Testimonials and Student Success Stories
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! Yazmin Boyer2025-02-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t recommend Scott at Scottie’s Driving School enough! 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
Do you provide driving lessons in other areas besides Leigh on Sea?
Yes, we cover extensive areas across Essex and Suffolk. You can find information about our services in Driving Lessons in Basildon and Driving Lessons in Chelmsford, along with our Suffolk locations including Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth.
What types of vehicles do you use for lessons?
We maintain a modern fleet of dual-controlled vehicles including both manual and automatic options. Our cars include Ford Fiesta, Toyota Aygo X, VW Polo, Toyota Yaris, Peugeot 208, Mini, Kia Exceed, and Skoda Fabia models, all regularly serviced and safety-checked.
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.
Can I start my lessons before passing my theory test?
Yes, you can start lessons before passing your theory test. Our driving instructors can also help prepare you for your theory test within the practical training sessions.
