Summary

Highly skilled and professional driver with extensive knowledge of the Highway Code rules, local traffic regulations, and London roadways. Being a driving instructor for over 10 years demonstrates exceptional proficiency in roadworthiness and vehicle safety. The added training of being a bus driver and dealing with the public makes me absolutely confident that I can help deliver excellent results to London transport and the team in this role. Also at the tender age of just 18 I embarked on a career to become a Police Officer which I think helped me to mature tremendously. In that role almost every situation was encountered which I think I dealt with well. With all these experiences involved I think I've got the skills and character required to do really well in this position.
