Don L. Gates

Don is a road safety professional with over 40 years’ experience. He began as a driving instructor way back in 1984 working for a local driving school, before retraining under the British School of Motoring, and eventually going on to run his own business.

Not content to stay at that level, he became a member of the Institute of Advanced Motorists, passed the RoSPA police driving test at gold standard; and began to train company car drivers for the advanced tests.

Don then went on to become a DVSA driving examiner, a job which he did for many years. He also spent time working with the DVSA Publications Unit and the Theory Test Unit. He actually wrote and edited some of the questions that you will see in the theory test!

He now spends most of his time writing, using his extensive experience at all levels of driver training and testing to produce a series of books and tutorials, which will hopefully help him to pass on some of that knowledge to you.
