The school has delivered over 40,000 driving lesson hours and helped more than 2,500 students pass their driving tests.
The business primarily serves learner drivers preparing for their practical driving test, nervous or anxious drivers seeking a calm and supportive environment, and experienced drivers looking to improve their skills or reduce insurance costs. The school's distinctive approach centres on Lesley's patient, friendly demeanour and personalised instruction methods that help students learn in a relaxed manner.
What sets Direct Route apart is their commitment to nervous drivers, offering a baby-friendly service and explicitly welcoming anxious learners.

Additional differentiators include no piggy-back routing practices, mock exams with feedback forms, and a 5% student discount.
