Kirsten Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Hi all...me and my hubby are moving back to Shetland after some time overseas. We come home in March. I have yet to learn to drive and have put this at the very top of my "to do "list upon our return. I did try and learn some time back but had a rather bad experience and have kept putting it off. Can anyone recommend a good instructor who has oodles of patience?!We shall be living in Lerwick or thereabouts. Thanks!!!

CharlieBoy Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Steven peterson from tingwall is very good i had to change when i was learning i was with colin mcually he was such a short tempered person and grumpy he just made me nervious so i went with steven and he was so laid back and everything you did he never got mad . Trust me he is good . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Becky Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 I also had a few bad experiences before I found a driving instructor who I stuck with. For me it was Petur Petursson. Absolutely brilliant. Good banter and put me very much at ease. But I do think it is a very personal thing. It just depends who you personally get on with i think. But I can say that I cried in every other lesson I had but I had loads with Petur (my fault not his...I was a very slow learner...reversing round corners not my strong point) and he never ever managed to make me cry!!

Hobbiniho Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 i had malcolm craigie as a driving instructor and he explained things in a very logical and simple way and never got mad. if i got somethign wrong he would ask me what i thought i had just done wrong which really made me think more about what i was doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtothet Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 my brother had and liked peter peterson because he was extremely straight forward and says what he wants/means. i personally though had steven peterson like charlieboy and thought he was great. he was easy going, polite and probably just the nicest guy around. he also always apologised when he asked for my money!

Frances144 Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Colin Macaulay is a good calm man who teaches driving very professionally. Not easily phased, has a sense of humour and is a good bloke! He must be! He taught my other half! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
