Dave Gaskell Founder

I’ve been instructing for many years and have been in the driving / motoring industry for over 30 years. I have a thorough understanding of the traffic laws and promote safe driving skills.

I am a DVSA Grade A instructor, fleet instructor, and HGV instructor and am also registered as a pass plus instructor. I hold a licence to be able to teach every class of vehicle from cars to commercial vehicles.

My role is to share my many years of experience and methods to enable students to achieve their goal of becoming a confident, responsible, and safe road user, which also includes how to act responsibly and be competent on the road.

I pride myself on an individual approach to each student creating a comfortable and trusting environment. I specialise in Neuro diverse and nervous students and have experience working with a variety of different ages, skill levels and vehicle types. I use modern teaching methods which is a client-based approach to motivate and support during lessons which achieves high results.

I am very flexible and can often fit it with student’s busy lives from early morning to late evenings.

Life beyond the pass picture… I would like to congratulate Altin who put the added extra time in and completed his pass plus training with Gaskell School Of Motoring.

Pass Plus is great for all drivers that have passed their test to enhance their driving skills. Some test centres are putting effort into endorsing these again.

Contact for more info.

Will get round to posting all pass plus students soon
