ABOUT ABBIES DRIVING SCHOOL

Our driving school has been established for over 50 years, teaching people from the east London and Essex areas to drive. We have a team of over 20 instructors, many of who are multi-lingual helping a multi-cultural society to get on the road.

We have both male and female instructors who understand the needs of a changing society. Skillfully and patiently, they teach people to become confident and safe drivers.

For those thinking of changing their career, we offer driving instructor training. We have developed a course designed to train the next generation of driving instructors to teach in a friendly yet effective manner.

MANUAL OR AUTOMATIC LESSONS?

WHICH ONE IS BETTER?
We recommend the manual car for most people, as once you've passed your driving test you can drive both manual and automatic cars. Although it's more difficult than the automatic, the vast majority of people get to grips with it and pass their test.

However, for those who find the manual car too difficult to learn in or because of injury are unable to take manual lessons can still go for the automatic car. As it is easier, due to the fact that there are only two pedals as opposed to three on a manual car, you may end up taking fewer lessons. Of course, everyone is different in how quickly they progress; but one thing you can be sure of is that whichever option you take, the instructor assigned to you will do their best to get you through your test and make you a safe and confident driver.
