Mike is a very happy, calm, and sensible person. He is irrepressible! Anyone taking driving lessons from Michael will be laughing so much they won’t have time to be nervous. He likes to shock them with the things he comes out with and they just can’t help giggling in shock.
He is fiercely protective of his clients too, fighting like crazy if they are failed unfairly! He phones SAIDI and explains what happened with great indignation. Sometimes we have to take the matter up with the provincial authorities. It should not happen, but it does. SAIDI is constantly addressing this on behalf of all members and clients.
(Actually he is not alone – our members all react very strongly to any nonsense we experience on tests because we know the correct K53 standard and expect our pupils to receive fair tests. It is unfortunately not always the case.)
Mike studied agricultural engineering 1; Electronics 1 at Witwatesrand Technicon; Computer Operations and Programming for CDI and Allied Building Society; SHEQ Management. See his abridged CV below.
If you are looking for a humble, friendly, bright and intelligent driving instructor, who will stick to the law implicitly, try contacting Mike!
