“We came to Mike in desperation. My childminder was close to giving up the idea of ever driving after multiple driving lessons and failed tests.
Mike’s approach was different to every single other instructor.
He was able to appraise my childminders driving with a fresh eye before breaking down the bad habits and building up the good ones in a methodical way. His manner was calm but firm. My childminder said that his lessons were completely different to the many others she had ever had.
Mike doesn’t just sit there and let you make the same mistakes again and again-he tackles issues head on. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to someone-especially if they have had problems with passing the test. He truly has the winning formula and is a credit to his profession.”

“As a dual citizen that has lived in the US for the last 25 years, upon relocating again permanently to Ireland I realised I would have to obtain my Irish driving license.
As Ireland does not accept the transfer of US driving licenses, I was faced with starting as any brand-new driver would: taking the theory test, mandatory 12 hours of driver training lessons and a final road test.
I researched and called several driving schools in the area. I settled on Dragon Driver for several reasons. Mike Watson responded quickly to my initial quote request email, he quoted me an excellent price, he knew the test routes the examiners use like the back of his hand, and he was familiar with the unique challenges an American driver would face conforming to the Irish way of driving.
Sign up for the EDT course with Mike Watson. You won’t be disappointed, and you’ll definitely have all the tools needed to pass your test the first time!”

“I found Dragon Driver Training on the RSA website, completely by chance. Having driven for 2 years beforehand and having had 25+ hours of lessons, I couldn’t understand why I had failed my driving test TWICE. 15 minutes in the car with Mike and I knew exactly why I had failed and that I was not the safe driver I was led to believe.
Just looking at the facts, anyone with as many lessons completed with the most “prestigious” driving school around, should NOT have failed the test. I had spent my money on 25 + hours of having bad habits, confusion and frustration drilled into my mind.
5 hours of tuition and the supportive notes I was given free of charge allowed me to pass my driving test. I cannot fault this guys tuition! I have a problem with taking things in while I’m driving and with the help of the notes & diagrams to reinforce it, I felt ready for the test in a way I never had before. I can’t describe what peace of mind it is to feel ready for your test rather than dreading it!”
