Lauren P - PASSED OCTOBER 2024
I would highly recommend Get Passed Driving School. I learned to drive with Steve and passed my test in September.
He was a really calming influence as I was really nervous at first but soon started to relax and enjoy my driving. Driving seemed quite complicated at first but he simplified everything to the point where the driving itself became easy and I could focus my attention on the road and the ever changing situations around me.
I looked forward to each of my lessons each week.
I would definitely recommend Get Passed Driving School, if Steve can get me to drive, he can get anyone to drive 😭😭
Amelia - September 2024
Came to Steve after being with another instructor for around a year and was passed within a few months on the second attempt. brilliant teacher with oodles of advice and insight, and importantly a brilliant guy to be around.
Cal - Passed November 2024

Dan P - Passed October 2024
I passed my test in June 2024. I was very nervous to begin with however steve put me at ease straight away and I gained my confidence after a few lessons. He was very patient with me and we had many laughs together. Coming up to my test I wanted extra lesson which steve accommodated which i was very grateful for. Even though I didn’t believe in myself, steve did and he continually praised me and helped me all the way up to the day of my test by calming my nerves down. I passed June 17th with 0 faults. I would 1 million percent recommend steve he’s the best driving instructor around.
Lottie - June 2024
My daughter was apprehensive about learning in a manual car but we knew that’s what she needed to do. Knowing Steve from his previous role we knew he was the right person. He’s a fantastic teacher, puts the person at ease with his cheerful manner and gets great results.
She passed first time, no faults after only 26 hours (some of which she requested to boost her confidence-not that he said they were needed).
100% recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Emma (Lottie's Mum) - June 2024
I recommend Steve to anyone whose looking for a driving instructor he was amazing and so patient with me no matter how many times i made the same mistakes🙈. I passed on december 13th 2023 after only a couple months of lessons which i never thought id be able to do. Highly highly recommend.
Thank you Steve!!xx
Anya - PASSED DECEMBER 2023
100% recommend Steve! He was incredibly patient with me while learning and overall made learning to drive a fun experience. He was great at dealing with my nerves and is one of the nicest people i’ve met. I looked forward to my lessons every week & learnt so much!

I passed my driving test at the start of July with 2 minors with Steve as my instructor. I couldn't recommend a better driving instructor, he made sure i was confident with every step of the test and was always reliable.
He made my lessons enjoyable and was really patient with me throughout my learning.

Lucy B - Passed July 2024
I recently passed with Steve, one of the instructors for Get Passed. I'd highly recommend him as an instructor. No matter how confused you are on anything driving related he seems to be able to find a new way to help explain it to you. There's no such thing as a bad question and you're always supported to be a better driver which helps massively when preparing for a driving test. Anyone looking for an instructor in the Chorley and Preston area should definitely consider learning with Get Passed.
Eddie - Passed 1st time Aug 2024
I passed my driving test mid april this year. I had Hollie as my driving instructor and couldn’t recommend her more! She was very calm and patient, which made my experience so much better. I also did a few mock tests/ lessons with Stephen who i also enjoyed learning with. 10/10 recommend xx
Charlie - Passed April 2024
I passed August 21st 2024 with 0 minors with Steve.
Couldn't fault him, calm, patient, informative, and a good laugh. Really helped build my confidence on the road, and sail through my test with no doubts. Could not recommend more
Oli - Passed 1st time Aug 2024 - zero faults
i passed my driving test on the 28th of february 2024. it was my first time and i got 0 drivers faults. i truly believe that it was down to stephen bentham. i could not have asked for a better driving instructor. thought the 4 months i was learning i had my ups and downs but stephen always managed to turn them positive. i could not recommend Get Passed driving anymore. they are an amazing pair of people and they are here to help when you feel like your struggling.
Emilia C - Passed 1st time Feb 2024 - zero faults
I passed with Steve. He’s an amazing instructor, could not fault him at all. He’s so patient and understanding. Amazing experience learning to drive with him, would highly recommend learning to drive with this company.
Raigan E - Passed March 2024
Steve is the best driving instructor. After many years of trying and failing with other driving instructors, Steve gave me the confidence and time to develop my driving. Steve is a very committed, skilful and patient teacher who always try’s his best to make you feel comfortable. 1000% recommend
Mel A - Passed April 2024 !!!
Steve was always very encouraging and down to earth which made learning a lot easier. He always made sure you knew what you needed to do to pass so the test day was less daunting. Highly recommend.
