I selected Let’s Drive for their exceptional instructor availability and outstanding online reviews – particularly for Rick, whose patient approach stood out immediately. Despite decades of driving in the US (and the bad habits to unlearn), Rick’s expert coaching helped me pass first time through his brilliant teaching methods. His memorable mnemonics – like “tires and tarmac” for safe stopping distances or the 6-point observation routine – rewired my instincts for UK roads. Country lane driving finally clicked when he reminded me: “You might know the road, but not the other drivers on it.”

While I aced the theory test (just one question wrong, thanks to thorough DVSA book study and 114+ hazard video replays), the practical was where Rick truly shone. He transformed my 45 years of experience into an asset, calmly reinforcing that “you already know how to drive” whenever nerves threatened to override my skills. Each lesson addressed my specific questions with authoritative answers, replacing doubts with confidence. Today, I’m not just test-passed – I’m a fundamentally safer driver, thanks to Let’s Drive’s exceptional instruction.

Let’s Drive impressed me immediately with their efficiency – they handled all the logistics swiftly, leaving me free to focus on learning. My instructor, Elizabeth, was simply brilliant: incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and with a teaching style that put me completely at ease. Her expertise made even the most challenging manoeuvres feel achievable, and her encouragement built my confidence week after week.

For anyone looking for a driving school that combines seamless organisation with first-class instruction, I couldn’t recommend Let’s Drive more highly. Five stars all round!

After a decade of driving in India, I needed expert guidance to master UK road rules and test techniques. Let’s Drive’s intensive course was the perfect solution – their structured 10-hour programme covered every critical concept, from roundabout protocols to defensive driving. Thanks to my brilliant instructor Narcisa’s patient yet precise coaching, I unlearned old habits and aced my test first time. Her ability to break down complex UK-specific manoeuvres (like parallel parking on narrow streets or merging onto motorways) gave me unshakable confidence. For any experienced international driver transitioning to UK roads, I couldn’t recommend Let’s Drive more highly. Five stars!

Learning to drive felt like an impossible dream until I met Lucas at Let’s Drive. In just 21 days, his patient, reassuring approach transformed me from someone with zero confidence to a driver who now handles dual carriageways and complex roundabouts with ease. His brilliant teaching methods – breaking down challenging situations into manageable steps – made all the difference.

What could have been stressful lessons became genuinely enjoyable thanks to Lucas’ infectious enthusiasm and encouraging style. That first-time pass with just 2 minors still feels surreal, especially mastering today’s updated road regulations. For anyone doubting they can learn to drive, Let’s Drive proves it’s possible – with the right instructor.

After a long break from driving due to COVID-19, I needed a crash course to prepare for my test – and Let’s Drive delivered brilliantly. Their team organised an intensive week of lessons with incredible efficiency, matching me with the outstanding Elizabeth. Before our first lesson, she proactively shared tailored theory materials and video resources to maximise our limited time together.

Elizabeth’s teaching was transformative: her dual visual/verbal explanations of manoeuvres, keen eye for my weak spots (especially on roundabouts and junctions), and unwavering patience rebuilt my confidence rapidly. On test day, her belief in me proved justified – that first-time pass was truly a team effort. For post-pandemic learners needing focused, expert instruction, Elizabeth and Let’s Drive are simply unmatched.

I’m thrilled to say I passed my driving test first time thanks to Joe Wharton’s brilliant instruction at Let’s Drive. His calm, clear teaching style and expert knowledge of the test requirements gave me complete confidence behind the wheel. Joe has a real talent for breaking down complex maneuvers into simple steps and knowing exactly when to challenge me to improve.

I couldn’t recommend Joe highly enough to anyone looking for an instructor who genuinely cares about their students’ success. His patience with learners and sharp eye for test-critical details make him one of Let’s Drive’s star instructors. Five stars without hesitation!

Elizabeth proved to be an outstanding instructor – her extensive experience, calm demeanour and patient approach created the perfect learning environment. She had an exceptional eye for detail, promptly identifying even subtle errors in my driving, and provided clear, constructive feedback to help me improve. Her ability to explain complex manoeuvres in simple terms and tailor lessons to my specific needs made all the difference.

Choosing Let’s Drive was one of the best decisions I made in my driving journey. Thanks to Elizabeth’s expert guidance and the school’s proven methods, I passed my test with confidence. I wholeheartedly recommend Elizabeth and Let’s Drive to any learner looking for first-class instruction.

From the very beginning, Let’s Drive stood out as the obvious choice for my driving lessons. Their excellent reputation, demonstrated through consistently positive reviews and high pass rates, gave me confidence I was making the right decision. The flexible scheduling options were particularly valuable, allowing me to fit lessons around my university timetable without any stress.

What truly set Let’s Drive apart was their personalised approach to instruction. My instructor, Rick, demonstrated exceptional patience and expertise throughout our 34 hours together. Using the innovative TOTAL DRIVE app, he tailored each lesson precisely to my needs, focusing on areas requiring improvement while steadily building my confidence. His ability to provide clear, constructive feedback transformed my driving ability week by week. I particularly remember the breakthrough moment when I finally mastered reverse bay parking – a manoeuvre that had challenged me right up to test day. Rick’s calm guidance and practical tips made all the difference.

The comprehensive preparation extended beyond practical skills. For the theory test, I combined Let’s Drive’s expert advice with disciplined independent study. Using official DVSA materials alongside practice apps and online videos, I developed a thorough understanding of road rules and hazard perception. This dual approach paid off when I passed both tests on my first attempt.

