Sharon Riggs2025-07-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The best driving school around and the best instructor. I was taught by Scott who is genuinely a nice guy. He always made me feel relaxed and comfortable whilst driving and explained everything in an easy way and was happy to explain things again and again if needed. He soon became more of a friend and a really good listener rather than a driving instructor. If you are looking to take automatic lessons then look no further. I started lessons in November and I passed first time 8 months later. Carly Webb-Coates2025-05-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Passed today with only 1 minor after taking lessons with Scott for a year. Very happy, highly recommend to everyone!

From the very first lesson, he made me feel at ease behind the wheel. He is very patient, knowledgeable, and takes the time to explain things clearly. I was a bit nervous at first, but Scott’s calm and encouraging approach helped me build confidence quickly. The lessons were always focused and productive, but we also had a laugh along the way, which made the whole experience more enjoyable. The best driving instructor by far! Thanks again Scott! ☺️ J C2025-02-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had an amazing experience at Scottie's Driving School!

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to the most common questions about our automatic driving lessons in Lowestoft.
Do you provide driving lessons in other areas besides Lowestoft?
Yes, we operate across multiple locations in Essex and Suffolk. We offer comprehensive Driving Lessons in Chelmsford and Driving Lessons in Basildon, ensuring consistent quality instruction wherever you’re based.
What makes automatic lessons different from manual lessons?
Automatic lessons allow you to focus entirely on road awareness, steering, and traffic situations without worrying about clutch control or gear changes. This often results in faster learning progression and reduced lesson requirements.
How many lessons will I need before taking my test?
The number of lessons varies depending on individual learning pace, previous experience, and natural ability. Most students require between 30-50 hours of professional instruction, though our instructors will provide personalised estimates after initial assessment lessons.
How long are the driving lessons?
Driving lessons can be booked for 1 Hour, 1 ½ Hours or 2 hours with 2 hour lessons being the norm (and most productive) lesson duration (Can be booked either one two hour lesson or two one hour lessons). Two hour driving lessons allow the pupil adequate practice time around the test areas and boost the learning process.
How many lessons will I need?
This really depends on several factors. The official DVSA answer is 40 to 60 hours this can be a bit misleading. Few people pass in less than 40 hours unless they have their own car and practise with family or friends. It also depends on your ability to retain the information being taught. Age and circumstances also play a great role in the ability to learn. The most important factor though is your willingness to learn to become a safe driver.
