Mann's School Of Motoring
Mann's School of Motoring or MSM for short (mirror, signal, manoeuvre) is a driving school based in the North of Sheffield, covering the S6, S10, S35 and S36 postcodes.
Offering manual car training for new / lapsed learners or drivers wanting a refresher to boost their confidence to get them back on the road.
I am a fully qualified DVSA (Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency) approved driving instructor, with a calm and patient manner, fully committed to developing a positive and safe driving attitude in the interests of road safety.
MSM is an all inclusive driving school, offering driver training for all ages and skill levels.
About MSM
I am Richard Mann, a retired police officer, having enjoyed an exemplary 30 year career in London and South Yorkshire. I was a Grade 1 police advanced driver for 22 years, trained in road craft, pursuit management and risk assessment at high speed. Since retirement, I have maintained my advanced driving skills, and a member of the Institute of advanced motorists (IAM RoadSmart).
​
I have always had a passion for driving throughout my career, with the long term ambition of becoming a driving instructor, with the sole intention of preparing safe drivers for our busy road systems. Offering driver training, with the over-arching message of road safety, sensible decision making and respectful driving, post test.
​
Driving is an important step, and a key life goal, which gives the individual
independence and flexibility, but my ethos is that a good driver is always a safe driver.
From my own experience as a paying parent, I felt I never got to find out what stage my child was at, as there was no feedback or assessment regarding their development. This left me unable to judge what I should practice with my child and what value I was getting for my money.
I now provide a clear and transparent process, offering the customer not only value for money but to be actively involved in the driver's development process.
So why choose MSM?

Test Tips
Firstly, I will be open and honest if I think you are ready for your driving test.
When booking a driving test, please speak to me before paying, just to make sure I am available to take you there.
You can do the driving test in your own car if I am not available, but a lesson prior to your test is highly recommended.
