Hi, I'm Howard founder of How-2-Drive. I set up my driving school in Norwich in 2009 to help people learn to drive and become responsible safe drivers. I have trained many people to become successful driving instructors through my instructor training programme. Many of these instructors go on to join the school with my flexible business franchise.

I had a few driving instructors over the years which I didn't feel comfortable with. David foster is by far the best instructor I had been with, hes very good at what he do. Made me feel confident and comfortable around him. Which got me the pass I had wanted a long time ago. For that I'm very grateful.

I had a great experience with How 2 Drive coming back to driving several years after failing my test the first couple of times round. I had lessons with John - who was friendly, supportive, accommodating, relaxed and professional and really helped me to build up my confidence again. I passed my test with flying colours! I really enjoyed our lessons and now feel so well equipped and confident to head out on the roads on my own. Would highly recommend to anyone!

A huge thank you to Blair who helped me pass my test today with 0 minors!! He helped me build my confidence up after I dreaded learning to drive and stayed patient with me throughout my lessons. He made me feel comfortable and always assured I understood what I was doing.
It was especially helpful when he provided me with a form to fill out at the end of each session so I could think about what went well and what I had to improve on to help progress my driving!

Customer Testimonials
I had an excellent experience with Nick from How-2-Drive. Fantastic instructor, easy to get on well with and very professional. I passed first time after 21 hours of lessons, so it is really good value for money. I would recommend How-2-Drive to anyone wanting high quality driving lessons from a friendly instructor.
Just passed my Part Three ADI Test!! Could not have done it without the excellent tuition and guidance from Howard Floyd of How-2-Drive. If you want to learn to drive or to become a driving instructor I cannot recommend this driving school highly enough. A very professional first class outfit who offer great value for money and who are very motivated to see you succeed! Tried other schools before this one and they just don't compare!!
Just qualified as an ADI after training with Howard. Excellent tutor, very patient and supportive. He has a very positive approach and is very versatile in his training techniques. I am very much looking forward to joining the team. Many thanks for your continued support throughout my training.

At How-2-Drive we teach people just like you how to drive! But our driving school won't just teach you to pass your driving test - we'll set you up to become a safe driver for life. Do you have a son or daughter who wants to start driving this year? Or perhaps you have a loved one who's always been meaning to get their driving licence and just needs a nudge in the right direction? I had a chance to sort my driving out when I lived in London but never got round to doing it. I had around 10 lessons but honestly felt like I didn't learn anything meaningful nor was the.
At How-2-Drive, we welcome people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities. You might be nervous about taking driving lessons— and that's perfectly fine! Your instructorwill put you at ease and give you the skills and confidence you need topass your driving test. We are proud of our team of professional instructors. We have male and female instructors teaching in both manual and automatic tuition vehicles. When you choose a How-2-Drive instructor you're getting the very best — we're driven to help you to learn!
Pass your test in less time by taking driving lessons in an automatic car. Learning to how drive an automatic is easier and will take less time — saving you money. Perhaps you want to pass your test more quickly, but would rather not take an intensive course? Or maybe you've already had tuition in a manual car and have decided to ditch the gears and the clutch for an easier drive? Automatic cars are perfect if you expect to do a lot of city driving where you'll be stopping and starting frequently.
If you don't have the time to take regular weekly lessons or need to pass by a certain date, going intensive could be the perfect solution for you. Our fast pass courses allow pupils to quickly gain momentum in their learning and take their test soon after. With the right trainer and the right course, this method of training can bring you up to test standard more quickly than weekly driving lessons. We can fast track your learning and bring you up to a safe driving standard in a week or two. Some driving schools will want to offer you a driving ‘crash course'.
Already hold a UK or foreign driving licence? Want to regain lost confidence, practice rusty skills, or get to grips with driving on UK roads? Our driving school doesn't just teach beginners how to drive. Even after you've been driving for years, we understand that there are lots of reasons why you might want to take refresher driving lessons. At How-2-Drive, we are committed to continuous professional development and believe that everyone drives better if they regularly update and develop their skills.
Passing your driving test is a fantastic achievement and one you should be rightly proud of. But this doesn't mean you won't be nervous when driving on your own or facing situations or conditions that weren't covered during your lessons. Our Pass Plus driving course is 6 hours priced at 180. You can choose to take your course in one of our tuition vehicles or you can use your own if you prefer. You'll cover all 6 modules including motorway driving. They are best delivered over one day and you'll get a Pass Plus certificate from the DVSA once you've completed all 6 driving modules.
