I have an autistic son who learned how to drive through DriveIQ. He mostly had Ben as an instructor, with occasional sessions with Paul, when Ben was unavailable. We purchased 3 x 10 lessons over a period of time to support my son to be ready and prepared for his restricted license. He sat his learner's in July 2024 and his restricted in March 2025 and passed his restricted on the first attempt. I really appreciated Ben's ability to observe how my son functions and adapt his teaching approach to my son's unique needs. Ben's main focus was to help my son build confidence on the road. This helped hugely to mitigate my son's anxiety. I witnessed my son's confidence and capability increase over this course of time which warmed my heart, as a parent. Ben was so understanding, caring, and communicated really well with my son and me. Ben is so supportive and really passionate about helping to support people in their driving and license goals. My son respects him a lot and took on all of the driving tips from both Ben and Paul. I didn't have any engagement with Paul myself but my son said that he was just as good as Ben, just different. Both men brought a lot of value to my sons driving journey. We were fortunate to have lessons funded via individualised funding and Cathy was really helpful in making the payment process easy. Ben also allowed my son to use his car for testing which was really helpful. I highly recommend DriveIQ for lessons, in particular Ben and Paul. We will be utilizing defensive driving courses for my son to continue his driving journey and aim for his full license in 12months. This will be with DriveIQ. As a parent of neurodiverse children, I am apprehensive to leave my children with anyone but DRIVEIQ has proved themselves to be a safe driving educator and I will return to use their services. Highly recommend!

Ben is just the best! Highly professional but approachable and helpful. Ben has taught both our kids to drive and he has adapted to both personalities and helped them become great drivers. I couldn't recommend him enough, he provides great piece of mind and is an outstanding instructor. Thanks heaps Ben!

Ben was an amazing driving lesson instructor. Over the three lessons I had he taught me everything I needed to know before sitting my test with clear and effective instructions. I enjoyed driving with Ben as he was calm the whole time but told me what I needed to improve each time I did something wrong with encouragement. 10/10 recommend

100% recommend Ben as a driving instructor. My son had 3 lessons with Ben and after each lesson he was more confident and more skilled. Ben praised him alot and got him ready for his restricted test which he passed first attempt. Thanks for a great experience.

Ben Davis is an excellent and professional driving instructor. My daughter was well prepared and confident from her lessons as well as receiving excellent instruction, Ben gave her a lot of feedback in preparation for her restricted test. She passed first time and the testing officer was really impressed with her confidence and safe driving. Highly recommend Ben for anyone looking for a driving instructor.

Ben was a super effective teacher when I was on my learners, respectful and patient he pointed out things to improve on and explained it until he knew I understood. He did my defensive driving course a while as well and he was informative and added a great personal touch to the 4 sessions. I highly recommend Ben Davis from DriveIQ Hamilton.

I have known Ben Davis for over 14 years. He was an instructor with my previous employer, instructing me regularly. Ben is very approachable, which really puts you at ease, and he imparts the required information in a very relaxed way. When Ben became a driving instructor, he was my first choice to give my son and daughter driving lessons. Both of them passed their Restricted and Full tests first time. I have no hesitation in thoroughly recommending Ben Davis of DriveIQ Hamilton

Ben Davis was an awesome instructor and took me for lessons to get my restricted license and also a brush up lesson for my full license. I was really nervous to start with and his years of experience showed in how he explained the driving skills so I was able to learn so much. I wish him all the success with DriveIQ

Ben Davis of Drive IQ taught both my daughters in preparation for their restricted driving tests. They each had 3 lessons with him and a final preparatory "test" before their actual restricted. Some of the techniques he taught them, especially for parallel parking, was eye opening to me as well - foolproof! Ben is calm and friendly so even driving in traffic for the first time was a breeze. Both girls passed their restricted on their first go - mainly because of Ben's lessons. Highly recommended.
