I am a fully qualified DSA approved driving instructor (ADI), who follows the DSA's code of conduct and has undergone a full CRB check, meaning I am a fit and proper person to teach you how to drive. I am also committed to constantly improving myself through CPD (continued professional development).

When I say 'individually tailored lessons' I truly do mean this, we can make sure that all lessons work for you, so if you don't like being lectured to for 10 minutes on how to do a parallel park, then we will not do this, I can just talk you through it as you go or you can just 'have a go', the choice is yours.

In fact I am so confident in the high standards that I offer that I am now recording some of my lessons and then putting them on my YouTube channel for the whole world to see, you can also use this as an opportunity to watch me before starting lessons. As far as I am aware I am the only driving instructor in Crawley who is doing this.

Thanks for visiting my website, my name is Laurence, I have been an approved driving instructor (ADI) since 2012, since then I have gained vast experience and developed my skills in various areas. Experience and success teaching those with special needs, such as Anxiety, Autism, Aspergers, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia and ADHD.
With the pass rate for the UK theory test currently being less than 50% it is clear than many new drivers struggle. So if you need to pass your theory test in Crawley and take that next step towards getting your full UK driving licence then this is the website for you! Did you know most people FAIL the theory test on questions, often the reason for this is because they only use the apps!
The pass rate for the UK theory test is less than 50%, meaning passing the theory test is often harder than people expect. It especially causes issues for those with special needs such as autism, dyslexia & ADHD who might struggle to understand the questions or have difficulty concentrating when revising.
The pass rate for the Crawley test centre is less than 50%, with the pass rate for students of Driving Crawley being 60-70% it shows that I know what is required and can pass this knowledge on! Don't worry I am not selfish with this knowledge, even if you are not learning with Driving Crawley I have made various videos to help everyone to become a safer and more confident driver, thus increasing your chances of passing the Crawley practical driving test first time!I will let you know when to book your test, this will be when you are ready and will stand a great chance of passing first time!
Often many drivers feel that when they have passed the standard UK driving test then it is the end of their learning, often the test just being seen as a hurdle to get over. Having passed 6 advanced driving tests, with all the relevant training to achieve this, I strongly feel that passing the standard driving test is, in fact, just the start!

I had Laurence as my trainer to become an ADI. I can say I really enjoyed his lessons and teaching style he is very carm and has a great knowledge on training a PDI. I passed all my tests and can say I honestly couldn't have done it without him. I would recommend Laurence to teach a beginner learner and PDI's.

After not driving for around 7 years Laurence made it very comfortable for me to get back on the road was very patient and understanding and would recommend him to anyone who wants to start learning or would like refreshers!

Laurence very kindly took me on after my first failed test with another instructor. He helped improve my confidence, my speed choices and understanding of gears. Laurance aways looks at the positives and encouraged me "not to spill the tea" (going to fast and not give yourself time to think.) Laurence is a great instructor ensuring that you drive safely and responsibly. Tailoring the lessons to you, and your individual learning style making sure it clicks in your head.

The youtube videos that Laurence produces really helped in reinforcing the lessons and general understanding of the Crawley area. I passed my test and am very grateful to Laurence for his guidance and patience.

Laurence was a great driving instructor and he helped me to pass my test 1st time. He would always ask me what I thought needed improving and always helped me with those things and by the end of the lesson I would feel more confident in those areas. Laurence was also incredibly helpful in the way that he very clearly cared how well I was doing in my personal driving at home, he would send links and find out as much information as possible for me.

He was also always ready with an answer when I had a question and explained everything very well so that I had a good understanding. He was always very kind and patient with me. I would highly recommend Laurence as an instructor.

Laurence is an amazing instructor, not only was he very informative and understanding within our lessons, but he also handled everything very calmly and focussed on the positive parts and gave great feedback to improve and work on my skills out side of lessons. I would recommend him if you're looking to not just pass, but pass confidently, I passed my test with 0 faults and it's all because of Laurence and his teaching methods.

Amazing driving instructor, I would recommend 100%. Laurence teaches you to drive safely and provides good resources with his blog and YouTube videos to prepare you for the test. He is very helpful and teaches you everything you need to know to not just pass the test but to drive confidently and safely on your own afterwards. He is extremely helpful, patient, friendly, and knows how to get the best out of you.

I passed my test with only 3 minors and I now feel confident and prepared for driving by myself. He talks about areas that you have performed well in to improve your confidence while also talking through areas to improve. You learn everything you need to know about driving including all types of roads, road signs, rules at junctions/roundabouts, stop signs, one-way roads, and so much more!

