Your local driving school in Suffolk
Have you been searching for a manual driving instructor in your local area? Our Waveney school of motoring delivers weekly driving lessons in Lowestoft, Oulton Broad, Carlton Colville and the areas in-between.
We’re a family-led independent driving school. Unlike the national brands that also offer driving tuition near you, we are based locally in East Anglia.
Our patient and friendly instructors are ready to coach you from nervous novice right through to passing your test with flying colours! But we won’t just teach you how to pass your test – we’ll teach you good driving habits that will set you up for a lifetime of safe driving.
How do we help our pupils pass so quickly?
Our structured driver training course has three stages:
- Learn — first, we’ll cover all basic driving skills within the first 10 hours. We will give you practical experience of all road types, junctions and all the reversing manoeuvres. You won’t just sit in the car and talk!
- Develop — then, we’ll be there to support you whilst you practice your new-found skills.
- Master — finally, we’ll teach you to make the right driving decisions on your own. You’ll develop the confidence to pass your driving test first time!
Above all else, our motto is: fun gets done! We believe that you will find learning easier if you are relaxed and enjoying your lessons.
Need to pass in a hurry? We’ve got you covered! Learn more about our intensive driving courses in the Lowestoft and Yarmouth area.
How to choose the right driving instructor
We understand that it can be tricky to find the perfect instructor for your needs.
Firstly, it’s easy to be overwhelmed with choice. Secondly, it can be very difficult to tell the difference between one school and another.
Well, we think it’s impossible to know for certain whether an instructor is right for you until you’ve actually taken a lesson with them. That’s why we give you your first session half-price! No need to block book hours of sessions in advance. In fact, there’s no obligation to continue taking lessons with us at all!
Finally, once you’re confident we can help you pass, you’ll then be able to take advantage of our block booking discount and make yourself a tidy saving!

Block booking driving lessons deals can be a great way to shave money off the cost of lessons. But many other driving schools will expect you to pre-pay for 10 hours of tuition before you’ve even met your instructor. What happens if you discover that you don’t like them?
At How-2-Drive, we do things differently. All you have to do is book your introductory two-hour lesson. You pay for one hour of tuition and we’ll give you the second hour free!
Once you’ve met your instructor and you’re confident we can help you pass you can then choose to pay by the hour or unlock our block booking discounts.
…or perhaps you’ve already taken classes with another school and are now waiting to take your test? No problem. We offer test preparation and refresher courses too!
Why choose How-2-Drive?
Challenge accepted! We’ll give you five good reasons:
- No upfront commitment. Get your beginner’s two-hour trial lesson half-price so you can see what you think of us without having to book a whole block of lessons in advance!
- Block booking discounts. If you like what you see, you can make a saving of £20 off the pay-as-you-go lesson price for every block of 10 hours you book.
- Save yourself time and money. With our Structured Driver Training System we’ll help you pass in less time than the DVLA average*. This will save you a wedge – more than £400, in fact!
- Buy local. We’re a family-run, independent driving school based in Norfolk. By taking lessons with us you’ll be making a sound ethical decision and help to keep more money in our local economy.
- Bonus: you’ll also get our How-2-Drive App so you can track your progress, book lessons, manage payments and practice for your Theory Test!

If you are a complete beginner, we can teach you how to drive to a high standard in about 30 hours. By this point you’ll be ready to pass your UK practical test.
If you’re a learner driver who already has some road experience, we’ll aim to do it even quicker than that!
This is easily one of the most common questions we get asked at How-2-Drive.
We know you want to learn how to drive in as few lessons as possible. We understand that you don’t want to feel rushed. But, at the same time, you also don’t want your tuition to drag on for longer than necessary.
Clearly-structured driving lessons
By using our Structured Driver Training System, we are able to deliver well-planned lessons that have clear objectives. Learning to drive is a considerable investment and we want you to get good value for your money.
According to the DVSA, it takes an average of 47 hours to pass the practical driving test. And that’s for learners who are sensible enough to study with an Approved Driving Instructor. On top of this, the DVSA says an additional 20 hours of private driving practice is also required.
How many sessions can we save you?
But who wants to be average? As a result of our specially-designed Structured Driver Training System, our pupils take 17 hours less than the DVSA average!
Our tried-and-tested system can reduce the time it will take you to learn to drive. We consistently bring our pupils up to pass standard within 30 to 40 hours of instructor contact time.
That’s up to 17 hours less than the average learner driver. We can save you time and money!
You will be given access to our How-2-Drive app when you start taking driving lessons with us.
Your instructor will use it to record your progress after each lesson. This will give you a record of how well you are doing and what you need to learn or practice next.
You will also be encouraged to keep a reflective log. You can use this to review your own learning so that you can discuss your objectives with your driving instructor at the start of each lesson.
Yes, we will! We’ll give you our FREE Theory Test App which will allow you to learn at your own pace.
But, theory is nothing without practice! So, during your practical driving lessons, we’ll bring the theory you’ve learned to life!
We generally recommend taking your theory test as soon as possible. This way, it won’t hold you back when your instructor tells you you’re ready to book your practical test.
Read our guide to preparing for your driving theory test to get started!
Yes, of course – provided its within our local area and you make your instructor aware before your lesson.
*According to the DVSA (the people who set the driving test) it takes on average 47 hours of driving lessons and another 20 hours of private practice to pass the UK driving test.
By using our structured driver training system, we help our learners pass after an average of just 30 hours of driving lessons – that’s 17 hours fewer than the DVSA average!
