Welcome to Meredith Vivian
/Welcome to Meredith Vivian. First off-road driving experience on 25th July 2021. Well done from Mark Prewett. Also, see his published book below……
““Losing my sight in my teens meant that I never had the chance to drive. I’ve always wanted to and wondered if I’d ever get the chance. So, for my 60th birthday present, my kind and thoughtful wife bought me a driving lesson from Driving Ambition.
I have always been an observant passenger but could I be the one at the controls? All those familiar terms were making me edgy – ‘releasing the clutch’, ‘biting point’, ‘changing up through the gears’ - not to mention, ‘fish-tailing, ‘kangarooing’ and ‘stalling’. Could I even manage to keep the vehicle on the straight and narrow? Would my reactions be so slow I’d have the car off at the first corner? Would I get into a fluster and fall to pieces? Surely what I would need was the most easy-going, calm and encouraging of all instructors. Fortunately, Mark Prewett turned out to have exactly those qualities – with an extra turbo-boost of patience ready just in case.
We had a blast! I quickly overcame my nerves and, in minutes, started to enjoy the experience. I was able to control the car with a degree of confidence – gears, brakes (pedal and hand), acceleration, steering. Mark’s easy-going instructions and smiling (possibly through gritted teeth) my 90-minute lesson passed in a trice.
I can absolutely recommend Driving Ambition. My wife tells me that all the arrangements building up to my adventure were handled efficiently and courteously. The lesson itself was not only enjoyable I found it to be a really informative and revelationary experience – about driving and indeed myself. Mark is a true professional and I am very grateful to have had the benefit of his thirty-plus years of driving instruction on my side.
Meredith Vivian. 8th August 2021”.”
