"Although disappointed at my first attempt, the reassurance and feedback from Tony at my debrief was greatly appreciated. He was very professional throughout both assessments.

Before the assessments started he was very clear on what the assessment would involve, during the assessments his instructions were again very clear and at both debriefs gave good advice on how I could improve my driving.

I would certainly recommend Blue Lamp Trust and Tony to anyone I know wanting to complete any driving assessments, I will also pass on this feed back to East Yorkshire Council" ~ Dave W
