Meet Colin Simmons

Hello! I'm Colin Simmons, a fully qualified Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) based in Crossgates, Scarborough. With a passion for teaching and a commitment to road safety, I help learner drivers develop the skills and confidence they need to become safe, competent drivers for life.

I am registered with the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DSA) and a proud member of the Driving Instructors Association (DIA). These professional credentials reflect my commitment to maintaining the highest standards of driver education and staying up-to-date with the latest teaching methods and regulations.

Passing your driving test is just the beginning of your journey as a driver, and I want to ensure you have the knowledge and abilities to stay safe on the roads for years to come.
