Joe’s Driver Training

I have been on the lookout for a new car for my driving school in Ballymena, after reading loads of reviews and reflecting on the downsides of my current car I decided that I needed a car that was safe, comfortable, stylish and easy to drive.

My current car is petrol and it has caused some problems with pupils who have already been learning to drive in diesel cars, they find it difficult to find clutch bite and most have not been taught to set the gas, we have been able to overcome this problem with a little practice and perseverance,some however were not prepared to persevere and decided they only wanted to learn to drive in a diesel.

The other downside to my current car was that it did not have air conditioning, the problem here was that on a cold day during driving lessons the car would steam up and we would have to open the windows to allow them to clear, on warmer days the inside of the car could get very hot and uncomfortable especially during manoeuvres.

With all this taken into consideration it became obvious that my next driving school car would have to be safe, comfortable, easy to drive, diesel, and have air conditioning.

I had heard great reports about the Toyota Yaris from other driving instructors in Ballymena who use these cars for their driving schools.A Driving Instructor friend of mine then asked me if I could do him a favour by taking a pupil for a pre-test lesson and driving test in his car.As his car is a Toyota Yaris this not only gave me the opportunity to test drive the car but also to instruct in it.

I found the Toyota Yaris to be very easy to drive and most forgiving as well as comfortable and very stylish, it really ticked all the boxes and as Ballymena test centre is just opposite the local Toyota dealer I was able to nip in while the pupil was on test and strike a deal!
Delivery times were also very fast, so in a few days time Joe’s Driver Training will be teaching pupils to drive in a brand new Toyota Yaris 14 D4D!!
