Frequently asked questions...
Yes, we cover many areas around Bradford and our driving instructors will do their best to accommodate your required pick-up and drop-off locations. We offer driving lessons in Pudsey, Shipley, Horsforth and many other areas.
We are happy to offer both manual and automatic driving lessons in Bradford and the surrounding areas. All of our automatic driving instructors are rated Grade-A by the DVSA, and they all come with excellent ratings from their previous learners. We also offer automatic driving lessons with female automatic driving instructors in Bradford should you prefer to learm to drive with a female driving instructor.
Automatic driving lessons are a perfect option for those struggling with manual driving lessons or who want to pass fast. If you want to begin automatic driving lessons, call us today to get booked in.
Your driving instructor will begin your driving lessons in Bradford by checking your provisional driving licence and eyesight to ensure you are ok to drive. They will then drive you to a quiet road in Bradford, such as Low Ash Drive, Priestley Crescent or Carrick Drive. Here, away from the distraction of traffic, you will start practising behind the wheel, getting to grips with the basic controls of the car. Once you feel happy to, you will drive out on some quieter roads, such as those around Lister Park, to practice turning left and turning right from major to minor roads.
As soon as your instructor feels you are confident enough, they will have you out on the A and B roads around Bradford, like the A1677 and B6144, to practice meeting traffic and junctions. The busier A roads, such as the A641 and A6181, will provide ample opportunity to practice roundabouts and dual carriageways when you are ready.
When you are taking your driving lessons in Bradford, you have several test centres to choose from. If you live in the city, you can choose between two different test centres. These are Bradford Heaton and Bradford Thornbury. If you decide not to take your driving test in Bradford, you can also take your driving test in Halifax, Heckmondwike, Horsforth and Huddersfield.
Please know that it is completely fine to feel nervous about learning to drive. We see hundreds of learner drivers every year who are very nervous about getting behind the wheel. Our driving instructors in Bradford are all highly trained at putting their pupils at ease so that their pupils can learn and really enjoy their lessons with them. We also have driving instructors who specialise in teaching nervous and apprehensive pupils. If you would like to be assigned to one of these, just let our Bookings Team know when you book in.
If you are finding that your anxiety is getting in the way of learning to drive, please check out our helpful guide to learning to drive with anxiety for further tips and advice.
Firstly, we are sorry to hear you have had such a bad experience with another driving school in Bradford. Sadly, this is similar to many stories we hear but you can trust driveJohnson's to be different and this is why:
- We will get you in for an assessment lesson straight away so that your driving instructor can assess where you are at and let you know how many driving lessons you will need to be test-ready. This means that you will know how many driving lessons you need to budget for in advance.
- Your driving instructor will tailor an intensive course to your specific needs and requirements so that none of your hard-earned money is wasted on going over skills you have already mastered.
- If you don't like your driving instructor in your first lesson, we will refund you the money.
- If you don't use all of your driving lessons on your intensive course, we will pay you back for the lessons you haven't used.
- We provide a no-quibble refund on any unused driving lessons, unlike many other driving schools in Bradford.
Any driving instructor in Bradford 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!
There's a reason why driveJohnson's driving school in Bradford has such a great reputation: every instructor is DBS checked and qualified to the highest level, ensuring our learners are offered structured and enjoyable lessons.
Each lesson will be customised to your driving standard, starting in quieter areas such as the leafy green Lister Park. Low Moor is also a fantastic place to get started in - offering roads such as Belmont Avenue, although it's a narrow road there is little traffic and it will give you the chance to practise clutch control and T-Junctions at the turn onto Wesley Avenue. Eventually moving on to tackle busier roads like the A6177 and the A658, you will cover absolutely everything there is to know when you take your lessons with driveJohnson's.
You have 3 choices for test centres in Bradford to choose from, some offering sooner tests than others. with the first time pass rate for all three Bradford test centres averaging around 36-42%, compare that to our first time pass rate of 93.2%, it's a no brainer to use driveJohnson's.
