Excellent instructor, first-time pass! Andy was an outstanding driving instructor who helped me pass my test on the first attempt today! He was extremely patient, supportive, and focused on ensuring I was fully prepared. His guidance was clear, practical, and exactly what I needed to succeed. Highly recommend!

PASSED FIRST TIME WITH NICK! PASSED FIRST TIME!!! Just wanted to say a huge thank you, Nick, for such a brilliant driving experience. You put me at ease from the very first lesson and helped bring out a confidence in me that I didn’t even know I had. You were always patient, calm, and supportive, and you explained everything in such a clear and friendly way that made learning enjoyable rather than stressful. I honestly can’t thank you enough for all your encouragement and guidance. I’ll always recommend you to my family and friends - you’re a fantastic instructor and a genuinely great person to learn with. Thank you again for everything!

Dave is an excellent driving instructor, and was the third and final driving instructor I went to. Leagues ahead of others in terms of reliability and empathy - he doesn't expect you to get it instantly and supported me well in learning to drive

Coming off the back of a FIRST TIME TEST PASS. Thank you to my instructor Nick for helping me to achieve my pass. He was great at explaining things, manoeuvres and answers any of my questions. He was also great at encouraging and motivating me after my own mistakes and making me secure in my ability in to pass my test!

I passed my driving test today - all thanks to my instructor Nick . He is very good and professional and guides you in a way you remember all the references so well and ensures all your turns, manoeuvres and general driving is perfect. I highly recommend Lanes driving school (and especially Nick) to anyone looking to learn to drive.

I passed my test recently with Hakan from lanes, he was absolutely lovely from start to finish. Honestly I was a complete bag of nerves when I started, and I never believed I could learn to drive. But Hakan believed in me like I'm sure he does most of his pupils. If it wasnt for his calm, caring approach I don't know if I would of got over those nerves. He also got my son through his test the same month. Thank you so much Hakan you really are a credit to lanes, and you really care about your pupils.

Highly recommend Conrad I can’t thank Conrad at Lanes enough for everything he’s done for me. He took me on only a month ago after my previous driving instructor suddenly retired and left me without support right before my test date. From the very first lesson, Conrad was absolutely brilliant. He taught me so much in such a short amount of time and quickly helped me build the confidence I needed. His teaching style is clear, patient, and reassuring, and he always made me feel capable and calm behind the wheel. Thanks to Conrad’s guidance, I passed my test on Friday first time! I’m so grateful for his help and can honestly say he’s the best instructor I could have asked for. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, supportive, and knowledgeable driving instructor.

David Potter was excellent. Incredibly patient and encouraging. Put my daughter at ease and gave her the encouragement she needed to pass on the first attempt. He was very flexible when we had to change lesson times a couple of times. Would (and have) recommend him very highly.

I had an amazing experience learning to drive with Anwar from Lanes School of Driving. From day one, he was patient, calm, and incredibly clear in his instructions. Anwar has a unique way of making you feel confident behind the wheel, no matter how nervous you might be. He focused on helping me understand not just how to drive, but why certain techniques and decisions matter—something that really made a difference during my test. Thanks to his excellent teaching and constant encouragement, I passed my driving test in Sidcup! If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, supportive, and professional instructor, I couldn’t recommend Anwar highly enough. He’s truly exceptional!

My experience with lanes has been excellent. My driving instructor Dave has helped massively with my confidence while driving. I now see him as a mate more than an instructor because of his kind and caring personality. He isn’t about the money and really wants to see his students succeed.

Great experience with Lanes, learnt to drive with Dave and he was the best I could ever ask for, helped me learn so much, and was so positive no matter. He made lessons feel fun and something to look forward to, not just time to learn. Miss you Dave!

I am learning with Dave at the moment and it has been the best time. Every lesson is so enjoyable and you always feel like you have accomplished something. Dave makes a lesson out of anything and the way he teaches makes driving so simple I don’t want the lessons to end.
