# Richard Gibbs Driving School
Richard Gibbs Driving School is an independently operated driving instruction business serving Christchurch, Highcliffe, New Milton and Southbourne. Led by Richard, a DVSA-registered instructor with over 20 years' experience, the school specialises in high-quality, personalised driving tuition for learners at all levels—from complete beginners to experienced drivers seeking confidence building or skill refreshment.
What distinguishes Richard Gibbs Driving School is its commitment to patient, respectful instruction and measurable progress. Richard achieves a 70% first-time pass rate and holds an 'A' rating from his 4-yearly DVSA assessment (47/51). He deliberately differentiates himself from instructors who cancel frequently, arrive late or adopt aggressive teaching methods. Every lesson is conducted one-to-one in a Red Kia Stonic equipped with dual controls, maximising driving time with no car sharing.
Lessons are tailored to individual learning styles and paces, delivered with calm professionalism that puts even nervous learners at ease. Richard emphasises that paying customers deserve progress, encouragement and respect—positioning himself as an alternative for those dissatisfied with their current instruction.
Beyond standard lessons, the school offers comprehensive test preparation including mock exams, hazard perception coaching, theory test guidance, Pass Plus certification, refresher courses and motorway tuition. A special introductory offer provides 12 hours of lessons for £420 for brand-new starters.
