Driving lessons in Longniddry
Driving lessons in Longniddry should fit the journeys you want to make, not just the test you want to pass. Tell The DTC your starting postcode, experience and transmission preference so we can check local instructor availability.
Planning your lessons in Longniddry
Agree the address, not just the village
Send the street and postcode for your pickup, especially if you are arranging lessons around a move. If you need to finish elsewhere in East Lothian, mention that before booking so the instructor can check the return journey and next appointment.
Do not squeeze test-centre practice into a short gap
If your booked test is outside Longniddry, discuss the travel time before choosing a lesson length. A session needs to leave time for practice and feedback as well as getting home; the test centre shown below is not automatically the best choice for your circumstances.

Jez Huxtable
DVSA approved20+ yrsManual

I've been a driving instructor for 20 years, which means I've seen it all on the roads—and I've taught every type of driver you can imagine. Over the last two decades, my focus has always been the same: I don't just want you to pass your test; I want you to be a driver who keeps yourself and others safe for a lifetime. I am 100% committed to first time passes and keeping those great habits with you forever. When i am not on duty with the Driving Training Centre you might find me on call with the Young Drivers Association teaching 8-16 year olds at the Royal Highland Centre at Ingilston
