My name is Tim Witham and I am an DSA Approved Driving Instructor, I realise that a driving licence is often the first real step of independence for a young person and that their attitude and beliefs are of critical importance to their decision making. I recognise the needs of all learners and learning styles and by making learners more aware of the challenges that face them and by developing their awareness of hazards from an early age, I believe we can reduce the risks that they are exposed to as drivers, passengers, pedestrians, cyclists – or as all road users.
That is the reason I created the Autotutors’ Young Driving School.
