Fantoni Driving School, Ripon | Fees, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

I never knew I would meet an instructor whose patience is beyond limits. Will be forever thankful that I have chosen Dan.

Btw, I can still hear his voice whenever I am approaching roundabouts, “Firm on breaks, stop, stop. Camille, stop.”

I can’t thank you enough, Dan.

Very nice and pleasant demeanour, very good at teaching content and rather flexible. I’d say the best teaching instructor in Ripon, teaches both manual and automatic.

Dan was fully booked, so we decided to go with the “National Driving School of the Year”. After 34 hours with an unprofessional instructor, we tried to book Dan again. Dan understood our circumstance: that we’d previously wasted time/money, and that we had little left to spare to meet our goals. I’m a mature driver who needed a refresher and a better understanding of UK driving to pass my driving test. In only 19.25 hours, Dan had gotten me ready for my driving test, and I passed with only 2 minors. I wish I’d learned with Dan from the start. I know had I done so, I probably could’ve passed with no faults at all, and come out a more competent driver overall. Dan is an excellent instructor: eager to understand your goals for each lesson, as well as for the long term. He provides theory and on-the-drive knowledge, and is perceptive: he is quick to identify and make you aware of your skill gaps. His end-of-lesson debriefing is comprehensive so you can keep track of your progress, and not feel like you have just spent 2 hours “driving around”. For a mature driver, this was important. If you are in the area shopping for an instructor, I’d highly recommend an independent like Fantoni Driving School. Personally, the queue and possible difference in price is worth it in the end.

Dan has been an amazing driver instructor. His teaching style is exemplary and it suits me very well. He is very patient, clear, very helpful, encouraging. I couldn’t have passed my driving practical test without his help and motivation . Will definitely recommend him!A huge thank you!!!

Dan is an excellent teacher. His teaching is logical and has good pace, he is a very capable teacher. He is also calming which is very helpful when learning to drive and I felt safe having him as my teacher.

His car was very clean and well serviced.

I contacted Dan after having failed my first exam with a different teacher – If I was driving with Dan from the start, I am sure I could have passed my first test.
