I'm so pleased with drive johnsons driving school I passed my driving test first time my instructor Gareth was brilliant i couldn't have done it with out him

It's great to now be a fully qualified driver and if it wasn't for Gareths expert teaching and knowledge of the test routes I wouldn't now be able to plan out my summer road trip with my friends.

My second time trying to pass I came to this company and they helpped me pass the practical test.

Gareth Aitken is an incredible teacher and if it wasn't for his incredible teaching and detailed lessons I would still be struggling with my lessons.

Instructor helped me pass with 4 minors. Thank you for everything Jonathan!

My name is Zane and I thank this company for helping me pass my practical test.

Amazing instructor, easy to get along with. Passed first time with 1 minor! Feel competent in my driving skills and can't wait to get on the roads.

Brilliant instructor, helped me pass 1st time. Would recommend Gareth to anyone looking for driving lessons. Thanks mate!

I am an older driver, and thanks to Jonathan's help, I was able to develop my skills quickly and efficiently, and now I am able to drive my grandchildren to school.

Thank you so much for helping me with my lessons the instructor couldn’t help me enough.Thanks to Jonathan I passed my practical with 5 Minors.

Test Tip Of The Month For Aberdeen

When sitting your test at Aberdeen North, you may be asked to follow signs for Perth/Inverness. If so, when approaching the Buckie Farm roundabout, keep to the middle lane as the roundabout is poorly marked on approach.

Useful Driving Test Tip For Aberdeen

When you go for your test, try to aim for perfection. If your standards are that high, you may make some faults, but you will still pass. If you aim to scrape through the test or say to yourself, "I don't care if I fail", you probably won't pass. Consider having more lessons until you feel comfortable with your ability and when your instructor is praising you.

Frequently asked questions...

We try to make our driving lessons as accessible to everyone as possible. We believe that everyone deserves to be able to learn to drive with the best. Our driving instructors are flexible with their pick-up and drop-off locations around the local areas of Aberdeen. We can offer driving lessons in Portlethen, Ferryhill, Hillside, Hilton, Cove Bay and many more of the surrounding areas.

If you are taking driving lessons in Aberdeen, there are two test centres in the city itself: one on Cloverfield Road and one on Moss Road. When it comes to picking one, we would always recommend discussing it with your driving instructor first. All of our driving instructors in Aberdeen know the popular test routes for both test centres back to front, and they will know which one will play best to your strengths.

The amount of driving lessons that you take a week is entirely a personal preference. Our advice would be to book at least one 2-hour lesson per week to make sure that there is enough time to cover all you need to learn and to ensure that you don't forget what you have learnt between lessons.

Any driving instructor who joins us must pass an interview and an in-car assessment. We also request three lots of identification, including their instructor badge, driving licence and utility bill.

All of our instructors in the city work closely with us, sharing pass pictures on Facebook and getting regular online reviews. We promise we will never sub you out to a company or an independent instructor.

If we are fully booked, we will tell you there and then. We will never accept your money and not allocate you an instructor.

These companies you are talking about often come and go, but driveJohnson’s has been established since 2005! We’ve got your back!

Sorry to hear you failed that many times. We can promise you that all of our driving instructors in Aberdeen are fully qualified and have years of experience.

Although everyone needs to start somewhere, you must know the facts about your instructor, such as their experience, test pass rate and whether they are fully qualified.

If you are unsure or apprehensive, call us and we can go through the available instructors and their credentials and tell you a little bit about them so you can gauge if they are the right fit for you.

Having taught hundreds of students from both the University of Aberdeen and Robert Gordon University to learn to drive, we understand that every penny counts.

They will never long their lessons out and give top-quality instruction so that you pick up driving skills and build confidence fast.
