Learner feedback
I passed my test first time hallelujah!!!!Dawid is a great instructor! I had a couple of instructors before him and Dawid helped me the most to get prepared. He is honest, calm and encouraging. He created personalised plans to help me in my weak areas of driving and made sure that I was test ready. One thing I appreciate the most is that he also got me ready for real-life driving scenarios and not only just ticking boxes for the test. I recommend him as an instructor for anyone! (Just to add some extra detail, I'm 34 years old, and it's never too late to start driving!!)

Dawid is an amazing driving instructor, couldn’t recommend him enough! He’s really chill, patient and makes you feel comfortable and confident. He quickly understood exactly what I needed to work on and tailored each lesson to help me improve. The progress I made after every lesson was massive, and I genuinely felt myself becoming a better driver each time. Thanks to his teaching, I managed to pass my test first time with no issues! (In Crawley) Really grateful for all his help and would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for a great instructor!
Alfons Ferrari — 8 September 2026
I just passed my driving test first time thanks to Dawid, he really helped me to gain confidence with my driving and created such a calm and joyful atmosphere to learn in. He always explained things really clearly to me and helped me to understand my mistakes and ways to correct them. I cannot thank Dawid enough and I would definitely recommend him to anyone wanting to start learning to drive.

I passed my test with Dawid, would recommend him as an instructor always! He creates such a calm environment while teaching all the necessary skills needed to drive and pass a test. He's full of knowledge and explains everything in great detail which is extremely helpful. An amazing instructor!
Shannon Campbell-Smith — 22 July 2026
I had Dawid Zarnowski as a driving instructor, he helped me pass first try. He was extremely helpful leading up to my test and wanted to help me in any way possible, for example, showing me different websites to use to help with reverse parking as that is what I struggled with. Highly recommended having him as an instructor.

Ready isn’t about the date. It’s about driving independently.
My role is to help you understand your strengths, identify the areas you can still improve and reach the point where you can confidently say:
“I am ready.”
Lessons in Crawley
Crawley is one of my main teaching areas, and I provide automatic driving lessons for learners in and around the town. Lessons can start from home, school, work or another agreed location, and you can also arrange to finish somewhere different if that suits your plans. Just let me know in advance so we can plan the lesson properly.
If you live just outside Crawley or you’re unsure whether I cover your area, send me a message on WhatsApp or use the contact form and I’ll let you know.

Preparing for your test in Crawley?
If your practical test is booked at Crawley Test Centre, you can find more information about preparing for the area and what to expect on my Crawley Test Centre page.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a provisional driving licence?
Yes. You need a valid UK provisional licence before you can drive on public roads during a lesson.
Do I need to pass my theory test first?
No. You can start practical lessons before passing your theory test and work on both alongside each other.
How long are the lessons?
Most lessons are 2 hours. This gives us time to introduce and discuss a subject, practise it, review what is working and what still needs attention, then put it into practice again. The aim is to move from more guidance at the start towards greater independence as the lesson progresses, without feeling rushed.
Can you pick me up from home, work or school?
Lessons can usually start from wherever is most convenient for you, whether that’s home, work, school or another agreed location. I’ll always try to be flexible, as long as it fits with my schedule and the area I’m teaching in.
Can I start with you if I’ve already had lessons elsewhere?
Yes. We will start from your current level and build on what you can already do rather than automatically starting again.
Is Crawley a difficult driving test centre?
Crawley may feel more demanding because of the mix of busy roads, multi-lane roundabouts and situations where decisions sometimes need to be made slightly quicker. The test itself can also take you outside the busier parts of Crawley and into quieter surrounding roads.
With the right preparation, Crawley is absolutely manageable and can actually be a very good place to build confidence in a wide range of driving situations.
What if you don’t have availability or don’t cover my area?
If I’m unable to offer you lessons because my diary is full or your location falls outside my usual teaching area, I may still be able to help. As an instructor with the 5-star-rated ELITE Driving School, I’m connected to a wider network of instructors and may be able to recommend someone suitable or point you in the right direction.
What is your cancellation policy?
ID Driving School operates a 48-hour cancellation policy. If you cancel with 48 hours or more notice, there is no charge. Cancellations with less than 48 hours’ notice may be charged up to the lesson value, reflecting reasonable financial loss. Where reasonably possible, I will try to refill a cancelled slot. If that time is successfully refilled, you will not be charged for it. Full details are in the Terms & Conditions.
