What Makes Lee Special for Learners
"Will I actually pass at Sidcup?"
We have had many students who have accomplished many things in life, but when it comes to getting their driving licence, they feared they wouldn't be able to overcome it. With the right instructor and the right approach, they did.
Our instructors have memorised every Sidcup test route. no surprises on test day.
"What if I'm really nervous?"
Half our students in Lee start exactly where you are right now, and they all get there in the end. We'll start on quiet Lee roads near Lee High Road and build up gradually.
Dual controls, patient instructors, and a pace that suits you. not us.
"What if I don't get on with my instructor?"
If you don't feel comfortable with the car or your instructor, we will do our best to arrange another instructor for you. Your comfort matters more than anything. Book a lesson and get honest advice on what you need.
