Driving lessons Lewes

April, 2017

To be honest, this was the last chance saloon. Having taken driving lessons twice before, I was giving it one more go before I threw the towel in. Issues with reversing round corners and a complete lack of spacial awareness, I thought my new driving instructor wouldn't have a hope in hell of getting me through a test. But Ray Brewster of L Plates did. 
Thanks to his patience, humour and dogged determination to get me to succeed I passed the test and they're now letting me on the road, ALONE. Ray was able to make the process fun and we even had an adventure together - avoiding a beautiful and enormous rutting deer that ran across the road in the front of the car on a country road!
Ray's professionalism helped me overcome my nervousness and though still nowhere near a perfect driver, his training will stand me in good stead for my first year of independent driving - at the grand old age of 48. Thanks Ray :o). Julie McNamee. Lewes.

Im a really nervous person and John made me feel comfortable and at ease! It didn't take me long at all and I passed first time. I would highly recommended John if you want to learn fast and pass first time. I can't thank John enough for the effort he would put in, fitting me in at my convinience so I could keep up with my driving. John is easy to get along with and definetly deserves the 5 stars I've given! Chelsea Shambrook. Eastbourne.

John was very patient and helpful throughout the course of my learning and at a very affordable price. John went over all of the things I needed to learn in good detail and was understanding whenever I wanted to try something again or whilst I was asking countless questions. All of his teaching led to me passing 1st time so I have no complaints. Luke Mitchell. Newhaven.

I can only recommend Colin Dawes. Not only an excellent driving instructor, but also a very organised and nice person. He will tailor lessons to your needs. L Plate's guidebook was also very helpful. Martin Aso. Tunbridge.

My driving instructor, Frank Judah, was very thorough every lesson. We went over every skill more than once to keep things fresh in my mind and increase my confidence with driving in general. I am delighted with the progress I made from my first lesson to my test and believe that this was due to the well-tailored lessons I had. Frank allowed me to choose what it was that I wanted to practise each lesson, as well as offering meaningful suggestions and advice that come with his obvious experience. I felt well-supported throughout and the mock tests helped prepare me for the practical driving test. I would definitely recommend L Plates Driving School, as they understand that different people will progress at different rates, make you feel at ease, and prepare you for driving after the test.  Sarah Marlow. Worthing.

My experience with L plates driving school was great. My instructor was very patient with me and was an extremely positive person who kept me safe in the veichle at all times.

Giles was my instructor and helped me pass my driving test. Giles is a very nice person and has a lot of patience.

Firstly I Just wanted to say a massive thank you to l plates and Giles Blanch for helping me pass my driving test. 
From start to finish he has been patient, understanding and adaptable. I always felt like my best interest was at heart even on the rare occasion that I try and kill us both in a lesson. An amazingly warm and friendly person Giles is a credit to your company, I honestly couldn't recommend him enough. My experience with l plates has been a absolute pleasure. Very easy to book and arrange regular lessons (which is impressive considering my work commitments) that cover all the necessary components to make a good and safe driver, and at a very reasonable rate taboot. Both l plates driving school and Mr Blanch have my lasting gratitude. Stefan J Smith. Crawley.

I would like to thank Tina at L Plates for helping me pass my driving test 1st time. I wouldn't say I was a slow learner, but when it came to driving I was! I just couldn't remember the maneuvers and would get in a muddle. It didn't matter how many times Tina had to tell me I never felt that she was getting irritated with me and always put me at ease. Although im such a worrier and found driving stressful at times, Tina was great at helping me pass. Thank you very much. From Ann Craddock Bexhill.

It has been an absolute joy and pleasure to learn to drive with L Plates and most of all with my instructor Colin Dawes! For the past six months Colin has been my Jiminy Cricket and good conscience in the car - he was always kind, calm, patient and knowledgable. We worked through the L Plates handbook week by week, and the mock tests Colin put together were tailored to help me improve any flaws and increase my experience ready for the big test. By the time the test came around, I felt safe, calm and very prepared. The hardest part now is going to be driving solo without Colin, but with his help I now have the freedom and confidence to drive, the world is my oyster and I am exceptionally grateful! Thank you Colin! Alexander Bell. Tunbridge.

Raj was incredibly patient with me and didn't mind having to repeat instructions or correct silly mistakes I kept making. He made me feel comfortable and relaxed just as if I was driving with a friend. For those reading this that are selecting an instructor, look no further. Raj will get you to pass whilst having fun.

Thanks so much to Richard, couldn't have asked for a better driving instructor. Patient, friendly and made what can be a nerve-racking experience a whole lot easier! After having a couple of lessons with another instructor from a different school I had been put off driving a bit but having such a positive experience was very much appreciated! Richard was always extremely punctual and flexible with times, locations and days. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Thankyou so much! Natasha Colyer. Seaford

I am a very happy customer because as of yesterday I am a legal driver! I passed my test with ease which included no minor faults. I would say that I was only able to achieve this with the help from my instructor Frank Judah, who was nothing but great from day one! We took the L Plates handbook which included all the driving drills and manoeuvres - which we did step by step each week until I was confident enough to start taking mock tests to really improve my overall driving experience. Anything wrong I did on these mock tests we identified and improved leading up to the test, meaning on the day of the actual test I felt confident with everything I did - passing first time. I would like to thank L Plates and Frank for helping me achieve this! Callum Ray MacDonald. Worthing./

I felt I had put John Mell under a lot of pressure considering the short time-span I gave myself. However, his techniques and patience really helped me achieve my 1st time pass.

