Meet your Instructor

Hi, I’m Ray.
I run Black Ribbons Driving School.
Over time, I started to notice how differently people take things in behind the wheel. What works straight away for one person can feel rushed or unclear for someone else.
That’s something I’ve come to really enjoy figuring out - helping people find their own rhythm with driving, rather than trying to force one way of doing things.
Being local, I’m familiar with the roads, the busier areas, and the more awkward junctions - and how to introduce them in a way that builds confidence steadily.
You’ll find lessons are calm, clear, and built up step by step. Nothing rushed, nothing piled on too quickly - just steady progress as things start to click.
Outside of lessons, life’s fairly full with family, so I understand the importance of keeping things straightforward and manageable.
If you’re looking for a calmer way to learn, you’ll feel at home here.
