With the proper guidance from Richard, I PASSED on the first attempt of my driving test last Saturday in Erith test center which is believed to have a low pass rate. I had serious chills and cold feet but Richard said to me “stop feeding yourself with the negative reviews online. The main reason people fail is not the test center, it is that they’re not well prepared. For anyone still looking to pass theirs, I highly recommend you go with them. They’re very welcoming and professional. I would advise you take at least 2 classes before you even take on your theory test.

It's always good to have drive lessons with a Palmeiras (brazilian football team) supporter (I'm kidding mate), he had corrected my mistakes and made me more comfortable at the test day.

I had the pleasure of working with Richard before my driving exam in London, and I highly recommend him. I passed on my first try, thanks in large part to Richard’s efforts. With over 30 years of experience, Richard is not only professional but also friendly and incredibly helpful. He knows the exam routes inside out and covers all possible scenarios you may face. I suggest taking 2-5 lessons with him. His cars are clean and comfortable, ensuring a smooth experience during the exam.

Richard is a helpful, friendly and supportive instructor who easily answers any of your questions and gives you all the info you need to pass first time. I'm extremely grateful and would gladly recommend Greenlight to anyone wishing to acquire a driving license, or a pass plus certificate (do note that he only teaches automatic.)

Today I passed my test and with out Richard this would not have been possible. Richard is an amazing instructor very professional, flexible and calm. His experience is second to none and would highly recommend him. After many lessons with him we actually built up some really good rapport and now see him as a good friend. This really helped me personally as it put me at ease and also I have had personal issues going on outside of learning to drive and Richard was very flexible and was so nice to an ear to listen which like I said helped put me at ease and kept me cool calm and collected. I couldn’t thank Richard enough for helping me pass my test and in such good time aswell. Thank you!

F.A.Q

What classes do you offer?

Lessons are available for beginners of all abilities, or part trained. We also offer tuition for those who have previously driven overseas and refresher courses for those already qualified.

Do I need to pass my theory test before I start driving lessons?

You can start learning to drive on or after your 17th birthday.
It is recommended that your lessons run concurrently with your Theory Test training to add to the understanding of the Theory Test syllabus. Your Theory Test pass certificate is valid for 24 months after passing the test.

Do I need to learn the highway code?

The Highway Code is the source material for learning the rules of the road and should be learned thoroughly during the early stages of practical tuition.

How many lessons will I need?

Learning to drive isn’t just about passing your test – although many do see that as the end game.
You will be learning a skill for life – a skill that will serve you in many facets of your life going forward.
People learn at different rates depending on many things – frequency of lessons, and ability to assimilate new skills and techniques among them.
DVSA suggest that the “average” person learning the full syllabus will require a minimum of 40 hours professional tuition with plenty of private practice, but ultimately we are all individuals who learn at our own pace.

How do I book driving lessons?

Lessons can be booked on the telephone, or by using our bespoke driving lesson booking app.

How do I pay for my lessons?

Payment is by Bank Transfer ensuring full tracking and visibility

Do you offer discounted rates for block payments of lessons?

Yes. The price per lesson reduces according to the number of lessons pre-paid.

Do I need to change the address on my driving license when I relocate?

It is a requirement of the DVLA that your driving licence shows your current home address – primarily so that you can be easily contacted should the need arise.
