DVSA Approved Driving Instructor since 1992. Over 30 years on the roads of South Manchester. Every lesson, every time — always Bill.
Bill O'Malley has been a DVSA Approved Driving Instructor since 1992 — over 30 years of teaching learners across Sale, Urmston, Timperley, Flixton and Stretford. In all that time, his commitment has remained exactly the same: every student drives with Bill personally, from their first lesson to the moment they pass their test.
There are no other instructors at Rowland School of Motoring. There are no substitutes, no hand-offs, and no franchise arrangements. When you book with Bill, you get Bill — every lesson, every time.
His first-time pass rate of 76% is far above the 48% national average. But for Bill, that number isn't a marketing figure — it's the result of three decades of careful, patient teaching on the same roads the examiners use. He knows every junction, every bus lane, and every pedestrian crossing on the Sale and Stretford test routes. That knowledge is built into every lesson from the very beginning.
Bill's teaching approach is calm, patient and encouraging. He adapts every lesson to the individual — so whether you're a 17-year-old who's never sat behind the wheel, a 49-year-old who thought they'd never pass, or a nervous driver who had a bad experience elsewhere, Bill finds the right pace for you.
Rowland School of Motoring is the trading name of William O'Malley. Bill is based in Sale M33 and covers the Trafford borough and surrounding South Manchester postcodes. He collects students from home, work or college, and accompanies every student to their driving test in his dual-control car — the same familiar vehicle they've trained in throughout.
"Bill, you are a fantastic Driving Instructor! Your friendly and helpful style of teaching got me top marks, and I passed my test first time with flying colours. I really couldn't have done it without you."
— Farida, 23, Rusholme
