A Basingstoke driving school

Wayfarer is an independent driving school formed in Basingstoke in 1987. We have two DSA approved driving instructors: myself, Richard Fosh, and Bernadette (Bernie) Warwick.

Basingstoke - centre of the known universeOver the years we've helped well over a thousand drivers pass their driving test. If you live in Basingstoke it's almost certain you will know someone who has achieved success through driving lessons with Wayfarer.

If you want to learn to drive, need a refresher lesson, or would like motorway training or Pass Plus, we will do our very best to teach you. Lots of people recommend us to their friends, family and colleagues, for which Bernie and I are very grateful.

If you want to find out more, contact myself or Bernie. You won't get the hard sell, just genuine advice and all the help we can give.

Wayfarer's news

Mark

Well done today, Mark. You drove nearly perfectly (two faults is brilliant) and it was nice to hear you chatting with the examiner.
Thanks again for taking your lessons with me, it was a pleasure teaching you.
Richard.

Lorelle

You did it Lorelle - well done! Thank you for taking your lessons with me.
A really good drive with hardly any faults, just what the examiner wanted.
Take care on the road and I'll look out for you in your Peugeot.
Richard.

Anna

What a great drive today, Anna. I was so pleased you passed, and Janet was impressed, too. Give me a call if you want to do the Pass Plus course, and we can go for a spin on the motorway.
Thanks again for taking your lessons with me.
Richard.

Emma

Well done today, Emma! I knew you could do it - and first time, too.
I had a relaxing coffee while you were out there showing the nice examiner what a good driver you are - thanks!
I'll look forward to a call from your Mum :)
Richard.

"I have enjoyed every lesson I have had with Richard. From the very start he has been friendly and professional and also a really good laugh when we had the chance. Thanks for all the help and support you have shown me throughout and I shall look back with fond memories. Looking forward to seeing you soon"

"Learning to drive with Wayfarer was really good. I was able to take my lessons at all times of the day and evening, seven days a week."
"I had lots of hours tuition, and passed my test first time - with only two faults!"
"Best of all, I didn't have to pay for any of my lessons.... thanks, Dad."

Clarissa McCann

"Learning to drive with Bernie was an absolute pleasure! Her skill as an instructor, interminable patience and "can do" attitude made my lessons thoroughly enjoyable and I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to learn. I never felt under strain and she did everything possible to help me succeed."
"Not only did I pass my test first time (always a bonus!) and get my Pass Plus, I also gained a friend."
