all thanks to Mr Sajid Latif! Wouldn’t have done it without you and you are honestly the best instructor anyone could ask for. Thanks for you time and patience.

top notch best of the best kept me calm and confident, patience and trust is her middle name, Myra

Asif is an exceptional driving instructor! His patience, expertise, and encouragement made learning to drive a breeze. He tailored his teaching style to my needs, providing constructive feedback and celebrating my progress.As a nervous driver, he kept on reassuring me and constantly told me I deserve to pass which made me comfortable and confident behind the wheel on my test day, as these words echoed whiles on the test. I highly recommend Asif to anyone looking to become a safe and skilled driver. I passed the first time with him. Five stars isn't enough –Asif and idrive, they're truly the best!"

I was a nervous driver especially after having poor experiences with other driving instructors. I failed 5 times previously. This increased my anxiety with driving. Haroon was calm and easy to get along with. He explained the basics and had a set clear progression pathway and we would revisit this at the start and end of each lesson. Haroon gave me great tips before my test and in the lessons. He said to take it one step at a time, set mini targets to get to safely. This helped me succeed in my test.

He made sure I was ready to take mocks tests and we'd do mock tests regularly (with my previous instructors we only did it before the test) and he'd mark me like an examiner so I was always clear on what to improve for my driving. This really helped improve my nerves for the test because I knew what to expect and what faults they were looking at. I also watched his amazing YouTube channel where he has further tips and advice in a fun and professional format. I passed first time with him! He's an amazing person and instructor and I can't thank him enough for helping me pass!

Passed my driving test today all thanks to my instructor Rahima! She’s been extremely patient and supportive and I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. I feel confident in my driving abilities thanks to Rahima’s dedication and consistency with lessons.

Passed my test 1st time at Chadderton test centre today and can’t thank Sajid latif enough on his tremendous skills patience and learning you really have helped and changed my life for the better now thank you so much

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Absolutely Outstanding Instructor – Thank You, Rashid!

I passed my driving test on 22/05/2025, and I couldn’t have done it without the incredible support and guidance of Rashid from iDrive. From the very beginning, Rashid took me right back to the basics, helping to rebuild my confidence with a calm, professional, and patient approach that made all the difference.

His deep knowledge and clear instruction made every lesson not just productive but genuinely enjoyable. No matter how nervous or uncertain I felt, Rashid was always composed and reassuring – the kind of instructor who brings out the best in you. He never once made me feel rushed or pressured; instead, he focused on steady progress and real understanding.

Rashid’s patience is unmatched, and his ability to explain things in a simple, relatable way was a game-changer for me. He believed in me even when I doubted myself, and for that, I’ll always be grateful.

If you’re looking for a driving instructor who’s professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in your success, I wholeheartedly recommend Rashid. I couldn’t have asked for a better teacher – thank you so much for everything!

It has been brilliant taking lessons with iDrive, in particular I would like to thank my instructor Mohammed Arfan for encouraging and supporting me in my lessons throughout, I have passed first time today thank you :)

I passed my driving test after just 12 lessons—with only 3 minors—and I’m absolutely over the moon. I owe this incredible achievement to my instructor, Asif.

Asif is truly exceptional at what he does. Every lesson is tailored to help you become a safe, confident, and capable driver—not just someone who can pass the test, but someone who understands the road. His calm and professional approach puts you at ease straight away, and his ability to build confidence in your driving skills is second to none.

He’s always punctual—arriving 5 to 10 minutes early every single time—and never once missed a lesson. He was always happy to answer any questions I had, whether it was about the theory test, the “show me, tell me” questions, or anything I came across during lessons.

Learning to drive with IDrive and Asif has been an absolute pleasure, and I can’t recommend him enough. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about your progress and success, Asif is the instructor for you!

I passed my test first time in Rochdale thanks to the help and support of Afaq.
I cannot thank him enough for being patient with me and providing constructive criticism wherever possible to prepare me for my test and make me a better driver in process.
Thank you for everything.

Just passed my test and couldn’t have done it without Mohammad Arfan. Calm, clear, and really supportive throughout—highly recommend to anyone looking for a great driving instructor!

I passed my test yesterday first time round thankfully due to my instructor Mohammed Arfan!
He has incredibly patient, calm, and polite throughout my lessons, and always made me feel comfortable behind the wheel. What stood out the most was his ability to explain things in different ways until he found the method that worked best for me. He really focused on helping me improve my weak areas, especially manoeuvres and the parts I lacked confidence in. Thanks to his support and clear guidance, I passed my driving test with only 6 minors!

If you’re looking for a friendly and helpful instructor who’s genuinely invested in your progress, I can’t recommend Mohammed enough

I had the pleasure of Sajid Latif teaching me, he is absolutely professional, patient and he ensured to fine-tune my areas of weaknesses, I have been so lucky to have him as my instructor. I am thankful to Sajid for transforming me into a confident driver he made my entire experience of learning enjoyable. He has strong communication skills, teaching and explaining driving techniques safety rules and how effectively to be road etiquette to be courteous and stay alert. With Sajid guidance and patience he taught me the skills to become a safe driver his fun spin on teaching has made it all the easier for me. Thank you once again for never letting me give up. FINALLY PASSED

Mohammed Arfan was my instructor, and he was quite possibly the best person to have. Easy to handle car, upbeat funny person and a good teacher. Would give 6 stars if possible
