About us

Driving Edinburgh
since 2007.

We are with you all the way to your driving test and beyond. DVSA-approved tuition across Edinburgh, covering the Currie and Musselburgh test centres.

Why "Bananas"?

Honestly? Because we wanted a name that wasn't "ABC Driving School" or "Pass Now Driving." A nervous learner is more likely to remember Bananas. And if you can laugh at the name on day one, you can probably get through your first junction on day two.

Nearly two decades on, we're still the same school: every instructor holds the green DVSA ADI badge, every car is dual-controlled, and we pick you up and drop you home for every lesson.
