Annabel's School of Motoring is an independent driving school led by instructor Annabel Wallis MBE — patient, friendly and reliable, with over thirty years of coaching experience.
Lessons are structured to the individual in progressive stages, designed to exceed the DVSA driving test standard.
Every course is structured in progressive stages to exceed the DVSA test standard — whichever stage you're starting from.
For complete beginners or qualified drivers returning after time away — tailored to your pace, including confidence-building in night driving, reversing or parking.
Two-hour sessions covering signs and signals, lane discipline, joining and leaving safely, separation distances, overtaking and emergency procedures.
A post-test course (6+ hours) covering motorways, country and town driving, all weather conditions and night driving — often reduces insurance costs.
Free access to Theory Test Pro's full DVSA question bank, plus mock practical tests so you know exactly what to expect on test day.
Get inexpensive driving lessons and save money by block booking. The first lesson is free for complete beginners.
The fee for tuition or use of the tuition vehicle is £42 per hour. At least 14 days' notice will be given of any change in fees. Lessons can be paid by cash, cheque or bank transfer (account details provided on booking). Intensive courses require full payment at least 4 weeks before the start date. DVSA test fees are set by the Driving and Vehicle Standards Agency — the theory test must be booked directly via gov.uk.
