I had Frank Judah as an instructor and he was amazing! I felt very calm and relaxed the whole time I was learning with him, which is amazing as I am a very nervous person. Frank would understand the best way to help you and he made it a very enjoyable experience for me. Definitely worth the money and the high quality of driving I have now gotten to. Passed my test 1st time thanks to him, I would 100% recommend! Shania. Worthing.

Jim was excellent instructor. He was very calm and patient. Taught me everything I needed to know for the exam and even more. I asked him multiple questions about what happens after I get my driving license and he was very helpful. He was never later for our classes and also was very flexible with the times of our classes. Also, he made the lessons enjoyable as we were having conversations. Overall, great experience. Definitely recommend him. Tidzhani. Brighton.

Having started some driving lessons roughly 10 years ago, I needed to start again not really knowing my experience levels. I started again with Frank who was able to quickly assess my performance and take me through everything I needed to know. He was very thorough, patient and vastly experienced to handle every situation of learning to drive. I can’t recommend him and L Plates highly enough. Thank you! Ben. Worthing.

Automatic Driving Lessons Hastings

October 2018

I started driving lessons eight months ago and was originally with another local instructor in a manual car. I didn’t enjoy driving and was stressed from the start to finish of each lesson, I wanted to give up learning and thought my dreams of driving around in flashy Lambo where gone forever….. But then a knight in a white Kia Picanto appeared!! he saved me from a life of stagecoach buses!! No more would I be battling the British weather or bribing my other half to pick me up a Mcflurry! 


I decided to switch to an automatic and it was the best decision I ever made!. I came across Mark Napier after trying to locate an affordable automatic driving instructor that could work lessons around my full time job and two small children, it was meant to be! Mark is a fantastic driving instructor and I can’t recommend him highly enough. He is extremely patient and understanding and also explained things in a way that even my little old brain could understand! I finally started to enjoy driving and felt determined to continue learning. After taking lessons with Mark for 4 months I passed my test first time! I couldn’t have done it without him as my instructor and I’m extremely grateful for all his hard work. 

If you’re after an amazing instructor he’s your guy! Jo. St. Leonards.

October 2018

I tried manual lessons when I was 18 and hated every moment of it. It took me years and years (14 years to be precise) to finally pluck up the courage to try automatic. And I have to say it was the best decision I've made in my life so far! I finally feel free and have more confidence in myself. I can take my two beautiful children out and have fun. None of this would ever had been possible without the amazing Terry. Driving with Terry was like meeting up with a friend. He is such a fantastic guy, so easygoing and soooo funny! We had a lot of laughs. He made me feel so at ease with everything. I managed to pass my test 1st time with only two faults. I have never felt prouder of myself! But the only down side is I miss seeing Terry :( I still see him regularly driving around on lessons but it's not the same. So Terry if you read this, I miss you dude. Hope the family and Leo are being good to you. Thank you so much for everything. I bet you secretly miss my "sound effects!" Haha. See you around, gimme a toot :) Xx. Maryann. Lancing.

Thank you to my brilliant instructor Colin for helping me pass my test! Arranging lessons with Colin was easy as he was very organised and quick to respond. The lessons themselves were well-paced and planned to help me learn and improve in the best way possible. Sometimes I was nervous or not very confident but Colin believed in my ability to drive and always remained patient and calm no matter how many times I made a mistake. I would definitely recommend Colin and L Plates Driving School to anyone thinking of learning to drive. Thank you again Colin for all of your help and advice! Joseph. Tunbridge Wells.

I learnt how to drive with Mark Napier, he was punctual, polite and very professional. I learnt with him before I left for uni and he allowed me to learn with him as I returned home.

I first started lessons with L plates driving school in 2015 and had around 20 hours of lessons with Colin Dawes, he teaches really well and is a extremely friendly instructor who will turn you into a fantastic driver. I stopped doing lessons because of personal problems but came back to him in may 2018 because I wanted to start learning again, On the first lesson back everything came back to me and colin made sure we covered everything for my test. Genuinely the best instructor I've come across. Would definitley recommend L plates and colin to a friend. James. Tunbridge Wells.

After attempting to learn to drive with another driving school around a year ago but having to give up as my nerves and anxiety got the better of me, I felt deflated knowing I’ve given up before, and extremely nervous getting in Terrys car for the first time. He quickly put me at ease and said to me this will change your life for the better I promise. Something that stuck with me! Terry is a brilliant driving instructor and I genuinely feel I couldn’t of got through this without his expertise and patience. Considering I was extremely fearful behind the wheel, I started to learn in February and had passed by July! Something I never ever thought would happen. If you think you can’t do it, trust me, you can! I will never be able to thank him enough for all his hard work but this review will have to do! Thank you Terry! Chelcie. Brighton.

