# Number 8 Driving
Number 8 Driving is a manual driving school based in West Bridgford, Nottingham, operated by Mike Allsopp, a fully qualified and DVSA-approved driving instructor. The school specialises in preparing learner drivers for their practical driving tests at Nottingham's two test centres (Colwick and Chilwell).
The business serves learner drivers across South Nottinghamshire, covering areas including West Bridgford, Edwalton, Gamston, Ruddington, Clifton, Keyworth and surrounding villages. They offer flexible pickup and drop-off options from students' homes, workplaces, and local educational institutions including Nottingham Trent University and the University of Nottingham.
What distinguishes Number 8 Driving is their exceptional pass rate of 88% against the DVSA national average of 49.2%, with 95% of students passing first time. Rather than teaching purely for test success, Mike emphasises lifelong safe driving practices. The instruction is personalised and customised to individual learner needs, with particular support offered to those experiencing test nerves and neurodivergent learners.
The school operates on a flexible payment structure with no hidden booking fees, allowing students to pay per lesson rather than committing to packages. Mike is described as calm, compassionate, professional and trustworthy, holding full DBS clearance and comprehensive insurance. The combination of proven results, individualised tuition, accessibility, and supportive teaching approach appeals to diverse learners seeking quality instruction rather than simply passing their test.
