Driving Lessons in an Automatic Car!

At Drive Lincs, run by Kev Lynes – a DVSA Approved Driving Instructor with over 20 years of driver training experience. I specialise in automatic car driving lessons. My mission is to develop safe, responsible drivers who can think independently and make good decisions on the road.

I 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.

Get Started

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 and assessments in my career, including car (of course!), bus and lorries. I have also been lucky enough to have passed advanced driving tests and have several driving and teaching related qualifications.

My Mission

At Drive Lincs, I 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.

I tailor 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, my 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 all individuals.

Today after 15 years of intermittent driving lessons and 3 instructors I passed my driving test! I have alot to thank Kev for with regard to this, thankyou! As an older driver i thought i would never find the confidence in my own abilities to achieve this. He was able to reshape how I perceive driving in a way that really empowered me. If you are an older driver or someone who has been struggling with your own confidence, this instructor is the for you.

Kev is a fantastic instructor, who pays great attention to detail and focuses on teaching you to drive, not teaching you just to pass the test. He is very good at tailoring the learning to every driver and accommodating different learning styles. I enjoyed my time learning very much, and now know how to drive! I would recommend Kev to anyone!

I had an amazing experience learning to drive with Kevin. They were incredibly patient, professional, and made me feel confident behind the wheel. Their clear explanations and calm approach really helped me understand the rules of the road and improve my driving skills quickly. Scheduling lessons was easy, and they always arrived on time, ready to teach. I’d highly recommend Kevin to anyone looking for a friendly, supportive, and knowledgeable driving instructor.

My son only had 5 driving lessons with kev as he decided not to continue as he is planning on going to university however kev honestly was so patient with him, he went from having zero confidence to really enjoying each lesson and actually looking forward to them. I would highly recommend kev to anyone that wants to learn in an automatic as he really is a great guy. Fingers crossed after uni my son decides to start again and he will definitely go back to kev

Thanks for your really kind words, it means a lot. It was great to see him develop over the lessons particularly his confidence. I hope to see him again soon! I wish him well for his studies!!

After having a 10 and 5 year gap between previous driving lessons, Kev helped me rebuild my confidence behind the wheel and helped me pass my test first time! He was patient and taught me in a way that worked for me, talking me through manoeuvres and normalising the odd left/right mix up I would make. Thank you for preparing me so that I was test ready, I’m excited for my new found freedom!

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.

Owner's reply
I’m so pleased I could help! You’ve done it now, enjoy the freedom you now have. You can now drive your car without anyone sat next to you!

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!

Owner's reply
What a lovely review! Thank you soo much Lydia, it was a real pleasure to help you gain confidence and ability you needed to become a great driver and pass your test. You were a great learner, always engaged and inquisitive. Enjoy your driving and keep safe 😎

If i could give Kev 10 stars i would, I basically stopped driving due to anxiety, stress, lack of confidence. I passed my car test 30 years ago & the last few years just about stopped driving, guilt was crippling me as my son deserves to go to places especially seaside days out etc. Kev has given me my confidence back, taught me things in a way made sense to me & used the tools to make driving more enjoyable again & given me my life back. I have been to the seaside twice in the last couple of weeks with a very happy son. Thank you Kev for believing in me :)

Owner's reply
You just needed a little help, but you’ve done this yourself! I’m glad you are now able to go out and enjoy yourself!
