Welcome to Alfie’s Driving School
Reclaim Your Independence on the UK’s Fastest Road Networks
Passing your practical test on local town roads is a brilliant achievement, but pulling onto a high-speed three-lane motorway for the very first time can feel incredibly overwhelming. Navigating heavy traffic at 70mph, judging the safe gap between long heavy goods vehicles, and reading fast-moving overhead signs can trigger intense anxiety, even for otherwise confident motorists.
At Alfie’s Driving School, we know that motorway phobia is one of the most common hurdles facing qualified drivers today, and it often prevents people from visiting family, commuting for work, or enjoying long-distance freedom.
Our specialised motorway driving lessons are meticulously tailored for full licence holders who want to permanently conquer these high-speed fears and unlock total driving independence. We pair you with a top-grade local instructor who understands exactly how to calm your nerves, smooth out your steering responses, and break down high-speed hazard perception into simple, manageable steps.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common queries about mastering high-speed driving in Romford, Essex.
Can I use my own car for motorway lessons?
Yes, absolutely. Once your instructor has completed a quick initial safety check of your vehicle’s insurance, tax, and general roadworthiness, you can complete your advanced motorway coaching behind the wheel of your own personal car.
Can I take motorway lessons if I only hold an automatic licence?
Yes, definitely. We operate a premium fleet consisting of both manual and automatic vehicles. We will match you with a local specialist who will train you in the exact transmission type you drive daily.
How many hours of motorway tuition will I actually need?
There is no fixed minimum. Because our motorway training is entirely bespoke, many qualified drivers achieve total confidence after a single, focused two-hour or three-hour session, while others prefer a short block to cover multiple complex route networks.
Will the instructor take me straight onto the motorway on my first lesson?
Not if you are anxious. Your instructor will assess your general vehicle control on quiet dual carriageways or A-roads first. You will only join the live motorway slip road when you feel completely comfortable and ready to take the wheel.
Is there an exam or test at the end of this course?
No. This is a non-regulated, confidence-building course tailored entirely to your personal goals. There are no tests, examiner fees, or practical assessments at the end. You simply finish when you feel completely safe driving at 70mph solo.
