# Drive with Mike
Drive with Mike is a manual driving instruction service based in Bognor Regis, serving learner drivers and experienced drivers seeking to rebuild their confidence. Mike specialises in beginner driving lessons and refresher courses, tailored to individual needs and learning pace.
What sets Mike apart is his practical, progressive approach. Rather than spending hours covering basics in a parked car, he prioritises real-world learning from the outset. After assessing a pupil's readiness, he encourages progression through varied road types and traffic conditions, starting with quiet, wide roads with minimal parked cars. Each lesson concludes with a debrief covering what comes next, ensuring clear progression.
Mike serves a broad clientele, including complete novices building confidence from scratch and returning drivers overcoming anxiety or skill gaps. He offers flexible pickup and dropoff services to home addresses, workplaces, schools and sixth forms, removing logistical barriers to learning.
Lessons are conducted in a manual gearbox car—a choice that builds comprehensive vehicle control skills. Sessions range from one to two hours, with Mike recommending two-hour initial lessons for novices to properly master vehicle controls. His approach combines encouragement with honest assessment of readiness, creating an environment where pupils progress meaningfully rather than simply accumulating hours.
