Unrivalled local knowledge.

Totally Driving prides itself with its local knowledge. Your driving instructor will know all the good starting spots plus all roads to avoid until your confidence has increased to help you on your way. We have taught pupils from all the main colleges and six forms in the local area helping students get the driving experience and full licence required to help aid future studies and employment. Some of the local colleges and six forms we have happy passed pupils from are:

  • Esher College in Thames Ditton
  • Tiffin’s in Kingston
  • Hampton Boys in Hampon
  • Lady Eleanor Holles in Hampton
  • Richmond College in Twickenham
  • Brooklands College in Brooklands

With unrivalled local knowledge of the area and a bespoke feel to the lessons, we will in turn help you progress at a pace that suits you. With Totally Driving we understand how it often helps to fit driving lessons into spaces and breaks in your school day. With many current pupils from all of the above locations your instructor can help make this happen, making your school day even more productive at no extra cost.

Your driving instructor.

Totally Driving, Driving Instructor  

Oliver Smith Ba (Hons) is the manager at Totally Driving – A DSA Fully Approved Driving instructor with 4 years experience in driver training. Trained by the AA and with previous experience working for BSM driving school and a number of the smaller local companies, Oliver has well over one hundred passed pupils behind him with a very high first time pass rate.

Oliver has now opened his own driving school with the intention of giving a more bespoke, personal feel to driver training. Fitting each lesson to the needs of the pupil, something he feels is lacking with the large multi-regional schools.


Your training car.

One thing that is essential when it comes to learning to drive is the tuition car. It is vital that you use a modern, suitable car for driving tuition. Many schools use cars that can be up to 7 years old and not as suitable for a first time driver.

At Totally Driving we use a very modern new Fiesta TDIC, known in the driving instructor industry to be one of the easiest cars to drive and possibly the best tuition car on the road at the moment.

Your car will always be kept in very good condition and in good running order with fully comprehensive driving instructor insurance suitable for anyone over 17 holding a provisional driving licence. We do not change the type of our car, thus confusing any knowledge gained by our pupils but we will make sure you are always driving a modern car so from time to time we will update it for the latest model of the Ford Fiesta.

  • Fully fitted with dual control
  • Air Conditioning
  • Large spacious interior
  • Blind spot and additional mirrors to help you learn with easy


The advantage with using a Fiesta TDCI for driving lessons

  • Easy city steering for manoeuvres
  • Diesel engine makes it hard to stall
  • Ergonomic interior design and great visibility
  • Small compact size
  • Light easy to use controls
  • Very clear dashboard instruments


Not to mention its sleek and stylish looks.
