Best instructor ever! very patient and understanding when mistakes are made. Knows exactly what to do to build your confidence on the road. Such an amazing instructor! Thankyou magda!

Magda is amazing, I have never felt more at easy or as confident in myself and my abilities until I got to know her way of teaching. Best instructor I have ever had. (I've had a few over the years) very patient and passionate about developing safe and competent drivers. We need a thousand Magda's instructing on the roads but I am so glad I got the one and only. Could not recommend enough 11/10. Thank you for taking me on and getting that pass.

Magda is a brilliant driving instructor. I always felt very calm and alert under her instruction. The lessons were always well planned and at a time that suited me best and i enjoyed every minute of them. I would highly reccomend her to anyone!

Magda has been an exceptional driving instructer and has helped me to become a confident and safe driver. She's an experience and knowledgeable instructor who I'd definitely recommend to others!

I want to thank Magda one more time, and I’d say I’m really lucky I had such good instructor as she is. Magda is really patient and caring about her students. I was so nervous while driving, but she could find the way to calm me down all the time. Definitely I’ll recommend Magda to everyone who’s looking for driving instructor, because she’s the best one?

Great instructor, takes time with students and has good results

Magda is a kind, helpful and patient instructor. I failed previous tests with another driving company and she really helped me become more confident in my driving with her guidance. I passed on my first attempt using Drive Johnsons. I highly recommend using Drive Johnsons! Thank you Magda and thank you Drive johnson's for putting Magda as my instructor.

Magda was an absolutely fantastic instructor. She was patient, relaxed and great company in the car. I passed my test first time thanks to her excellent coaching. Magda had a lot of faith in my driving when I was unsure and her great sense of humour always helped me relax when I was nervous. Thanks Magda!

Magda is a great driving instructor- calm and patient. She worked flexibly around my busy schedule as a teacher. Very memorable and will continue to recommend her to friends.

I had an amazing experience getting back to driving with Magda’s support. She was always patient with me and teaching me everything about the roads in the UK and roundabouts. I feel so much more confident to get out of the road by myself now. And I will be forever grateful for that.

Proficient and fantastic driving instructor. Very calm and pleasant. Would highly recommend.

Rob Thomas is terrific he is a fantastic instructor and one of the nicest people I have ever met, if you are learning to drive in Rushden then make sure you learn with Rob

Magda is amazing, she helped me throughout my journey, she is patient, very knowledgeable about driving rules and I will recommend Magda. She is class.

Magda is an amazing instructor. Before starting lessons with her i didn’t know anything about driving; three months later i had my full license! She’s friendly, reliable, experienced, knowledgable and always gives helpful feedback for improvement; all of which helped build my confidence on the road. Her lessons are well planned and fit my busy university schedule. I would most definitely recommend her!

She’s one of the best instructor you can ever get.

Magda is an amazing instructor, the best I have had. Prior to using her I had two other instructors with whom i had no luck with. But with Magda she was kind and encouraging from the very first lesson till my last. I passed with her and also passed my pass plus with her. I have recommended her to two friends. One has passed the other one is still using her currently and also recommend her to several other people

Test tip of the month for Wellingborough

You can fail your test for driving too slow or too fast. Don't make sudden changes if you sense the examiner is looking over at your speedo. Just gently come off the gas or gently apply more depending on if you are going too slow or fast.

Useful driving test tip for Wellingborough Show more

Useful driving test tip for Wellingborough

When overtaking cyclists on faster roads, consider leaving more space than the minimum (1 metre). Apply the MSPSL routine nice and early, signal in good time and anticipate any unusual sudden movements by the cyclist. If they are looking over their shoulder, they might be thinking about changing direction.

Frequently asked questions...

Where do beginners start their driving lessons in Wellingborough?

Learners coming to us at the complete beginner stage will often start their driving lessons off in residential or industrial areas, away from busy main roads where there's lots of traffic. One of these areas is the Finedon Road Industrial Estate where there are quite a few long, straight and wide roads to pick up the basics of getting the car going and stopping again. With lots of side roads to turn into, there is plenty of opportunity to progress onto left and right turns as well as T-junctions.

Where do I do my lessons if I already have experience?

More experienced learner drivers with a few hours under their belts, may find themselves tackling some of the test routes in Wellingborough, including the 60mph A509, involving a number of medium to large roundabouts and junctions. You may also head into the centre of Wellingborough, where you could face a number of one-way streets and busier traffic.

There's absolutely nothing to worry about though. Our experienced driving instructors will cover all of this in depth with you to ensure you're comfortable and ready to conquer all types of road and junctions.

Does Wellingborough have a driving test centre?

Yes, Wellingborough does have a driving test centre, and you will likely take your driving test here. Our driving instructors in Wellingborough are test route experts so they can help you pass quickly and confidently.

Recently, learners have found it increasingly difficult to find a driving test at the Wellingborough test centre. However, you can usually find a driving test in Kettering. If you are still trying to get a test in Wellingborough, then Kettering is a great location to take your test as our instructors can take you for your test here, but they can also help you learn the routes and roads beforehand.

Can I have automatic driving lessons in Wellingborough?

Yes, you can. We offer both manual and automatic driving lessons in Wellingborough. You can choose to jump straight into automatic lessons or you can start with manual and switch at any point if you decide that manual isn't for you. We have some fantastic manual and automatic driving instructors in Wellingborough who will help you pass fast either way!
