Driving Schools
Friendly driving lessons from qualified Driving Instructor and former Driver Testing Officer, Gavin Buchanan. Thames Driver Training is your local Driving School offering lessons in Thames, Waihi, Whangamata and Paeroa. Please see our website for online bookings, at www.thamesdrivertraining.co.nz....
We provide driving lessons for manual or automatic - for Learner, Restricted or Full Licence.
Prepare for the real thing and help improve your chances of passing your practical driving test, by doing a practice test for your Restricted or Full driving test. During and after the "test" we discuss any critical or immediate fail errors, so you can avoid these in the paid test. And we'll discuss any skills you need further practice with.
Remember, I was a Driving Testing Officer before I was a Driving Instructor, and did more than 10,000 tests, so my experience will really help you!
We also offer Defensive Driving courses, see our website for dates.
