Colin

Hi I'm Colin!! Born in England, I moved to Australia in 1964, and now find myself a firm Australian. After working with the same company for 38 years I retired. I wanted to give back to the community so commenced volunteer driving a bus for a small group of elderly persons in the Rooty Hill Area on Thursdays. I was still not engaged sufficiently so undertook a driving instructor course to update my skills and have been teaching manual cars for the past 5 years with many favourable reviews of my style and skills. This keeps me engaged with the community and makes me feel like I contribute. The joy I feel when I assist a young person to obtain their licence is the reason I continue in this work. I updated to a new manual Mazda 2 in November 2024.

Quotes

I can recommend Colin Drake from OnRoad to any driver who’s either learning for the first time or an experienced driver like me, who needs to learn the Australian ways before the exam. Colin has demonstrated to have patience, and be able to provide instructions in a very clear and simple manner. Not only I passed my exam with a great score, but more importantly, I have learnt how to properly drive in Australia thanks to Colin’s relentless efforts to correct my bad habits and provide explanations on why rules exist. No matter what your age or experience, Colin will be able to help you become a great driver.
