Just passed today what an amazing instructor. Gave me so much confidence today and really got my ready for my test. With his plethora of experience and expertise you honestly couldn't get a better instructor!

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

I came to Drive Johnsons who really helped me with my lessons.I magically passed my theory and my practical driving test.

I lost my license 2 years ago as I had it revoked. I came to Drive Johnsons and did 6 hours with my instructor. I had to do an extended test and pass

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.

Jonathan was an amazing instructor and thanks to his help I was able to pass first time with no minors.

Great driving instructor, helped me to get used to driving on the left side of the road!

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.

My family had all passed with drive johnson and thanks to my instructor Jonathan I passed after just 30 hours of lessons.

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

I did 18 hours including my test and smashed my practical today. I got a quick test and passed with only one minor!

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.

In comparison to previous driving instructors I’ve had, Jonathan has been the greatest. I cannot fault him! I passed my test first time and would highly recommend. Thank you again!!

Incredible instructor and without his help I would still be needing to get lifts off my family and taking taxis, thanks for everything Jonathan.

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

My sister had previously passed with Jonathan and I am glad that I did as it allowed me to pass after just 15 hours of lessons.

Test tip of the month for Banchory

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.

Useful driving test tip for Banchory Show more

Useful driving test tip for Banchory

A classic question is, what happens if you go the wrong way on your test? The answer is not a lot. Just try to do it safely, and you will be fine. Many learners will swerve at short notice, realising they are in the wrong lane and fail for the changing lanes part. If the examiner can see you have time to get into the correct lane, they may repeat the instruction or use hand signals. They won't repeat or re-enforce the direction if it isn't safe or there isn't enough time. You will not receive a driving fault for safely going in the wrong direction on your test.
