You have reached a description of driving instructor Dave Cruickshank.

I am a driving instructor based in Buckingham and serving Buckingham, Winslow, Brackley, Bicester, Towcester, Bletchley, Milton Keynes, Banbury and Aylesbury.

I am certified as an approved driving instructor by the Driver Standards Agency.

On these pages I hope to explain to you some of the benefits
of learning to drive with a professional driving instructor,
and what the driving lessons will be like.

If you are already confident of your skills and want the most
efficient driving instruction to get you through the UK driving
test or a nervous first time driver who needs a patient and
understanding instructor, or something in between, you
can do no better than to schedule driving classes with me.

The tuition car you will learn to drive in is a Ford Focus 1.6i Titanium.

A top of the range version of this award winning car.

The Ford Focus is an excellent car to learn to drive in it has a 1.6i petrol engine with power assisted steering, anti lock braking system, height adjustable steering wheel, height adjustable driver's seat, heated front and rear windscreens, air conditioning and superb vision for driving test manoeuvres.

Blind spot mirrors have also been fitted.

It also has dual controls for everyone's comfort and safety.

Dave's tuition car is replaced every six months.

I have no immediate family but I have two nieces and a nephew who also live in Buckingham and I "borrow" them from time to time (I tend to give them back when they get too cranky or smelly!).

My main hobbies are keeping marine fish aquaria and my Sunday afternoon car, a 1987 Ferrari 328 GTS.

The Ferrari is a real classic and very flexible car.

It is happy thrashing round Silverstone race circuit at the Ferrari Owner's Club track day in driving rain as shown below.

Note this has nothing to do with learning to drive!

You can also take the roof off on a nice sunny day and enjoy open top motoring.

It's next appointment is delivering a friend's daughter to her primary school prom night.
