    It took me years to pluck up the courage to learn to drive and take my test. I am considered a very mature learner. Trudy was a fantastic instructor. She was totally calm and patient. The knowledge she passed onto me made me feel for the first time ever that I could visualize taking my test and actually drive on my own. I could not recommend her more highly and I am now the proud owner of P Plates.

    I highly recommend this driving school to anyone looking for an instructor. I'd tried a number of instructors and no one came close to providing the level of service or knowledge that Trudy did. Incidentally, she was my final instructor as with her guidance I passed my test with flying colours.

    Trudy is really a wonderful teacher! For more than 20 years, I was "paper driver" (has a license, but never drive) as I was confused about driving. Her clear advice in what to do, or what not to do, gave me confidence that I could drive if I follow the steps she gave me.
    After a few lessons, I found myself feeling much more confident and actually driving my own car! This is a miracle for me--Trudy is a miracle worker in driving!!

    Trudy was a brilliant teacher. Calm, with extensive knowledge and was able to answer even the most obscure driving questions. Took me from L plates to a successful first attempt at P's in just over four weeks.

    Trudy is an excellent instructor whose teaching style really instilled in me safe driving. What I like the most was being taught right from the start: how to handle various real-life scenarios especially on easily misjudged ones, easy-to-understand analogies, understanding and predicting the behavior of people on the road, brilliant formulas and tips in maneuvering, and of course, positive criticism -- all of that in a way you can understand and take in. She can also make good evaluations about your readiness for the exam, and prepare your mind regardless of the outcome. All the good stuff you need to learn in driving. Got my P's on first try!

    I was searcing for driving schools and luckily I stumbled across Buddies! I was a nervous driver who had waited a long time to finally get my licence. Buddies were amazing. Mary and Trudy were both fantastic instructors. They were calm and patient and turned me into a confident and successful P plater. I got my P's on the first try!! I can't thank them enough for being such great teachers.... they broke down all the tricky things into easy steps and gave awesome feedback for things i needed to improve on!! Thanks so much Buddies! I highly recommend them to anyone needing driving lessons!

    I found Buddies by googling "Friendly driving instructors" after a having a horror first lesson from another driving school. The "The Friendly Driving Instructors" phrase on the website is 110% correct. Trudy is an excellent instructor who made me feel at ease from the minute I first sat in the car. In the space of 8-10 weeks or so, I went from being scared to leave the kerb on Pittwater Rd, to a confident and safe P plater all thanks to Trudy.

    Yesterday Trudy took me to the RTA for me to take my driving test. I was so nervous and once again, Trudy helped me feel at ease and explained that once I'm out there doing the test it will all be ok. Happily, I passed my P's test first with flying colours, first go! Every cent I spent learning how to drive with Trudy was money very well spent, and I'd be happy to spend it all over again if I had to. You can't put a price on becoming a safe, confident and responsible driver.

    My younger sister is going to be learning how to drive soon, and she has already made the decision to call Trudy when the time comes because I can't reccomend her highly enough. Thanks again Trudy, you're awesome!

    I was terrified of driving...it took me 17 years to work up the courage to take lessons, and this was only becuse I had a child who depended on me. But I needn't have stressed because Mary and Trudy were AMAZING teachers who gave me the confidence and skills to pass first time.

    Mary is a kind, patient and very switched on lady, who genuinely cares about her students. I always felt relaxed and happy to see her and was amazed to watch my skills improve and my confidence grow with each lesson. Trudy is also an excellent teacher and knows how to make things easy to understand and become part of your driving routine.

    I know I couldn't have done this without these wonderful ladies and I can't recommend them highly enough. I'm looking forward to taking my son to the shops, the beach, swimming lessons and all sorts of things I couldn't have imagined before I started lessons with Buddies. Thank you so much Mary and Trudy!!

    Jo (ps - I'm still lloking fwd to catching up for coffee with u both soon...we can go wherever we like!)

    Well, as the father of three gorgeous girls, each of whom, in turn, has been taught to drive by Mary, and each of whom passed their driving test first time, all I can say is that Mary rocks! How do you teach someone to drive and have them think you are a wonderful person at the same time? I'm damned if I know, but Mary does! Without exception, each of them found Mary patient, understanding and every lesson was a stress free experience for them. After I had got them mobile behind the wheel and covered the basics, they would have a few lessons with Mary to make sure that they knew more than me about the road rules and driving techniques, and then I was allowed to "supervise" while they built up miles and had periodic lessons to correct bad habits. Then a few lessons before the test to make sure they were up to it and practise any skills found lacking. Despite the fact that I spent well over ten times as much time supervising them as Mary, who did they each want to call FIRST after passing the test? Mary of course!! How does she do it? Its magic! But just one lesson, and you too will be under that spell and on your way to driving stress free!
