Driving Lesson testimonial from Deidre.

Driving Lesson testimonial from Deidre

TXT from Deidre 18/8/15.

Hi Cameron

I just want to thank you for taking a chance on me to help me 2 drive again.

Being disabled with above knee amputation is hard .

When you came today you made me feel so comfortable and I was no different than anyone else.

If you are disabled need driving lessons give Cameron a call.  
Have a nice day Deidre.

Deidre lost her right leg,    so driving a standard car on the streets of  Sydney took a lot of   guts.

Well done Deidre. 

Cameron Lata, Camber Driving School, Sydney.