Now as a qualified driver, I appreciate how Let’s Drive’s instruction has given me more than just a licence – it’s provided genuine life skills. From navigating busy city traffic to handling country lanes, I feel prepared for any driving situation. The learning techniques I developed have even helped in other areas of study. For anyone seeking patient, professional instruction that delivers results, I couldn’t recommend Let’s Drive more highly. Their combination of expert teachers, structured learning and flexible approach creates the ideal environment for driving success.

Learning to drive was all about gaining confidence and independence for me, and Let’s Drive helped me achieve exactly that. I’m thrilled to say I passed first time, overcoming my biggest challenges – reverse parallel parking and navigating complex roundabouts – thanks to Rick’s incredibly patient and supportive teaching. His calm reassurance and ability to break down each manoeuvre into simple steps made all the difference.

Preparing for the theory test was straightforward using the official DVSA app alongside helpful TikTok explainers, while organising lessons through Let’s Drive was refreshingly easy. Rick’s kindness and adaptability stood out; no matter the situation, he had a way of guiding me through it without stress.

Now, with my licence in hand, I’m focused on building even more confidence on the road. Let’s Drive didn’t just teach me to pass – they gave me the foundation to keep improving as a driver. For anyone looking for stress-free, effective lessons with fantastic instructors, I couldn’t recommend them more!

His dedication goes above and beyond typical instruction, and the results speak for themselves. We were so impressed that we’re excited to have Will teach our second son starting in March.

After failing ten previous driving tests, I’d nearly lost hope – until I met Rick Dallaston at Let’s Drive. His exceptional blend of expertise, structured teaching methods, and personalised approach transformed me from a discouraged learner to a first-time pass holder. Rick’s unique ability to identify and patiently address my specific weaknesses made all the difference where other instructors had failed.

Now, the independence to commute to work and take family trips has been life-changing. What sets Rick apart is his thoughtful methodology: he breaks down complex skills into manageable steps while adapting seamlessly to each student’s learning style. For anyone who’s struggled with driving tests (or even just starting out), I shout from the rooftops about Rick and Let’s Drive – they deliver results when it matters most.

Simon truly embodies everything a great driving instructor should be. From my very first taster lesson with Let’s Drive, his patience, adaptability and clear teaching style made it obvious I’d found the perfect instructor. What impressed me most was how he tailored his methods to suit my learning style – whether breaking down complex maneuvers into simple steps or adjusting his explanations until everything clicked.

This personalized approach paid off brilliantly when I passed my test first time with just three minors! Simon’s ability to build both skills and confidence is remarkable. He’s not just an asset to Let’s Drive, but exactly the kind of instructor every learner hopes to find. I couldn’t recommend him more highly to anyone starting their driving journey.

What truly sets him apart is his ability to adapt his teaching style on the fly, finding just the right way to explain concepts until they click perfectly.

This tailored approach led to what still feels like a dream – passing my practical test first time with just three minor faults.

As an experienced driver transitioning to UK roads, Narcisa at Let’s Drive provided absolutely invaluable guidance during my intensive 10-hour course. Her sharp eye for detail and ability to pinpoint exactly what I needed to adjust – from roundabout protocols to mirror checks – made all the difference in compressing years’ worth of driving habits into test-ready skills in just 72 hours.

What impressed me most was how Narcisa tailored her expert advice to my specific needs, offering crystal-clear pointers that immediately improved my driving. This wasn’t just instruction – it was precision coaching at its finest. Thanks to her outstanding support and Let’s Drive’s proven intensive course structure, I achieved what initially seemed impossible: acing my UK driving test in under three days. For any experienced drivers needing to adapt quickly, I couldn’t recommend Narcisa and Let’s Drive more highly.

Learning to drive in a second language felt daunting, but Kevin at Let’s Drive made the experience perfect. Despite my limited English, his incredible patience and clear teaching helped me master everything – from roundabouts to parallel parking. When I struggled with confidence, he’d encourage me: “Ana, you can do this!” in that calm, reassuring way of his.

What could have been stressful became rewarding thanks to Kevin’s support. He never rushed, always found ways to explain things simply, and most importantly, made me believe in myself. Now I’ve passed, I’m not just grateful for the driving skills – but for Kevin showing me what I’m capable of. For any non-native speakers nervous about lessons, Let’s Drive’s instructors are miracle workers!

As an experienced American driver needing to convert my licence, Elizabeth at Let’s Drive provided exceptional instruction during my intensive 10-hour course. Her teaching brilliance shone through in how she tailored lessons – trusting my existing skills while expertly bridging the crucial gaps between US and UK driving. From roundabout protocols to national speed limit signs, she focused precisely on what I needed to know for test success.

What could have been a stressful adaptation became surprisingly enjoyable thanks to Elizabeth’s patient, collaborative approach and down-to-earth personality. Her ability to calm my nerves during both lessons and the actual test was remarkable. For any international drivers or experienced motorists transitioning to UK roads, I couldn’t recommend Let’s Drive and their outstanding instructors like Elizabeth more highly. They don’t just teach you to pass – they equip you to drive confidently in Britain for life.

My birthday voucher for driving lessons led me to discover Let’s Drive – and what a fantastic gift it turned out to be! While I found the lessons properly challenging (as all good learning should be), my instructor Kevin made every session incredibly rewarding. His ability to tailor lessons precisely to my pace and learning style transformed what could have been daunting into an enjoyable, confidence-building experience.

From mastering roundabouts to perfecting my parking, Kevin’s patient guidance and expert feedback helped me progress faster than I’d imagined. For anyone considering driving lessons – whether as a gift or for yourself – I can’t recommend Kevin and Let’s Drive highly enough. They’ve turned my birthday present into a lifetime skill I’ll always treasure.
