Sharon Riggs2025-07-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The best driving school around and the best instructor. I was taught by Scott who is genuinely a nice guy. He always made me feel relaxed and comfortable whilst driving and explained everything in an easy way and was happy to explain things again and again if needed. He soon became more of a friend and a really good listener rather than a driving instructor. If you are looking to take automatic lessons then look no further. I started lessons in November and I passed first time 8 months later. Carly Webb-Coates2025-05-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Passed today with only 1 minor after taking lessons with Scott for a year. Very happy, highly recommend to everyone! Yazmin Boyer2025-02-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t recommend Scott at Scottie’s Driving School enough! From the very first lesson, he made me feel at ease behind the wheel. He is very patient, knowledgeable, and takes the time to explain things clearly. I was a bit nervous at first, but Scott’s calm and encouraging approach helped me build confidence quickly. The lessons were always focused and productive, but we also had a laugh along the way, which made the whole experience more enjoyable. The best driving instructor by far! Thanks again Scott! ☺️ J C2025-02-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had an amazing experience at Scottie's Driving School!

Frequently Asked Questions
Your most common queries answered by our professional team.
Do you offer driving lessons in other areas besides Clacton?
Absolutely! We serve multiple locations across Essex and Suffolk regions. You can access our services for Driving Lessons in Chelmsford and Driving Lessons in Basildon, maintaining the same high standards across all areas we cover.
Can I switch between manual and automatic during my lessons?
While we recommend choosing one transmission type for consistency, we understand circumstances change. We can accommodate switches between manual and automatic vehicles, though this may require additional lessons to adjust to the different driving experience.
How far in advance should I book my driving test?
We recommend booking your test once you’ve completed around 20-25 hours of instruction and feel confident with independent driving. Our instructors will assess your readiness and guide you through the booking process when the time is right.
How long are the driving lessons?
Driving lessons can be booked for 1 Hour, 1 ½ Hours or 2 hours with 2 hour lessons being the norm (and most productive) lesson duration (Can be booked either one two hour lesson or two one hour lessons). Two hour driving lessons allow the pupil adequate practice time around the test areas and boost the learning process.
How many lessons will I need?
This really depends on several factors. The official DVSA answer is 40 to 60 hours this can be a bit misleading. Few people pass in less than 40 hours unless they have their own car and practise with family or friends. It also depends on your ability to retain the information being taught. Age and circumstances also play a great role in the ability to learn. The most important factor though is your willingness to learn to become a safe driver.
