Welcome to Richard Gibbs Driving School

Richard Gibbs Driving School is an independently run business offering high quality driving lessons in and around Christchurch, Highcliffe, New Milton & Southbourne.



I have been teaching people to drive since 2005 and have a very good pass rate with at least 7 out of every 10 pupils passing first time. I am also assessed as an ´A´ rated instructor scoring 47/51 in my 4 yearly assessment. My car is a Red Kia Stonic which drives easily and is a great car to learn in. The car is fitted with dual controls to keep everyone safe and get us out of any tricky situations.



Whether you are a complete novice getting behind the steering wheel for the first time, a more experienced learner who has had some lessons or hold a full licence and want to improve your skills or boost your confidence, Richard Gibbs Driving School is the right choice for you.



My school can provide high quality training with lessons tailored to suit your needs and the pace that suits you best. I teach with a calm and patient manner which puts even the most nervous pupils at ease. With over 20 years of experience I can deal with any situation and can help you pass your test and get driving.



All lessons will be on a 1 to 1 basis with no other pupils in the car. During your lessons we will do as much driving as possible with no lengthy stopovers.


If you’re already taking lessons but feel let down by lateness, cancellations, or poor teaching, the instructor on the phone or shouting at you. If you are not happy with your current instructor and not making the progress you feel you should then change. Don’t feel as though you are the one that is letting them down. You want to come away from a driving lesson looking forward to the next one. I believe that if you’re paying for lessons, you deserve progress, encouragement, and respect.

In addition to the standard lessons, I can also offer hazard perception and theory test help and advice, Pass Plus, Refresher and Motorway tuition.
