Driver Training Services in Wilton, Cork

Although I focus primarily on teaching youngsters to drive properly, pass their driving test and respect the cars they drive in Winton, Cork and surrounds, I also provide a range of specialist instruction at more advanced levels. I am a fully registered Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) with the Road Safety Authority RSA in Ballina, County Mayo, and a Mercedes-certified mechanic. It’s this unusual skillset that makes the difference when driving the Gary Meggs way.

    • Adapting to driving on the right-hand side of the road when in country’s that require this
    • Driving in snowy conditions, fitting safety chains and controlling a vehicle on icy roads
    • Navigating through flooded areas, controlling skids and deciding when to pull over and wait
    • Driving on dirt roads, knowing which hazards to look for and overtaking a slow-moving vehicle

I guess that’s me, Garry Meggs in Winton, Cork in a reasonable-sized nut shell. Please contact me if I can be of assistance, and if the fit is good I’ll do my best. See you then.
