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.

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.

I'd had lessons before with 2 different instructors and wasn't happy with my lessons, I decided to change driving school to drive johnsons and they put me with Tony as my instructor. So happy and grateful that I got to learn with Tony, don't think I could've done it with any other instructor. Cheers Tony!

Tony is fantastic I was struggling to learn to drive a manual but then I switched to automatic with Tony and it made everything so much simpler. His way of teaching is amazing and I can't rate him high enough

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!! :)

I had failed my test six times with two different driving schools but then I was recommended to learn with Tony in his automatic with driveJohnson's and it was incredible. He knew what I needed to learn and was able to help me change my life around and now I am able to go and buy my own car.

I always wanted to pass my driving test and thanks to Tonys incredible teaching I was able to pass in Tonys automatic after 30 hours of amazing lessons.

After making over 20 calls and being told everywhere was fully booked I managed to get a lesson booked with Drivejohnsons and since then I have had lessons weekly with my instructor Tony Mills. He is a very good instructor, I would recommend him to anyone.

I really enjoyed learning to drive with Tony, would definitely recommend :)

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.

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

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!

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

Tony Mills is superb at being not only an instructor but also as a person, he cares and he helps and he is the best teacher I have ever had. I am so proud to have had him as my teacher when I learnt to drive and I am so happy to have passed with him.

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

My faith in driving was given back to me by learning with Tony, I never thought I would be able to drive and then it was broken down to me by Tony and I am so thankful for that as it was what I needed in order to pass.

Tony Mills is a very calm, patient and excellent instructor. He broke everything down into easy to understand pieces and I was able to pass at my first attempt. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an instructor in the ASHFORD or Folkestone area.

Tony is extremely knowledgable, skilled and patient. Couldn't have asked for a better driving instructor and I had a lot of fun learning to drive. Tony helped me pass my test first time around which I never thought I'd be able to do, thank you Tony!

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

Brilliant teaching and always made me feel at ease when we were out on the road. It helped that Tony talked to me about football and other topics I was interested in as it put me at ease and helped me to learn at my own pace.

Learning with Tony was quick, simple and easy and when I passed after 20 hours it felt amazing.

It was great to learn with Tony and I am so happy that he helped me to pass on my first attempt! Thank you Tony

Tony Mills is a fantastic instructor and he is someone who I would recommend to everyone in the Canterberry area. If you want to learn to drive an automatic car in Canterberry then choose Tony and you won't regret it

I had a great time learning to drive with Tony and was very pleased to pass my test at the first attempt.

He is very reliable, knowledgeable and patient, as well as possessing a grand sense of humour. With his emphasis on practising good 'roadsense', he teaches important driving skills over and above what is required to pass one's test.

I have no hesitation in recommending him as a great person to learn to drive with.

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.

Tony Mills is an inspiration as a person and I am so glad to have not only met him but also have been taught by him. I am so thankful to have had him teach me and to have passed with him is a great feeling

My instructor Tony has been fantastic he is always on time and makes our lessons enjoying and most importantly very informative.

Instructor tip of the month Show more

Test tip of the month for Dover

It’s common when turning left at a blind T-junction to look right and only look left when the car goes into a new road. You will often get away with this, but now and again, something will be there, like a parked car or a pedestrian about to walk out. On your test, you’ll fail, and in real life, you’ll have a severe accident. Be sure to do the minimum observations for T-junctions: right, left, right and then look into the road before you emerge into it!

Useful driving test tip for Dover Show more

Useful driving test tip for Dover

Many learners fail their manoeuvre because they rush it. They get concerned about keeping other road users waiting. It's good to be considerate about other road users, but on your test, you have got to go nice and slow, so you have time to do all the observations needed. The faster you do the manoeuvre, the faster your observations should be. You know what to do - keep your speed slow, so you have time to observe!