I learnt to drive with Colin Dawes on the recommendation of both a friend and my partner. I was very nervous and had never driven before but Colin was very calming and encouraging right from the start. The lessons were well paced and concepts clearly explained. Colin was very patient whenever I needed more practice of certain skills and built my experience and confidence up. I did not get the opportunity to practice outside of lessons but managed to pass the driving test first time last month. I would recommend Colin for any learners especially for anyone who is scared of driving. Since passing I have felt confident driving my children to activities. Thank you Colin! Emma.

Driving Instructors Redhill

June 2018

I found John Mell truly a gem of a person disciplined to the minutest detail when it comes down to the point of learning to drive. The biggest issue with learners like me is first to “unlearn” whatever we have learnt so far throughout our years of driving. This is where I found his focused devotion and logical approach in helping me first to get rid of bad reflexes. 

Next comes his patience and care no matter how many times I made mistake he remained perfectly calm and composed. I further strengthened me in forgetting mistakes and focus ahead. This is very crucial as multiple things are going at the same time and if a learner just remain fixed at one mistake made, he or she cannot progress during actulndriving experience. 

I give entire credit of my success to John Mell and wish him all th best in future and would love to train my son through him in coming days. Shahzad. Redhill.

I am really lucky to find John from L Plates Driving School. I definitely agree with previous review that said he has patience of a saint and nerves of steel. He made me confident behind the wheel with his easy step-by-step guidance of how to drive safely. 
I was really impressed with how he took time to make a personalised notes and discuss it together on each and every single lesson, to ensure that we made progress as expected. He also made a 'battle plan' and did some mock tests before my practical test, using the 'favourite routes' used by the examiners in my area. 

Thank you John, I wouldn't have passed my practical test without your help. You are an excellent driving instructor and I don't hesitate to recommend you to anyone who needs driving instructor! Rini. Reigate.

My experience with L plates and Mark Napier as my driving instructor was very positive. It has taken me a long time to reach this point as I wasn’t a ‘natural’ and I doubted at one point whether I would become a driver. Mark gave me the confidence and solid support to realise this goal and believe that I could. Gaining independence as a driver will make a big difference to all aspects of my life. Mark Napier was very professional and showed a lot of patience and understanding when I was nervous and having difficulty with driving manoeuvres and in general. I would highly recommend L Plates and Mark Napier as an instructor to anyone who is starting their driving journey. Samantha. Hastings.

Driving Lessons Hove

April 2018

I came to L plates after discontinuing lessons from another instructor as he was not patient at all, and made me feel worse about my driving. I found Ray Brewster at L plates who I learned with briefly, but he kindly referred me to Jim Eckford when he stopped covering my area. And what a great move this was!, as I finally found an instructor that was a perfect fit for teaching me to drive. Jim could not have been more patient and supportive. He understands learner behaviour, did not once become frustrated with me, and was kind, polite, and a great conversationalist on our journeys. He was also very flexible with duration of lessons and any pick up / drop off locations. Whilst I was chuffed I passed my test (passing on my 2nd attempt with 5 minors), it then dawned on me, I wouldn't have the positive weekly lessons and driving with Jim anymore :( If I had stayed with my first instructor I'm not sure I would enjoy driving as much as I do now. I naturally drive quite fast, and rather than knock it out of me, Jim would advise me and allow me to correct my speed, and encourage me to build up my speed in the right places. L Plates give you good information and booklets to help you pass (passed my theory on 1st attempt), and I'd 100% recommend Jim at L Plates for any learner, whether brand new, or like me, had a few lessons under your belt. Teresa. Hove.

I was extremely nervous and, honestly, very reluctant to finally learn to drive as I had put it off for so many years, so I knew I was going to need an excellent instructor! Fortunately for me, in John Leeming from L Plates, that's exactly what I got! John is down-to-earth, friendly, funny and put me completely as ease from the start. He put up with my mini-meltdowns, my moaning about my life, and just kept me going. I will miss our lessons/therapy sessions! It is purely thanks to him that I kept calm and passed first time. So did my stepdaughter, who John had previously taught, and hopefully my stepson will also shortly be following in our shoes and giving John a family clean sweep! Thank you - you've actually changed my life. Amanda. Pevensey.

I had a bad experience when learning to drive about seventeen years ago, and subsequently abandoned the idea of passing a test and getting a car of my own. I called Colin after a neighbour had said how patient and kind he was during her lessons. Colin took time to understand my nervousness, and I found it very easy to learn with him as he has a very calm nature. He has also never been frustrated by needing to explain things to me over and over again! Lessons were well-organised, and I also appreciated the written guidance provided, meaning I could read about what I had done in practice during the lesson. I have had weekly lessons with Colin for the last few months; I passed my test first time this week, and I am now off to pick up my very own car! Thank you to Colin and L-Plates for enjoyable lessons and for helping me achieve something I thought I never would. Angela. Tunbridge.
