Manual Driving Lessons
Teaching in Petersfield, Bordon, Haslemere, Petworth and the surrounding villages
Yes, I know, My name is Pete and I live in Petersfield. You couldn't make it up.
After living in Petersfield for most of my life, I moved away for a few years. But I couldn't keep away so I have returned to my home town and I am pleased to say I am offering driving lessons in Petersfield and the surrounding areas. You will find my approach calm, supportive, detailed and thorough.
My first introduction to becoming a driving instructor was when I taught my two eldest daughters to drive and pass their driving tests a number of years ago. Following this, I decided to become a driving instructor full time and I thoroughly enjoy my role.
Having lived locally for some 40 years you can rest assured that I am familiar with the local roads that can be challenging for new drivers and I will help you to understand and safely negotiate and drive on those roads.
Should you need it, I will also help you with your theory test, when we commence your driving lessons.
Maybe you are a full licence holder and just need a little confidence building. With that in mind, I am also offering 'Refresher Driving Lessons'
Possibly you have had a time away from driving, not driven in the UK for a while or simply need to get to grips with a new car. I can carry out refresher driving lessons in my dual-controlled car or your own car.
You will find that I am a strong advocate for teaching "Safe Driving For Life" as safety on our busy road network is all important.
First Lesson Free- As a welcome to my new drivers I am currently offering you a driving lesson free when you book your first ten hours with me.
I have some availability for weekends and evenings as I understand that it is not always possible to take lessons during the working week.
For your first driving lesson call 0333 7729842 or simply send me an email by filling in the box below.
I look forward to meeting you on your first driving lesson.

What students said about learning with Pete
Bradley
Peter was an amazing driving instructor.
Extremely patient all the way through my learning experience never overloaded me with too much information at one time and made the whole learning process easy to digest.
Peter was Very friendly and made me feel comfortable from the get go making any previous nerves soon vanish. All in all very happy with my experience with peter and would recommend to anyone.
Caitlin
I highly recommend Pete as a driving instructor. He is patient, reliable and easy to get along with.
After learning the basics with a family member, I began lessons with him and passed both my theory and practical test first time. Before my practical test, we practised test routes frequently and also visited the test centre which definitely helped with easing nerves. We also did a few lessons after passing to make sure I was comfortable in my car which helped me get on the roads confidently and independently, and have now completed 600 miles a month after passing.
I would recommend Pete to anyone looking to begin driving or build up their confidence. PRIME DRIVING SCHOOL
Eseme
Very calm and easy to talk to to get help from. 10/10 driving instructor, passed first time 😁😁
Gemma
I could not have asked for a better driving instructor. Not only did Pete help me pass first time, he was understanding, helpful, kind, and professional throughout - he helped me learn to drive well, not just for the sake of the test, and I thoroughly enjoyed every lesson, even when things didn’t go well. Thank you so, so much Pete!
Harriet
Pete was a great driving instructor, I would highly recommend him. He really helped me gain confidence in my driving which was a great aid in passing my test!

Pete helped me pass my UK driving test in June 2024. I got my first driving test in Malaysia, which was far from as rigorous as the UK’s, hence my need to learn and pass the UK one (and get rid of old bad habits and some incorrect understanding).
Pete is always super punctual, friendly, and has a simple and effective way of explaining the rules. He got me to get rid of some old habits (e.g. cross hands when turning), and helped me really understand the working of roadabouts.
Overall it was really fortunate for me that Pete has time to support me!
Jessica
Pete was a great help and support throughout my learning experience. I have recommended to family and friends.
Johnny
Would definitely recommend, passed first time thanks to Pete. He didn’t get annoyed or frustrated, helped me all the way through which helped me get my license. Thank you very much
Lou
My daughter had a great ‘learning to drive’ experience and passed first time after in just over three month. Great communication - about progress , and suggestions about what practice she needed between lessons.
Martina
I can't thank Pete enough for all of his support. I was told it would've taken me months and months to be ready for a test, I passed it in within 2 months from starting my lessons with him! Thank you so much once again!
Millie
Pete was a FAB driving instructor. He’s very calm and patient and was good at explaining things in a different way when I often managed to confuse myself! THANK YOU!
Ruth
If you want to learn to drive or improve your driving confidence then I highly recommend Pete! I had a break from driving for a few years and needed to build my driving confidence back up. Pete was excellent from lesson one and I felt encouraged and supported straight away. Pete was calm, friendly and enjoyable to learn with. I now regularly drive with confidence and I'm completely changed from the nervous wreck of a driver I once was - thank you Pete!
Sophie
Before Pete, I was scared to drive. I was unsure of myself and lacked confidence. I had learnt to drive previously with other driving schools in the local area of Grayshott, Haslemere and Liphook etc but I felt I never clicked with the instructors. Then I met Pete. Pete not only taught me how to actually drive, but he taught me to believe in myself. He never gave up on me and always believed in me. I thought I was going to be one of those people that never drove, but Pete helped me to fall in love with it. I owe everything to Pete. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Not only is he inspiring, but a truly great person who’s kind and has a wicked sense of humour. Choose Pete to learn with and you won’t regret it! The best driving instructor ever. Thank you Pete!
Stephanie
Pete is a great instructor and gave me the confidence in maneuvers and roundabouts that I needed, after acquiring the basics from family. He was very calm and let me deal with situations safely whilst also giving guidance when needed. He was always punctual and allowed me to guide my lessons as to what i felt less confident on.
I passed with just 2 minors, thank you Pete!
