I have to disagree with the previous two posts. I learned to drive with Optimus, had a great experience and passed first time. I also booked through groupon then continued after that. the whole thing took me about three months. Lawrie was flexible, supportive, knowledgeable, reassuring and understanding. it was a great wee car to learn in. I never dreamed I could pass first time but lawrie helped so much that in the end I found the test easy and I've never looked back. business seemed to be booming for Optimus when I was learning (last autumn) so maybe that's why it was taking time to get a response. if I ever left a message it was responded to when lessons ended. I'd wholeheartedly recommend Optimus for anybody. read more
