About RIGHT-GEAR Driver Training
His passion for driving and driver education began at an early age. Raised by devoted parents, Barry was inspired by his father, who served as a Metropolitan Police Driving Instructor and Examiner at the renowned Metropolitan Police Driving School, Hendon.
Barry is an experienced Learner and Advanced Driving Instructor with more than 20+ years of experience as an Approved Driving Instructor (ADI).
From an early age, he developed a deep appreciation for the importance of safe, skilful and responsible driving.
After serving in the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME) of the British Army, Barry realised his true calling was to teach others to drive to the same exceptionally high standards that had been instilled in him by his father.
Barry firmly believes that vehicles are only dangerous when controlled by people who lack the knowledge, skills, attitude or judgement to use them safely. As of 2026, around 88% of reported road traffic collisions involve human error or behaviour as a contributory factor. This is why his training goes far beyond simply helping pupils pass their driving test. His aim is to develop safe, confident and responsible drivers who have the skills, awareness and mindset to make better decisions every time they get behind the wheel.
Correct Driver Training is essential to getting this high percentage down and massively improve your safety when driving. Preservation of Life.
If you’re worried that learning to drive may be challenging due to nerves, anxiety, Asperger’s syndrome, autism, or because you find decision-making and coordination difficult when learning a new skill, you can be confident that you’re in safe hands. Over the years, I have successfully helped many people overcome these challenges, adapting my teaching style to suit each individual’s needs.
Learning to drive should never feel overwhelming. With patience, understanding, and the right support, you’ll build your confidence at your own pace in a calm, encouraging environment. My aim is to help you become not only a successful learner but also a safe, confident driver for life.
