About GB Driving School
My Mission
I aim to provide the best driving education possible. My mission is to ensure that every student becomes a safe and confident on the road.
We all want to be good at our jobs and work hard to achieve that. The five areas listed below allow me to reflect on my performance. I regularly ask myself, how am I doing? And is there anything I can do better?
Because......
1. Patience: A good driving instructor understands that learning to drive can be challenging and requires patience to guide a student through the process, allowing them to learn at their own pace.
2. Clear Communication: Effective communication will be essential for explaining the complex driving & traffic concepts in a clear and understandable manner, ensuring students grasp my instructions and hopefully eventually feel confident behind the wheel.
3. Adaptability: I would hope as an instructor I can adapt my teaching methods to suit your individual style and needs, tailoring my lessons to address specific areas and then giving personalised instructions.
4. Strong Interpersonal Skills: Building a rapport with you is crucial for creating a supportive and encouraging learning environment. As a good instructor I aim to listen actively and then provide constructive feedback.
5. Focus on Safety: Prioritising safety is paramount for a good driving instructor. I have to instil safe driving habits, emphasise risk management techniques, and ensure you develop the necessary skills to navigate various road conditions confidently.
I will always aim to send interesting and useful content to help your home learning also. . . . Thanks for reading

“Gary helped me to pass my test in just 3 months which I was so grateful for! I was a very nervous learner and he helped me feel at ease and comfortable, and he’s still always happy to help if I have any questions, highly recommended :)”
”I had a great experience learning to drive with Gary in Seaford.He is very patient.From the very first lesson, Gary was calm and reassuring, which helped me feel confident and relaxed behind the wheel. He always provided clear, easy-to-follow instructions that made learning both simple and enjoyable. I learned a lot throughout my lessons.
And I’m excited to share that I passed my driving test!
I would definitely recommend this driving school to anyone looking to learn how to drive or improve their skills.”
“Cannot recommend Gary enough, he is a wonderful, calm and professional teacher. As an older learner I was very nervous to start my lessons but Gary put me at ease straight away, he strikes the perfect balance of pushing you outside of your comfort zone but also not pushing you to far or too quickly. All progress is tracked and lessons are structured on what you would like to learn and progress with whilst also keeping in mind the end goal of passing your test. With Gary’s excellent teaching I was able to go from my first lesson to passing my test within seven months.
I took up learning to drive again after many years and was a very nervous driver.
Gary is super friendly and really helped me gain confidence as a driver, enabling me to pass first time.
Thanks Gary
Couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor. Gary is a great teacher and nothing was too much trouble for him. I looked forward to my lessons and always came home afterwards buzzing. His feedback was always constructive and I never felt like I was being told off even if I messed up. He has great knowledge of the road and always explained things in a way that was easy to understand. With his help i managed to move my test date forwards and pass first time. I couldn’t recommend Gary enough.
“I couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor! They were an absolute dream to learn from so lovely, kind, and endlessly understanding. Every lesson felt calm and encouraging, and they always explained things in a way that made sense and built my confidence. I genuinely looked forward to each drive, and I’m so grateful for their patience and positivity. Highly recommended!”
Gary was so patient with me and really got me focused. He is an excellent instructor who I really recommend.
I had been trying to pass my driving test for over a year and even changed two driving instructors, but I still wasn’t ready for the final practical test. Eventually, I met my tutor Mr Gary from Bill Plant Driving School, he was very helpfull and after taking only 11 lessons with him, I passed my driving test on the first attempt.in March 2025. So, for me, Bill Plant Driving School deserves a 10 out of 10 review. I am forever grateful to Mr Gary, I will remember you for the rest of my life. This is one of the greatest achievements of my life. Its really appreciated gary Thank you so much 🙏

Recently passed with Gary as my instructor. Gary made me feel comfortable, explained everything well and helped me understand things I was struggling with. I could not recommend Gary enough 👍🏼 …
Gary was an excellent facilitator for my learning, he didn’t just tell me how to be a good road user, he made me think about what I need to do to be one. Driving lessons became more than just something I needed to do, Gary made it something to look forward to - a stimulating, esteem building experience.
He is patient, and active in his approach to teaching and for this I grew quickly in confidence and competency on the road. I was ready in five months for the test, and I passed first time.
As well as being a great teacher, Gary is a wonderful person too - it was truly a pleasure to learn with him.

I’m incredibly thankful to Bill Plant Driving School, and especially to my instructor, Mr. Gary K Bedford. Gary is an exceptionally patient and knowledgeable instructor who teaches in a clear, structured, and organized way. His methodical approach helped me bridge the gap between theory and practice, making the learning process smooth and effective.
If you’re planning to learn automatic driving, I highly recommend Mr. Gary Bedford. He’s one of the best instructors in East Sussex.
I couldn’t recommend Gary enough, he helped me pass my driving test first time. He’s patient and really calm.
