I was able to get an early test after passing my theory and thanks to Tony I got ready in less than 10 hours of lessons and was able to pass my early test with just three minors.

Mr Mills is an amazing instructor, he was able to keep me calm and distilled confidence in me. I wouldn't have passed if it wasn't for him. Thank you so much for all your help Tony.

Thank you so much for all of your help Tony, you were great at helping me to ace my driving and getting my head around all of the manoueveres.

Loved every minute of my lessons, would recommend Drivejohnsons to anyone (:

I passed first time!! :D Can’t wait to get on the road now in my own car.

Tony was a phenomenal instructor and thanks to his great teaching I was able to pass first time and after only 25 hours of lessons.

Want to thank Neil for all of his help and support while learning to drive, I passed and feel like a confident and great driver. I highly recommend Neil!

Tony is a great teacher and I learnt extremely quickly with him and managed to pass after just 20 hours. Couldn't be more pleased. Thank you so much Tony!! :)

Stephen was a fantastic instructor, lessons were enjoyable and very informative. Thanks Stephen!!

Tony is a great instructor, helped me pass quickly and first time with just 2 minors. Would definitely recommend, thanks Tony.

Test Tip Of The Month For Ashford

You have a 1 in 4 chance of being asked to do the emergency stop. If you are asked to do this, the examiner will explain this to you when the car is stationary. You will most likely notice your examiner looking over their shoulder when the car is moving. This is to double-check it’s safe, so be ready. When they look over their shoulder, they are about to ask you to stop!

Useful Driving Test Tip For Ashford

When you are on the independent driving part of the test, it's common to miss your mirrors and signalling when listening to and following the satnav. Remember, every time you hear a new direction, be prepared to check your mirrors and put a signal on if needed.

Frequently asked questions...

Yes, we do! If you want to pass your driving test as quickly as possible, then one of our tailor-made intensive driving courses in Ashford is probably for you. Book in for a 2-hour assessment lesson where your instructor can let you know how many hours to book in for and come up with a plan for your intensive course. Have your driving lessons in Ashford on a weekly or an intensive basis - you can swap them about too. Depending on your experience and how fast you pick it up, you could pass in 1-4 weeks!

We want to try and make learning to drive as convenient as possible for you, so our driving instructors are fully-flexible with pick-up and drop-off locations. This may be one of the reasons why we are the most popular driving school in Ashford for students. We have been providing this service for many years to our student learners attending EKC Ashford College and the local Sixth Forms, including Towers Sixth Form, Highworth Grammar School Sixth Form and Goldwyn Sixth Form, and it has always been incredibly helpful to them.

If you would like to be picked up and dropped off somewhere else in the local area, just let your instructor know before your lesson and they'll happily accommodate this.

We do regularly help learners find driving tests, but you must be learning to drive with one of our driving instructors in Ashford. Unfortunately, it’s not a service which we offer to everyone.

In your first driving lesson, your driving instructor will take you to a quiet residential area, such as Bucksford Lane, to practise. Once you're confident with the basics, including moving off and stopping, clutch control and changing gears, then you will move to busier areas and main roads, such as Brookfield Road. You will practise turning left from a major to minor road and turning right, roundabouts and T-Junctions. Your driving instructor will ensure that you progress at a pace that works for you and that you feel happy with.
