About
At Driving Needs Academy, we believe that learning to drive should be a positive, stress-free, and rewarding experience. Based in Basingstoke, our school is led by Wasim Abbas, a fully qualified DVSA-approved driving instructor with years of experience helping learners of all levels. Our mission is simple: to give every student the skills, knowledge, and confidence to become a safe and independent driver for life. Whether you are getting behind the wheel for the very first time, preparing for your driving test, or looking to refresh your skills, you’ll find patient, friendly, and professional guidance with us. We take pride in our high pass rates, our reputation for calm and supportive teaching, and our ability to tailor each lesson to the needs of the individual learner. With flexible timings, competitive prices, and a commitment to your success, Driving Needs Academy is here to help you every step of the way. If you have taken a break from driving or find certain situations stressful – such as navigating roundabouts, parking, or driving on the motorway – our refresher lessons are the ideal choice. Tailored to your needs, these sessions focus on rebuilding confidence, sharpening essential skills, and helping you feel calm, safe, and entirely in control on the road. With supportive, step-by-step guidance, you’ll rediscover the freedom and independence that come with confident driving.
