    Bungay School of Motoring was established in 1963, by the founder George Pickering. George built up this driving school from nothing to a very successful small business,which consisted of 3 driving school cars,3 mini buses and 2 cars which were contracted to service the local schools picking up children taken them to and from school. It also had an office in Beccles where a phone was manned, taking new bookings for pupils,as this was the time before answer machines, email and the mobile phone.

    Ray Rookyard took over in 1995 when George decided to retire.Ray had been working in the Police Force riding motorcycles and driving patrol cars.Ray kept up the good work building the business until deciding to go part-time in 2005 where Simon Playford took over. Simon had been working in Ipswich and Norwich for another driving school before being offered the business. In 2012 Simon was awarded a check test grade 6 which is the highest grade which can be achieved, and only 6% of the 43,000 U.K Driving Instructors hold.

Bungay School of Motoring

I have trained hundreds of young and mature students to drive on our nations roads. By using new methods I have studied for over the year of 2014 I am now able to teach every student, in the way they want to learn, by taking into account their own personal thoughts and feelings and beliefs. I can then tailor each lesson to each student in a way which helps them achieve their own personal goals in driver education and safe driving for life!

My interests are music, playing in bands in Beccles and London and having the honour supporting some of my childhood hero's over the years, Bands and artists like The Selecter,Bad Manners,Dave Barker,Desmond Dekker and The Skatalites. I have played all over the UK, Germany, Belguim, Sweden and Ireland. I also like sport in general with football being my favourite sport. I really do enjoy my job. I get a real buzz when my students start from humble beginnings, to see them grow to responsible road users and passing their Driving Test, their ultimate personal Goal! So if you would like me to teach you to drive,or would like further information. Please feel free to contact me!