Raj was an extremely helpful and cooperative instructor that supported me really well while I learnt to drive. He made the learning easy and explained everything well which helped me progress quicker than I thought I would. Throughout lessons there was good chit chat too which again helped me to get through driving calmly, I would absolutely recommend Raj to anyone looking to drive as he is an overall fab person aswell as instructor.

My driving instructor Frank McClaren was what I expected from a driving instructor and more. He exceeded my expectations in every department. He was flexible with his lessons to work around my shift work, his knowledge and general instructing skills were a level above and to top it off he is a brilliant guy who makes you feel at ease from beginning to end. The pricing I thought was very good considering the experience and quality of Frank's work. I would and already have recommended Frank to a few relatives and friends and will continue to do so. Overall I think I made the correct decision with deciding to use L Plates and Frank. Outstanding instructor and a credit to L Plates and the industry as a whole! Thanks you frank.

I had my instructor John Leeming for around 4 months from start to finish, I was a complete beginner who had never sat in the drivers seat before, but John helped me in just 4 months to pass my theory and practical tests 1st time. John is a wonderful instructor who is calm and made me feel comfortable from the get go. He would go the extra mile to help work around my personal life with lessons and we just got on soo well it was like going driving with a friend. He was calm, informative and extremely competent and I would highly recommend him. Carla Lewis. Eastbourne

Raj was a helpful, friendly and patient instructor. His lessons were calm and clear, and progressed at a pace I was comfortable with. Whenever I was unable to have a lesson at a usual time he did his best to work around my work schedule to find another time, and was always willing to start the driving lesson at my place of work if need be. I feel confident behind the wheel of a car and am looking forward to getting my own, something I was worried wouldn't be the case when I started out. Nathan Smith. Crawley.

Having John Mell as a driving instructor was great. He taught me thoroughly and was always truthful with me. He didn't rush me into doing my practical and he knew when I was ready this is why I passed first time. We had fun as well as being serious when we needed to be and I would recommend him to anyone who wants to learn how to drive in Redhill and Reigate. Couldn't have faulted him one bit and it's going to be wierd not having him next to me teaching me when I drive. Thank you very much. Emily Wood. Redhill.

Before I began driving with L Plates I had been learning on and off for 3 years, and was low in confidence and very anxious at the thought of driving lessons. When I began my lessons with Tina and in an automatic it changed my driving experience! I felt so much more confidence and like I could drive anywhere, Tina trusted that I could do it so she never got too involved and simply let me get on with it. I would seriously reccomend this service to anybody who gets stressed at the thought of driving, I now love it! I've now passed with just two minors, and can't wait to get on the roads! Thank you very much Tina, a lovely woman who is very good at her job. Amelia Clifford. Bexhill-on-sea.

I had my driving lessons with Raj for approximately a year and I could not have asked for a better experience. Raj not only taught me how to pass my driving test but also how to be a safe driver afterwards. During my lessons with Raj he always remained calm, explained exactly what I did wrong and got me to do it right the next time around. If I didn't understand how to do a manoeuvre or made a mistake Raj would take out his iPad and find different ways to explain it until I really understood it and could do it on my own!. He also made my confidence grow by pointing out my improvements and my strengths. I would definitely recommend Raj as a driving instructor for a great and safe experience. Thanks Raj.

I contacted L-PLates having looked through multiple positive reviews of the firm and its instructors online. Their prices were also very competitive for the Brighton market.  I was lucky enough to have Ray B. As my instructor. I have had some driving experience but not confident on the road. Immediately Ray assisted in putting me at ease behind the wheel giving me a lot of useful pointers and tips.  He was extremely patient and calm throughout and I think because of his experience and teaching style I passed considerably quicker than expected! Thanks again Ray! Tom Mahoney. Brighton.

I had a previous instructor before hand with a different driving school and switched to Ray at L Plates and it dramatically improved my skills in driving and I could definitely not have made a better decision.

My experience with this company and one of its instructors was one I won't forget as I have now gained my own licence. Although the it took me a year to drive I feel like my instructor (Frank MCLaren) was very very supportive throughout times when I was under stress. I experienced highs and lows with learning how to drive as I feel most individuals do but, Frank supported me and gave me the reassurance that I was heading in the right direction to gain my licence. This is why I rated the service very high. Money wise I personally found it reasonable as I was paying myself however I do feel paying in instalments would have been easier for example: £100 up front for a few lessons then knowing you were covered for the next few lessons. Overall the quality I thought was fantastic and am throughly glad I chose to learn and had the pleasure to learn with L plates and their instructor Frank.  Emily. Hailsham.
