Driving Lessons in an Automatic Car!
At Drive Lincs, led by Kev Lynes—a DVSA Approved Driving Instructor with over 20 years of driver training experience—we specialise in automatic car driving lessons. Our mission is to develop safe, responsible drivers who can think independently and make good decisions on the road.
We work with learners to build confidence, road awareness, and real-world driving skills—not just to pass the driving test but to prepare for a lifetime of safe driving. If you’re simply looking for the quickest route to a passing the test, Drive Lincs may not be the right fit for you. However, if you want to become a capable, responsible driver who can handle the challenges of the road with confidence, you’re in the right place.
20 Years Of Experience in Driver Training
I started out my driver training career on London buses! I was a classroom based trainer and assessor before I become an instructor out on the road.
I’m proud that I’ve passed many driving tests in my career, including car (of course!), bus and lorries. I have also been lucky enough to have passed an advanced driving test and have several driving and teaching related qualifications.
My Mission
At Drive Lincs, we believe learning to drive is more than just passing a test—it’s about becoming a safe, responsible, and confident driver for life. Our approach goes beyond the basics, focusing on developing real-world driving skills, sound decision-making, and hazard awareness to ensure you’re fully prepared for the challenges of the road.
We tailor our training to suit each learner’s individual needs, helping you build confidence, overcome anxieties, and develop the independence needed to drive safely in any situation. Whether you’re a new learner, a nervous driver, or someone looking to refresh your skills, our goal is to support you in becoming the best driver you can be—not just for your test, but for the road ahead.
My Vision
We strive for a future where our roads are among the safest in the world, and that starts with every driver we train. Driving isn’t just about passing a test or getting from A to B—it’s about developing the skills, awareness, and responsibility to navigate the roads safely and confidently for life.
Our vision is to create drivers who don’t just control a car but truly connect with it—where driving becomes second nature, and safety is instinctive. With too many lives lost or impacted by road accidents each year, we are committed to making a difference. By shaping skilled, responsible, and mindful drivers, we aim to improve road safety, one learner at a time.
Driving Lessons
Want to become a confident, capable driver? Kev at Drive Lincs offers automatic driving lessons that go beyond just passing your test—they’re designed to help you develop the skills needed for a lifetime of safe and independent driving.
Older Drivers
Driving is an important aspect of independence for many older adults. However, we also recognise that with age, changes in physical, cognitive, and sensory abilities can affect driving skills. Our goal at Drive Lincs is to support older drivers in maintaining their driving independence safely and confidently.
Theory
Struggling to pass your theory test? You’re not alone, and Kev at Drive Lincs is here to help! If you find it difficult to understand, retain, or apply the theory—whether due to anxiety, learning differences, or previous failed attempts—we offer tailored support to help you succeed.
Pass Plus
While you've proven your competence on the road, real-world driving often comes with new challenges and situations. This is where the Pass Plus scheme comes in. Drive Lincs offer this comprehensive training program to help you build confidence and enhance your driving skills.
Confidence & Nerves
Struggle with nerves on busy roads? Drive Lincs helps drivers overcome anxiety and build confidence with tailored training, giving you the skills and mindset to feel calm, capable, and in control.
Neurodiversity
Learning to drive can be a daunting experience, especially if you’re neurodivergent. I am committed to providing a supportive and understanding environment tailored to meet the unique needs of individuals with Autism, ADHD, Dyspraxia, Dyslexia, and other neurodiverse differences.

Our Customer Feedback
Don’t take our word for it. Trust our customers
After failing my test twice nearly 10 years ago and having a terrible experience, I really wanted to try again - and thank god I found Kev!!! Throughout my entire experience of learning with Kev, he always stayed so calm, positive and kind - even when my brain decided to be otherwise. Kev has the unwavering patience of a saint, and a cheerful, bubbly and gentle nature that just made each lesson a complete joy to be in 
and I passed with 0 faults!!! Thank you so much Kev 
Would recommend Kevin. He is very patient. Makes you feel comfortable. Helped me with my confidence. Thanks to him I passed first time
Having had several driving instructors previously I still had very little confidence in driving and never felt test ready. Kevin’s patience and tolerant approach rebuilt my confidence and helped me enjoy driving. I had fun in our sessions, Kevin is so caring and really tailored the lessons to fit my learning style. Everyone needs a Kevin when they’re learning to drive. Thank you so much, you really transformed my life!
I am currently learning with Kev, he is very patient as I am a nervous learner. So I would 100% recommend Kev Lynes!
Kev is an amazing driving instructor who truly feels more like a friend. His patience and calm approach stands out. As someone who previously drove outside the UK but haven’t for a while, it was nice to have each lesson to fit my needs, and he explains things in a way that makes sense, and never rushes the process. Thanks to Kev, I passed my test and feel more comfortable on UK roads. I can’t recommend him enough!
Highly recommend without a fault! Honestly can’t fault Kev one bit! He is the most loveliest man, he doesn’t feel like a driving instructor when you’re in a lesson with him, he’s like a friend who you can just chat to. Kev has so much patience, I wouldn’t have passed my test without his amazing help! Thank you kev.
I started my driving lessons in the UK completely from the beginning with Kev and it was extremely smooth that I passed my test after just roughly 20 lessons. Kev was always calm, helpful and encouraging. He made all lessons comfortable for me and prioritised safety on top of everything. He was flexible to tailor each lesson to suit what I needed or expected to improve during my journey. He was also willing to spend time after the lessons for discussion on driving in both theory and practical circumstances on the road, and even for chatting sometimes. I’m satisfied and totally recommend Kev.
Outstanding instructor his patients with students is amazing. He takes his time to teach his pupils and helps them understand if he is teaching a new skill or correcting a mistake. Always takes into consideration what I would like to learn in each lesson making learning to driving fun rather than scary. 😊
Aced my practical test at the first try!
Kev is a fantastic instructor. Highly knowledgeable in all aspects of driving. He's a patient and calm teacher and i strongly recommend for anyone looking to ace the driving test!
