Driving Crawley

At Driving Crawley, we pride ourselves on our commitment to providing the highest-quality driving lessons and advanced driving instructor training. Our team is led by Laurence, an Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) with extensive experience and skills in various areas of driving. Since becoming an ADI in 2012, Laurence has passed six advanced driving tests, including the DIAmond Advanced Test, IAM Masters, RoSPA Gold, Cardington Special Test, and the DriveTech Advanced Driving Diploma.

Our experience and success in teaching those with special needs, such as anxiety, autism, aspergers, dyslexia, dyspraxia, and ADHD, sets us apart from other driving schools. We have developed teaching skills through courses on coaching and Client Centred Learning (CCL) techniques and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). This allows us to tailor our lessons to meet the unique needs of each student, ensuring that they receive the best possible instruction and support.

Laurence has a thorough knowledge of the Crawley area, which enables him to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the local roads and driving conditions. He has also sat in the back of over 100 UK driving tests, giving him a vast knowledge of what examiners expect, how tests are conducted, and common test routes. While passing the driving test is an important goal, we believe that developing safe driving attitudes and skills within drivers is the primary aim.

Testimonials

Our clients have provided us with wonderful feedback about their experience with Driving Crawley. Here are a few testimonials:

• "I found Laurence for my son after various failed attempts at finding a suitable instructor. My son is autistic and needed a patient, understanding, and supportive but firm and fair instructor. Laurence is exactly that! He taught my son with ease. My son absolutely loved being taught by Laurence. Nothing was too much trouble or difficult. His knowledge, expertise, and patience are second to none! My son has just passed his test thanks to Laurence from Driving Crawley! We all can't thank him enough. He's that great we've now got him teaching our daughter! Can't recommend Laurence and Driving Crawley enough. Thank you." - Sarah (unicorn lady)

• "After failing multiple times last year, I thought of reaching out to Laurence. I have been watching his YouTube videos since last year and have always found them extremely helpful. So, in December 2019, I requested him for his availability. Luckily, he was available from February 2020 and I started taking lessons from him. And I can say that, it was the best move in this long journey. Laurence focused on my weak areas and always tried to bring positivity." - Deepti