Madi - Passed July 2023
Such a great instructor that brings out the skills to pass my test in a shortest possible time, which was difficult for me with other instructors.
ND - Passed June 2023
I learnt with Steve and he was a great driving instructor. His prior experiences being a teacher has given him a lot of different ways to teach certain things to his students such as his way of telling me how to check blind spots was by repeatedly telling me it until he just began to watch every time instead of telling me so I knew how to do by myself and helped me grow confidence as a new driver.
Alex- Passed April 2024
A great driving instructor, who will go above and beyond to make sure you pass, gives you that reassurance and encouragement, something to look forward to every time you learn, gives you more knowledge and understanding about the roads and couldn’t ask for a better instructor.
Liam - Passed 1st Time January 2023
Steve’s many years of teaching became evident when he became my driving instructor. His teaching was clear, helpful, and straight to the point. He helped me to look at my achievements in a positive way, rather than putting me down if I made a mistake. He allowed me to learn at my own pace, meaning I wasn’t forced to repeatedly do one thing unnecessarily or do anything that I wasn’t comfortable with at that point. He is able to transform his methods of teaching to the person he is teaching, and this was crucial in helping me to pass my test. I would highly recommend Steve if you want to learn how to drive.
Lewis - Passed in November 2023
Steve helped overcome a sense of fear with driving and even when I was worried or didn’t know what I was doing, Steve fully explained everything and helped me through the fear of driving. Throughout my lesson and then my driving test Steve encouraged me through everything, this helped a lot with my confidence to drive and once I passed my test I was a fully confident and capable driver and this is all thanks to Steve.
Katie Derbyshire. - Passed April 2023.
I recently took some refresher driving lessons with Steve, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. His teaching background gives him a knack for breaking things down simply, making everything easy to grasp. He keeps the lessons lighthearted and is always cracking jokes, which really helps with staying relaxed. Steve is a great instructor to have. 100% recommend!
Andrew F - Refresher course after 10 years off the road
Before I started to learn with Steve I had already sat a driving test with another instructor and unfortunately failed. This knocked all my confidence and I never thought I’d get behind the wheel again, until one of my friends reminded my that our maths teacher from high school was now a driving instructor.
I reached out to Steve and he took me on with no questions asked and promised me that he’d bring my confidence back and I’d pass my test in no time. Lessons with Steve were absolutely amazing and I learnt to not only become a more confident driver but I came away with so much more knowledge and I miss my weekly lessons and our chats. I was only with Steve for two months before I past my test with zero faults.
I have recommended Steve to loads of my friends and they all love learning with him too and I will always recommend Get Passed Driving school to anyone that asks.
Faye
I passed with Steve first time, in December 2023, following five months of lessons. He was very knowledgeable both of driving theory and the roads around Preston. He was calm during lessons, gave constructive criticism and explained road markings and signage throughout. I would recommend Steve to any young person wishing to learn to drive.
Caitlin B
When booking my first driving session I was initially nervous about how my instructor would handle the lessons, however my first time driving with Steve completely reassured me, he was patience and his teaching was effective. He eased my worries while keeping me on my toes and ready to learn. Whenever overthinking, Steve offered an optimistic approach in assuring I was doing just fine and never made me feel like any of my questions were stupid ones. Not only this, I had high goals and expectations on how soon I wanted to pass and Steve never doubted my ability and i ended up passing my test in just under 3 months of learning with him. Steve was the best instructor I could’ve asked for and I am certain he is the best instructor anyone could have- giving people the ability to drive confidently and independently while also offering a comfortable environment to thrive in.
Cerys
I was always a very nervous driver but Steve always managed to calm me down, make me feel better and boost my confidence. When it was coming up to a test date he would put in so much effort to make sure I got in as much practice time as possible. I shed lots of tears along the way but Steve always managed to make sure I leave with a smile. I passed my test on November 20th 2023 after just 6 months of learning and it wouldn’t have been possible without Steve. I am so so grateful every day and would 100% recommend !!!
Charlotte - Passed November 2023
I passed my test just over a year ago. I was terrified the first time I got into a car. I’d always been terrified of driving. But Stephen helped get me through my fears, and pushed me to book my test before I thought I was ready. I passed first time. He pushed me to and believed in me every step (maybe not at the roundabouts though 😂) I couldn’t recommend him enough! Easily the best teacher! Thank you Stephen for all your support!
