After passed the test, I was a bit worried about driving alone, however, I got to drive my car for MOT. Actually, it was amazing! I don't know how this worked, but it happened! When I was driving, at every junction, every aroundabout, while about to changing line, overtake bike, I just can hear what Lawrence usually would say in my brain, then I took a deep breath, followed his suggestion, just did it. THANK YOU Lawrence, it's so unbelievable!Do you use any magic way to teach in your lesson? Read Less

Lawrence was a fantastic instructor ! I had a instructor before Lawrence and I didn't feel like he really cared about me or was interested in getting me to pass. However when I went over to Lawrence he made all the difference and gave me the confidence I needed to pass my test ! He will not only teach you how to drive safely and how to pass a test but prepares you for everything to come when you eventually do pass and you are out driving on your own ! I would 100% recommend taking on Lawrence as a instructor and can assure you that you will not be disappointed. Read Less

Laurence is a very patient and friendly driving instructor. He makes sure every weak point in Driving is turned into a strength by contanstly working on those areas. He is very professional, always on time and uses various learning aids suitable to the learner. Laurence offers many practical tips that are useful both on the test and during normal driving. I totally recommend Laurence to anyone planning to take Driving lessons - you won’t be disappointed. Read Less

When I started driving lessons with Driving Crawley, I was fairly new to Crawley (and its roundabouts!!), after moving from Haywards Heath. My driving instructor in HH was okay, but when I moved to Crawley, I continued with my lessons with another local instructor, who made me feel that I cannot be trusted behind the wheel, to say the least. I really can’t thank Laurence from Driving Crawley enough for where I am today with driving! And today, I am SO glad that I started to learn to drive again with Driving Crawley. Laurence is very professional, knowledgeable, resourceful, patient, and supportive (and I can go on!) He is dedicated to teaching driving, this is evident during lessons and in his use of tools/resources, blogs and vlogs. He has helped me build my confidence in driving back up again, and reassured and supported me when I was losing the will to carry on! I cannot stretch enough that I will not have been where I am today in driving, if it wasn’t for Driving Crawley and Laurence, be it: the way he personalises my learning; the way he understands my strengths and weaknesses with driving and focuses on them each lesson; or the way he adapts his teaching techniques to suit my ways of learning. I have very briefly been through the reviews which the Driving Crawley received on Facebook and in here, and I totally relate to every single one of them, and couldn’t agree more! I would HIGHLY recommend Laurence to anyone who is wants to be a safer, confident driver! Read Less

Couldn’t recommend Driving Crawley and my instructor, Laurence, highly enough! He is very expirienced, patient, supportive and most important, very proffessional. He would analyze my weak points and think of strategies and best practices to strengten them, staying completely focused on every detail during every lesson. I belive he can work with anyone and teach them how to be a good driver. It took me only 30 lessons from being new to the UK way of driving to passing my test with only one minor. Thank you Laurence!

Thanks to Laurence for helping me pass the driving test in first attempt. A quick summary of my experience with Laurence. 1. Punctual: Always on time and had no cancellations. 2. Patient: Talks through your faults & areas of improvement calmly. 3. Practice: Covers Built-up areas, Town Center, Slip roads, Dual Carriageways, Spiral roundabouts, Country roads and busy car parks during practice lessons. 4. Professional: Very knowledgeable and this is evident from his blogs and videos. During lessons, Laurence clearly explains the impact of the fault and what can be done to avoid the fault. Read Less

I started lessons with Laurence having no previous experience and was quickly feeling comfortable on the roads thanks to his patience and good advice. He pinpoints what went well and what needs improving at the end of each lesson so you know what you need to work on which allowed me to pass first time!

When I wanted to learn to drive in the UK, I was hunting for a reliable driving school with relatively new car for the training, friendly at the same time a firm driving instructor and someone locally in Crawley. This is when I came across Driving Crawley. I did have over 15 years of driving experience in India and the USA, but like any country, following the rules of the land is very important. Lowrance my driving instructor from Driving Crawley impressed me in the first instance. He respects the time and being on time to pick me up for my driving class was the very first impression on Lowrance. He first learnt about my driving skills and then created a lessons plan to suite my availability and needs. I had to unlearn my bad habits which I picked over the years and learn the right way of driving. Lowrance is very keen to help us pick the right skills and his knowledge on how the actual driving test would happen really helped me prepare for for the test. One important factor in learning to drive is also the car that is used to learn and for the test. I have never faced a situation where the car had any technical issue. The car is also equipped with a car to review our driving on need basis. Overall a great learning experience and great preparation to PASS the test and also the skills that we pick goes a long way in being a safe driver on the road, for us, for our family and for the other road users. Thanks Lowrance for your help and support. Read Less

After moving to Crawley, not so long after failing 2 tests in Oxford, I sent Driving Crawley an email enquiring about lessons. After a swift reply from Laurence, I was back driving within a few weeks of moving. He taught me actually how to drive rather than drive to test, unlike my prior instructor. Not only this, but he also increased my confidence in being a competent driver. He is flexible with timings of lessons and also does weekends, which fit in perfectly with my busy schedule. Excellent punctuality and brilliant use of technology helped me understand new techniques. As well as this he also gets you to talk through how things went at the end of the lesson and you identify things you need to work on together which means that each lesson is tailored to fit you.

I had a great experience with Driving Crawley in spite of the fact that I was fairly new to the Crawley area and nervous about driving particularly on roads and in an area that was unfamiliar. Laurence was a very calm and patient instructor who put me at ease and made driving a fun experience. He didn't just teach me to pass the test but made sure I was a safe and confident driver for when the time came to drive on my own. He took in to consideration the routes I would be likely to do regularly so I now feel confident to drive them on my own. I'm very pleased to have now passed and would 100% recommend Driving Crawley!
