I passed first time with Dave in Milton Keynes - I took a 20 hour course and passed this morning with 2 minor faults. Wooop Woop! Thank you drivejohnson's and Dave! I would recommend Dave to anyone who is nervous he will 100% look after you.
Appalling experience with driving instructor NAILA MANSOOR. Driving instructor to empty your pockets on lessons with no taught content. The instructor uses her phone during lessons, turns up late and doesn't actually teach you anything; she wants to make a profit. I was not taught to complete cockpit checks, and the handbrake was always left down. How to do an emergency stop, moving away and stopping, safe positioning, mirrors (vision and use), anticipation and planning including MSM and PSL routines, how to use junctions, crossroads and slip roads. How to use rounadabouts safely and confidently as she would just grab the wheel or abruptly press the brake if I was in the wrong lane. I was not taught any of the manoeuvres including reversing and turning the car around. I was supposedly taught a parallel park but she lost temper after two attempts saying to leave this for another day. I could go on about the beyond poor experience. Customer service initially responded to my complaint but then allow Naila to make inadequate excuses which just proves I will not be the last pupil to suffer from poor experience and be out of pocket. "Helping pupils to learn to drive safely and pass fast is our speciality" clearly not. Avoid at all costs.

I could not have asked for a better driving instructor. John Sundaresan has been amazing to me. He has been patient, kind, flexible, and consistent. He's given me all the necessary skills to be a safe and confident driver and I'm so grateful and so happy I passed my test today 14/4/22 1st time with just 4 minors, thank you so much
DriveJohnson's is a fantastic driving school and I highly recommend them. After being let down by another driving school at last minute and with a test coming up, dj really same and saved the day! They managed to find me an excellent instructor quickly who gave me a few lessons before taking me to my test and passing first time. Thank you for all your help and support!
Thank you to Mahmood for all his help, guidance and patience in helping me pass my driving test today in Morden. Would highly recommend him as a driving instructor
DriveJohnson's have been fantastic from start to finish. Their bookings process is simple and easy, the staff on the phones are really friendly and happy to answer any questions you have. I was allocated a brilliant instructor who explained things thoroughly and made lessons enjoyable. If you want to learn to drive, don't look anywhere else.
I was taught by Ifet in Milton Keynes and she was a fantastic instructor! I was super nervous and used to make silly mistakes when I first started but she helped me to grow in confidence and pass my test forty try with only one minor! If you need to learn to drive, go with Ifet in mk!
Tip for consumers:
If you're near your test go for single lessons as it saves paying for a block of 10

I had 25 hours of driving lessons taken in two blocks of 10 and five single hours.
I just passed my test this morning in Leeds with an instructor called Ali. My lessons were engaging and better still we had a good laugh. I highly recommend drivejohnson to anyone looking for driving lessons.

Thank you so much to drivejohnsons and my instructor Mark. From making my first booking with the office to passing my test it was easy, fun and informative. Soooo happy i can now drive and Mark was literally the best instructor i could have asked for. Would recommend anyone wanting to learn to use these guys.
My experience with this company was amazing. From the help from the booking team to being allocated a great instructor Paul, I said to my instructor I needed to be passed in 3 months due to work commitments and I feel like he really helped me and gave me extra hours when I needed it! Honestly not a bad word to say about this company & thank you for all your help! Highly recommend
I started learning to drive with driveJohnson's driving school at the start of the year and could not be happier with the service I received. As a key worker, I was able to continue with my driving lessons and still take my test as planned. They did everything they could to make the process as stress free as possible. My instructor was extremely thorough in cleaning the car before and after lessons and I felt very safe. Getting to work has been a nightmare recently so finally having a licence will make things a lot easier for me. Thank you driveJohnson's!
I Highly recommended Abbas from north west London area. He it's driving Hyundai i30 I was very scared of the size of the car at the beginning as I was driving Kia picianto before and my other instructor left the country with last minute notice so I had to change it. But I'm extremely happy with Abbas he makes me very comfortable and confident driving his car. He it's really good instructor very professional and have a lot of knowledge
Thank you Abbas

Managed to pass last month, Was given a great instructor who picked up what I wasn't the best on and worked on that! Very helpful and helped me secure an earlier test despite saying it could of been in April which would of been cancelled now.
I would like to say thank very much to my driving instructor - Jatin Gandhi. I am so happy as I passed my first driving test! Jatin taught me everything that I needed to know to pass this test - from the small details to everything else. I felt ready for this test because of him.If you listen to everything he says - you will pass the test!
I never write reviews but I fell that my instructor definitely needs this review. Im a first time learner so I was sooo nervous but honestly my instructor calmed me down and helped me with everything. All the questions I had he answered in such a professional manor (I had like sooo many questions) but he didnt even care. I am 29 so I needed to sort my self out before it was too late. Im so thankful to my instructor with out this company I would still be getting smelly buses. Thank you Drive Johnson's I wouldnt of dont it with out you.
I work for an IT company and I can see a few fake negative reviews on here. Anyway, my experience was good. DriveJohnson's were accommodating when it came to my specific availability - lunch times only. Instructor was very good, new his stuff - big shout to Pete for helping me pass first time in Bedford.
Passed in 18 hours of lessons - Boom!
I've always had a good service provided by the team here. Whenever I speak to the office they are helpful and I've had 3 instructors (due to moving areas) which have always been amazing
After having 2 different driving schools I started my driving lesson with drivejohnsons 3rd time lucky im so glad i started with this company because i passed in 4 months with 2 minors. My instructor was so professional and all of my lessons were explained in great detail.
Every company gets the odd negative review. I was surprised to see what I've seen here. Go to a legit review site such as Trustpilot or google to get a fairer assessment.
My experience with driveJohnson's was very good. Passed first time within 20 hours.
Really glad I chose drivejohnson. Tried a couple of schools and they were useless, but not drivejohnson.
I thought the driving lessons provided by drivejohnsons were really good. I Learnt and passed my driving test in kettering.
I wasn't sure about booking with drive johnson cos there's mixed reviews and I wasn't sure who I'd get, I had my 1st lesson yesterday with pat and I'm soooo glad I chose these guys now! Would recommend (I'm in mk)
I took a 20 hour intensive course and passed first time thanks to my instructor Paul Stack in Luton.
I learn't with AA, RED and driveJohnson's was by far better. Although Paul wasn't critical of my previous experience with the other companies - I know what he was thinking. I learn't F All with them.
Massive thanks again to Paul and the staff at Dj for getting me an earlier test.
Been learning with John for just 3 months and already in for my test, his teaching is amazing and always makes you feel at ease in lessons and is very helpful!
I decided to learn with driveJohnson's as 3 of my friends passed first time with them.
I had a bad experience before so I wanted the next move to be the right one.
I certainly made the right move, I took a 20 hour course and passed first time!
Instructor was so good he even predicted the test route I would get correct.
Tip for consumers:
They know the test routes and won't waste your time!