Carly - Passed September 2023
I past my test 18th of April 2023 and it definitely wouldn’t have been possible without Steve, after I started my lessons I was in a really bad car accident and never thought I would be able to get in a car again never mind be driving one! But thanks to Steve he made me feel comfortable and confident to get back behind the wheel and with determination and patience’s I was able to pass my test with flying colours and it just goes to show how amazing of a teacher he is!!! Definitely recommend 10000000% 🚘
sienna - Passed April 2023
Before I started with Stephen I had another instructor, 2 months of lessons, each time I came home learning very little and crying from stress, after my first few lessons with Stephen I had progressed fast, gained a large amount of confidence and I came home wishing I could have stayed on my lessons longer! He was very encouraging, helped me learn from my mistakes! He is a great teacher and I wouldn’t recommend any other driving instructing team, I had lessons with both Stephen and Hollie and both were patient and supportive!
Beth
Highly recommended! Steve was my instructor, and from starting lessons, I passed my driving test in less than two months. He was professional but really friendly throughout, which made the overall experience much more enjoyable with no stress and I looked forward to every lesson. I was very nervous to start as I'd never been in the driver's seat of a car before, but Steve put me at ease straight away and had every confidence in me. I compared the driving lesson experience with my friends and the amount of progress I made each lesson far surpassed anybody else and even they were surprised at how efficient the lessons were. His teaching was so great that I started to drive confidently and then went on to taking the Pass Plus course with him. Steve was a great instructor from my experience and I would 100% recommend Get Passed.
Nishan
I would 100% recommend Get Passed. Steve is a brilliant experienced instructor who got me to pass quickly and first time!
He made the time to take me on when he found I was struggling to find a driving school. I was initially quite nervous to be behind the wheel but Steve put me at ease, made me laugh and forget that I was ever worried.
Get Passed are accommodating, kind, and great fun to learn with. Wouldn’t have changed my instructor for the world. ❤️
-Alicia, passed July 2023
Highly recommend Steve, I was a very anxious learner but he managed to keep me calm and collected even in times when I doubted myself and I felt like I needed to panic. He helped build my confidence before passing my test in October 2023, helping me gain some independence! An amazing teacher who helped me to understand and visualise learning in a way that suited me best. Thanks again Steve!
Beth
Steve was an amazing driving instructor. I was a very anxious driver at first but Steve was great at helping me control my nerves. He was also very flexible with accommodating lessons around my university schedule. I also had a few lessons with Holly who is lovely and very supportive as well.
I have now been driving nearly a year, I drive nearly 100 miles a day and think Im a very safe and confident driver.
Thank you for all your help Steve!

Karen (Harrisons Mum) - Passed April 2024
Would really recommend Steve as he is an enthusiastic and passionate instructor. His lessons are fun and engaging with no pressure. He is a really funny guy who was open to banta during our lessons as well as football talk which made me excited for them. He acted as a friend during lessons whilst remaining professional which makes him an amazing driving instructor.
JP
would 100% recommend Steve. My Son passed his test in four months with him. Steve really help him to grow in confidence. He is lovely and chatting and his teaching background helps him to engage with his students. you would be mad to go with anyone else.
thanks Steve. x
Amanda (JP's Mum)
Hollie is accommodating, reliable and a great driving instructor. She picked up the pieces after my son was let down by a different instructor. Could not recommend Hollie enough.
Lisa
We cannot recommend Hollie enough. My daughter passed her test 1st time within months. This was down to the patience and experience of Hollie. Hollie always turned up on time and was keen to get my daughter through her test as soon as possible which she did!!! We are very grateful to Hollie as my daughter is now a competent driver due to Hollie‘s excellent teaching. Thanks again Hollie x
Suzanne
@Hollie Bailey is the best instructor ever! I enjoyed every lesson with her and I passed first time. We always had a laugh and good chat, I recommend her to everyone 🤩😘
Thanks again Hollie ❤️
Linda
Highly recommend Steve, he helped me so much when it came to overcoming my worries and stresses, and was always supportive and helped me through every step of the process, from not even knowing how to start a car to passing my driving test. He also always made sure his lessons were all fun and full of laughs which made each lesson unique. Forever grateful.
Maisy D
Highly recommend Benny! First met when he tutored me through my Maths GCSE helping me go from foundation to a higher level grade. Next helped me pass my driving test, first time with 0 faults! Helped me so much in my life and made the learning so enjoyable that you look forward to every single session you have with him! Recommended him to my mates, who then went on to passing their driving tests first time! Couldn’t recommend him enough.
