Driving Instructor
Hi, I'm Vicki — your calm, meticulous but fun, driving instructor who runs Bee Safe Driving School.

I help you, or your child, build genuine confidence behind the wheel — at your own pace and always encouraged.
From the very first lesson to successfully passing your test and moving forward to independent driving, I focus on prioritising safe driving habits that last a lifetime — not just for a few months.

A Career Built on Safety
My twenty years as an advanced driver and Family Liaison Officer with a UK police force gave me first-hand experience of the trauma and devastation caused to families when loved ones are lost in road accidents. This experience helps me teach students the real importance of safe driving and understanding the consequences of unsafe behaviour on the road.
My Legacy
I will always remember my driving instructor from when I learnt over thirty-five years ago as a seventeen year old. He gave me my love of driving and the ability to 'Bee Safe' to this day — and I want to pass on this gift to you or your child for their future.

Due to our exceptionally high standard of safety we will sign off an EDT module if we commence it at the beginning of the lesson. However if the student is struggling and/or unsafe with the particular module, we will discuss together, enter feedback into the logbook and if needed, complete additional Non EDT lessons until the student feels safe and confident and is not a risk to other road users.