Always on time and professional, very knowledgeable, trustworthy, and very patient. Laurence is amazing at his job. I have had other driving instructors and can safely say that he is by far the best. I started learning to drive 3 years ago and I'd lost my confidence but after a few lessons with Laurence I noticed a massive improvement. Thank you Laurence for helping me to get my driving licence and giving me the confidence and knowledge to drive safely! : 5 star driving instructor!

Thanks a lot Laurence would have not passed without you!

I went in with 0 on-road experience to being fully confident in my own driving. Thanks to my time with Laurence I felt very calm and relaxed on the road and managed to pass my test first time. Laurence is a great teacher and very observant as he is able to pinpoint your weaknesses after every lesson, so you'll know exactly what you'll need to improve next time.

Above all I had fun learning with Laurence and he made the lessons both feel enjoyable and challenging. So once again thank you Laurence, I highly recommend him to anyone learning to drive.

Laurence helped me through all stages of my driving, with no experience and having not completed my theory i looked to begin my driving with means to gain knowledge from an instructor. He was very down to earth and understood all the challenges that come with driving, helping with all the problems you may encounter in any field. i would highly recommend him to anyone!
Luke Massey
Once again Laurence thanks for helping me pass my driving test first time. It has been a pleasure being taught by Laurence, he is a very patient and calm instructor, and can explain where you have gone wrong in a way easy to understand which makes it a lot easier to learn from your mistakes. I would highly recommend Laurence, Driving Crawley, to anybody looking to learn to drive as he allows you to learn at your own pace.

Laurence is an incredible teacher. He customized a plan for me to pass my driver's test on the first attempt. In addition to what he taught me during our driving lessons, he made himself available to answer questions via email and phone. This was very helpful between lessons while I was out practicing on the road. He is very responsive, always prompt, and dependable.

These are behaviors I seek when learning something as important as driving safety. I felt I got my money's worth working with Laurence and recommend him to new drivers as well as experienced drivers moving to UK from another country.

Very good instructor. Was very patient and understanding. Youtube videos were very helpful in understanding roundabouts. Always on time. Nothing bad to say. Great job.

Laurence is a excellent driving instructor, a few lessons and passed first time!! Highly recommended thank you again.
Jessica Hart
Laurence was an exceptional driving instructor! As an American expat, I came to Laurence with experience in driving a car (albeit with some bad habits that had to be unlearned) but complete confusion over the UK road system, signs, and rules. He was very patient with me and had a variety of tools and instructional techniques to adapt to my learning style.

His blog and YouTube videos were a useful aid in review and last minute revising before my driving test. In addition, Laurence was very organized and punctual. I picked Laurence due to all of the glowing reviews on google and it was absolutely the correct choice! I passed the test yesterday on my first attempt, thanks to Laurence

5 Stars Instructor. He is helpful, patient and very kind. He turned this whole experience of getting a driving licence stress free. I am thankful and happy. Today I passed my test with 0 mistake! Thank you Laurence for everything.

Laurence is an exceptionally talented driving instructor who is always able to give clear and concise explanations and feedback. The main goal of lessons was not only to pass the test but also to ensure that I'd become a good driver.

Lessons started promptly and were varied with lots of different teaching techniques employed. An added bonus was that lessons were always flexible based on my availability. Highly recommended.

Excellent and extraordinary driving instructor! Laurence is one of a kind!! He surpassed all my expectations and he didn’t only go an extra mile, but he went the second mile with his insightful knowledge on driving, the third mile with his intelligent “what if.... this happened? how would you approach this? “ questions that would challenge your driving understanding, the fourth mile with his patience, dedication and ability to develop a personalised session, the fifth, the sixth, the seventh mile and so on!

He is always on the road! I was previously taught by a different driving instructor and after failing my first driving test, I realised that I was fed with memorising the test routes instead of actually developing the driving skills to approach any kind of road! I was not confident at all when I had my first driving test and my passion for driving was somehow maimed!

I contacted Laurence because I have been following the amazing content he routinely uploads on his YouTube channel Driving Crawley - I did not have high hopes that I could get lessons with him but luckily he was available and my journey towards loving driving again, developing the right skills and understanding were ignited! His lessons have always been relaxing, really enjoying and the confidence he conveys is more than unique!

Plus he has amazing gadgets in his car - all the driving you do is recorded so you can go back and see your mistake...literally on the spot on his tablet :) besides of all the simulations he shows you in different driving situations. On my second driving test, I felt really peaceful, confident in my skills and ready to pick up that blue certificate in my hands!! What a big difference from my first driving test attitude! Thank you Laurence
