David is a great instructor! His approach to teaching helps to build your confidence and skills and you can see noticeable improvement each lesson. David gives good encouragement and makes lessons enjoyable at the same time. I would highly recommend!

Absolute sound guy, really enjoyed taking lessons with David, I passed my test first time with only 2 minors. Couldn't of done it with anyone else, thanks so much!!

brilliant instructor, kind caring and helpful and easy to get on with, failed mock test the day before my test and gave me confidence and helped me improve to pass first time the next day!

Fantastic driving instructor good temperament and calm. Covers everything you need to know and felt super ready on test day! I signed up to pass 1st time and did exactly that! So in my eyes Dave is a legend! Thanks again!

Such a good instructor, managed to pass 1st time with 4 minors, the lessons were a great atmosphere where you could have a laugh and also learn. Will recommend for any friends looking to learn thanks for making a great safe driver!

I don't even know where to start!! Dave is absolutely a great instructor, he has a lot of patience and he's so calm. I passed first time with only 18 lessons with him and I've never driven before. Trust me just do what he tells you and no doubt you will pass your test nice and easy. Thanks again Dave !!

Couldn't ask for a better instructor, sound teaching methods, explains things really clearly, brilliant practical advice for the test and will be honest if he thinks you're test ready or not. Great communication, figures out your weaknesses so that you're always improving for your next lesson.

Really friendly and has a good outlook on the world, music and philosophy. Is interested in people's stories and the art of a nuanced conversation. Couldn't have had a better experience learning to drive. Thanks again for helping me to pass my test first time.

Dave is a brilliant instructor. He set high standards but made sure I was able to meet them. Of the 3 instructors I've been with, he has helped me improve the most by pointing out what exactly my weaknesses are and giving clear instructions on how to progress.

Out of the many instructors ive been with David was by far the best. Thoroughly going through everything and making sure I was safe on the road and also having an enjoyable time learning too. Would 100% reccomend to anyone!

Can’t thank David enough. Managed to pass my test first time with no minors at all! Great communication, comfortable atmosphere. Great at being honest and picking up weaknesses/things to work on for the next lesson to ensure you are always improving. Thanks again!

Great driving instructor, really helped make sure I was prepared and ready for everything for my driving test, which I passed first time because of him.

Great instructor, helped me fly through the syllabus and get a pass first time with only 1 minor in a limited time due to moving away. Gave me confidence and kept things fun.

Would not have been able to do it without David, he really is one brilliant instructor. We had no issues whatsoever, we got on really well and had some good laughs in our lessons. Really enjoyed learning with him and passing with 4 minors. Thanks so much!

I can not fault David, he’s a great instructor! He put me at ease during every lesson. I felt I was learning something new & perfecting what he previously showed me in each lesson. By far the best instructor I’ve had and with his help I passed my test today! Thank you David 🙏🏻

David is one of the best instructors I’ve had, his laid back demeanour makes you feel comfortable and makes the learning process much easier. Always had positive words and made me believe in my driving ability. Thanks again!

David was extremely helpful throughout the process, leading up to the test I felt confident in my abilities all thanks to his guidance. Would definitely recommend!

David is a great and sensible instructor. he helped me a lot. He is not greedy to get more lesson. definitely I would recommend to others.

Couldn’t have asked for a better instructor! I had the worst driving anxiety and David did his best every lesson to be reassuring, encouraging and calming and I honestly couldn’t have passed my test or gained more driving confidence without him. He’s really easy to talk to and is incredibly patient. I finally passed my test (the first time with David) after multiple fails with another instructor, thank you so much David 😁

Had David Taylor as my instructor. Excellent teacher and very fun guy to learn from. I had never driven before taking lessons with him and I passed the first time. Super happy and definitely recommend!!!

Amazing instructor!! David was easy to get on with and always made me feel comfortable, even if I made mistakes. He believed in me, even when I didn't believe in myself and I never would have passed without his dedication and hard work. Cannot recommend enough!!

David was a great instructor who managed to keep the lessons informative but also relaxed allowing a pleasant teaching and learning environment.

Great instructor. So patient and calm and reassuring on approach to test. I passed first time and would highly recommend.

Really enjoyed having lessons with David, he was such a patient and relaxed instructor and I never at any point felt under pressure from him. He got me all the way though my test and I passed first time with just 5 minors. I was so relieved. I will definitely be recommending David Taylor to my family and friends.

Very helpful instructor, helped me pass first time

David is one of the best driving instructors I have had such a calm and patient person and let's you work at your own pace and he helped me pass my test first time today.

Brilliant tutor. Would highly recommend to anybody. Calm, friendly and efficient. Can’t praise enough.

Came back to driving after 16 years 1st time driving with Drive Johnson's with David Taylor as my instructor, and passed first time with DJ

Very flexible, and good feedback during lessons. When comfortable we had multiple mock tests on a weekly basis which really helped with confidence going into the test. Was able to practice every stage on how it would be in the real thing including test routes for the area. Which definitely helped on the day!

David Taylor is a great instructor keeping it pure and real making a safe fun and exciting environment whilst learning to drive he’s helped me pass my test first time today he is an amazing instructor and I highly recommend his skills and teaching ability, I will defiantly be recommending him myself.

David is honestly the best, not a bad word about him. From the start to end, David had been nothing other than supporting and reassuring giving me all the confidence needed for me to pass my test. His enthusiasm for his job really motivates you and give you the ambition to do well. Thank you very much David!

Had really great lessons with David Taylor. He has a really good teaching technique and explains his instructions really clearly and detailed. I really enjoyed learning with him! I passed first time with 4 minors! Im so excited to get out on the road now! Thanks so much! I will deffo recommend David!

After having a really hard time learning with a previous instructor, I am so relieved I found David. I had lost all of my confidence and was really ready to give up. David brought back my confidence and actually made me realise that I did really enjoy learning to drive! He got me through my test and I passed with only 5 minors. Thanks so much David!!

9/10 would recommend and the last one would also but when asked, they didn't realize that they could. David has been paciente understanding and overall an excellent instructor. He made lessons feel safe and unpressured. Helped identify areas that needed work and generally was great.

David was Fantastic instructor, and all round great guy, couldn’t have asked for any better!

David was extremely friendly and made me feel comfortable behind the wheel in no time. He showed unbelievable patience in making sure I was test ready, making sure my driving was safe and polished to make sure I pass. Couldn't recommend him enough, thank you David!

Test tip of the month for Gorleston-on-Sea

With so many potholes on the roads today, make sure you check your mirrors before you go around them. Try to identify the potholes more than 100 metres away, check your interior and door mirror in good time, then recheck them just before you change direction.

Useful driving test tip for Gorleston-on-Sea

When waiting at a roundabout, your danger obviously comes from the right, but keep your head agile and keep glancing ahead too. Look out for that car, van or lorry going ahead that is going to block your right and allow you to go.
