The Next Street - New London

"A big Thank You to Doug Patterson! He is the best instructor I could have asked for! I was skeptical that in mere 8 hrs of instruction, beginning with zero experience, it is possible to go on the road safely. Doug, however, made it seem easy and natural, taught me what i needed to know, built my confidence and skill sets to the point where I can now practice and feel safe and comfortable on the road. Mr. Patterson is an outstanding instructor and I am very grateful for all he taught me! Thank you!"

"I had a wonderful and a very educational experience with Doug Patterson. He is very patient and calm and taught me a lot! I was afraid of pulling out the parking lot to the street, but by the end of the first lesson I brought us back to the Next Street without any fear :-) Great experience."

"Doug Patterson is one of the best driving instructors there ever can be. He is very kind, very funny, and leaves you with more confidence and skills after every drive. I am so proud I got to have him as an instructor and can’t thank him enough!! Don’t miss out on this awesome driving instructor!!"

"Doug Patterson is everything you hope for in a driving instructor, but you never think you would be that lucky actually to get it! He is friendly, calm, knowledgeable, and a great teacher. On more than one occasion, he thoughtfully went out of his way to ensure my complete and comprehensive understanding of every detail of driving and parking, guaranteeing my road test's success, ensuring my confidence and safety on the road as a new driver. Thank you, Doug!"

"Doug Patterson is awesome! My daughter was so nervous. She took the classes in Norwich and we started the driving in New London. She never met Doug. He was just awesome, talked to her, explained everything and really helped her learn and feel comfortable and confident. As a mom I had questions of what I should teach her and and what I shouldn't and he was just as helpful to me as her. Never made you feel dumb or silly for asking. I would recommend him highly. He has found the place he is meant to be. Thank you Doug. I know my daughter is much more safer out there thanks to you."
