Chris Spreadbury Driving Instructor Chris Spreadbury is a Approved Driving Instructor for manual cars in Coventry. He operates under a franchise with Smart Learner My name is Chris Spreadbury.

I thoroughly enjoy helping people to learn to drive and seeing their confidence increase as their skills develop and I believe that driving is a positive, valuable and enjoyable skill to have. I endeavour to make my lessons challenging and enjoyable, building on things you’re good at whilst ensuring your safety. Relax, you will stall as does everybody else, stalling is part of learning. It’s also OK to be nervous and that will reduce as you become more confident in your driving. I use a silver Seat Ibiza 1.2TD SE CR to teach in, that I have named “Sybil”. In my spare time I love gardening and also enjoy driving around in my 3 classic cars 1983 Mini City, 1979 Austin Allegro and 1978 Leyland Princess

As a driving instructor, I don't get much exercise and many of my previous and current learners have heard me come up with excuses not to do exercise, well potentially it's all changed now. I've finally put my trainers on and went out for my 1st run under the guidance of Jo Wiley on Couch to 5K". I bought them just after the Radio 2 DJ, Sara Cox, did her Children in Need escapade. I did wear them once before, in December 2025, just to walk down the stairs to take a photo to prove that I did indeed "wear" them. Planning to do the next run possibly Wednesday...ISH

I received this text message from one of my previous learners today, " hello, i saw you earlier near the holyhead road and it reminded me to text you about recent accomplishments. driving anxiety due to the incident has completely gone and i feel okay again when driving! however, the other party who hit me is trying to take me to court and it has turned out that they had dashcam footage all along of the incident, and it doesnt make them look very good 😂. i have driven to newcastle, i have driven to cornwall and will be driving to cornwall again later this month for my sisters wedding! i just wanted to update you on how things have been going, how are you doing?"

I was driving back from my final lesson yesterday listening to the radio slightly higher than normal, when a little silver car began following me, flashing its lights and beeping it's horn, it had P plates on so thought it wouldn't be somebody wanting lessons. I continued for a short while thinking is there something wrong with my car? Or have I got some business cards to give them so that they can give them to whoever wants future lessons.

I eventually pulled over, got out of the car to see who my persuer was. I needn't have worried, it was David a previous learner who said, "Hey Chris, I thought it was you, I recognised the car, I have a T shirt for you, I've been meaning to contact you and get it to you. Can you follow me home and I'll get it for you?"

So I followed him to his house and his mum brought the T shirt out, and what a fabulous gift it was. He then said to me that he told lots of people who are anxious about driving to contact me because he was anxious before but has recently driven to Somerset.

Thank you David for the gift, it was a pleasure to teach you, and it's fabulous to see how confident you are as a driver.

It's always fabulous to hear from my previous learners especially when it's from the learner who was driving when Norbert was assisted with parking across the M6 slip road by an HGV...
" Hi Chris! Hope everything’s well with you. Just messaging you to update you on my driving. I left my job in Warwick and now work in Nottingham… so since we last spoke I’ve driven on my own to Warwick, Cov, Rugby, Leamington, Derby, Alcester, Notts and yesterday I drove to Luton! This time last year I’d never have thought this was possible. I love driving now, all thanks to you! Feeling very grateful and proud :)
