Why choose automatic driving lessons?

Automatic lessons are a simpler, less stressful way to learn, and we teach automatic cars only.

• Easier to learn

  With no clutch and no gear changes, there is less to think about from the first lesson.

• Less stress in traffic

  No stalling at junctions or in queues, so busy roads feel calmer.

• More focus on the road

  You can concentrate on observation, hazards and road positioning.

• Good for beginners

  A gentle way to build core skills and confidence from day one.

• Nervous driver friendly

  A calm, patient, step-by-step approach with no pressure.

• Suits returning drivers

  If you have a licence but feel out of practice, automatic can make getting back on the road easier.

An automatic car is slightly more expensive to buy and can use a little more fuel. Passing your test in an automatic gives you a licence for automatic cars only. For most learners the benefits outweigh this, and we are happy to talk it through.

Why Burgess Hill is a good place to learn

Burgess Hill gives you a complete range of driving to practise, so you can build confidence step by step.

Quiet residential streets are ideal for your first lessons. As you progress we move on to the busier town centre, a number of roundabouts, countryside roads and faster routes such as dual carriageways, so you are prepared for real-world driving.

We train you in both town and countryside conditions, so you are ready for whatever the road throws at you.

Town driving

• Busy roads and traffic lights
• Pedestrian crossings
• Parking in busy areas
• Multiple roundabouts

Countryside driving

• Narrow roads and sharp bends
• Limited visibility
• Passing places
• Quiet residential practice

Burgess Hill driving test centre

The Burgess Hill driving test centre is on Victoria Industrial Estate, off Charles Avenue, Burgess Hill, RH15 9AG. Many learners from surrounding towns, including Brighton and Hove, take their practical driving test there.

The area includes both urban and rural roads, challenging roundabouts, real-world traffic situations, parking and manoeuvres, and it needs strong observation skills. Your instructor is familiar with the local roads, which helps you prepare.

We can use practice routes around the test centre. These are sample practice routes only and are not official DVSA test routes. We cannot guarantee that you will pass your test. Read our guide to preparing for your driving test in Burgess Hill.

Test preparation includes

• Mock driving tests
• Roundabout and junction practice
• Parking and manoeuvres
• Show Me Tell Me guidance
• Feedback after lessons
