Driving Lessons in East Sussex

Burgess Hill proved the most challenging at 43.2% pass rate despite 11,191 tests taken between 2024 and 2025, while Eastbourne topped the region at 52.1%. The county's mix of coastal roads, South Downs hills, and market town centres creates varied driving conditions. Women actually performed better at Hastings (51.1% vs 47.5% for men), unusual for the region, while Eastbourne showed a more typical split (50.6% women, 53.3% men). Automatic success rates hovered around 40-47% across all three centres, with the coastal locations of Eastbourne and Hastings offering slightly more automatic-friendly conditions than Burgess Hill's challenging hill starts and narrow residential streets.
