I had over 50 hours with another school but in just 10 hours with drive johnson I passed with only 1 minor!!! Thank you Jack!

I passed first time!! :D Can’t wait to get on the road now

I was struggling with my manoeuvres and my instructor who gave me lessons helped me over come them and fulfilled my needs. Best instructor to be honest.

A massive thanks to Pete Hodd for getting me through my driving test. I was so nervous but he completely kept me at my cool. He made the lessons so enjoyable and I loved every minute of it. I was deffo not the easiest person to teach but he did great. Thanks again Pete!!

I passed first time today thanks to Pete Hodds, he made a compete difference to my learning compared to the previous instructor I had who was absolutely naff! He was so encouraging when it came to my test, and I passed with only one minor. He was deffo doing something right! I will definitely be recommending him to my friends.

Was unsure how to go about booking for lessons never driven before. So when i called DriveJohnsons i was very nervous. But the staff in the office was so helpful and guided me through all the information i needed and i got myself booked in. Don’t think i would have even gone ahead with lessons had it not been for the person i spoke to. Big Thankyou.

I never thought I would have passed my driving test but thanks to drive johnson pairing me with Jack I was able to pass first time and with ease.

I can't thank Pete enough, brilliant instructor. Lessons were fun and enjoyable. I passed in 4 weeks, with 1 minor fault :-)

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 passed first attempt.

Thank you Pete, it was a great experience and I will miss our lessons but I am so glad that I have passed my test and can go and buy my one car.

Great lessons that always developed on the previous one, if it wasn't for Petes skills I would still be struggling with my lessons.

I had my driving test yesterday morning and I passed with only 2 minors! I was over the moon, a massive thanks to Pete Hodds for getting me through it! It took me a lot of lessons to come to terms with everything, but Pete was so patient and not once did I feel under pressure. So happy to finally have my licence. I will be recommending Pete to my family and friends for sure!

Brilliant instructor who always turned up on time, with a smile and a detailed lesson.

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

Instructor helped me pass with 4 minors. Thank you

Amazing instructor and if it wasn't for Jacks expertise I wouldn't have passed first time and with no minors.

5/5 very easy to book and I got a lesson within a week, very happy with my instructor Jack and drivejohsnons

Loved every minute of my lessons with Jack, would recommend Drivejohnsons to anyone!

Greta instructor. Taught me really well, never wasted time like my previous driving instructor in Eastbourne. Would defo recommend to friends/family in the future.

Amazing instructor and Pete has a great way of breaking down the techniques and the valuable skills that'll need.

So relieved to have finally got my driving licence thanks to Pete Hodds! Such an easy going and funny man! Made the lessons so enjoyable and fun, even on the hard days! Passed first time with 4 minors! Thanks again!

I never thought I would pass my test but thankfully I learned with Pete Hodd and thanks to his skills and knowledge I not only passed first time but I also did so faultlessly with only 15 hours of lessons.

i had an amazing time learning with Jack and have recommended him to all of my friends!

I passed first time with Pete and thanks to getting to learn with Pete it only took me 10 hours worth of lessons. He was a great teacher and I will recommend him to anyone!

After having a bad experience with another teacher at another school it was nice to finally have someone who’s teaching style suited my personality. I am having my test soon and I am very confident thanks to my instructor!

Absolute legend!! Pete Hodds, an amazing instructor! I've had two previous instructors and they've got nothing on him! Passed my test with zero minors!! Cant thank him enough!!!

I had a quality time learning to drive with Jack and if you need to learn make sure you choose him and Drivejohnson.

Test tip of the month for Hailsham

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 Hailsham

When approaching a no entry sign, expect the examiner to say nothing unless there is more than one option on where to go. As you approach the no entry, the examiner will be ready to brake you if you aren’t slowing down and look as though you will miss the no entry. If you notice their foot or leg moving slightly, you possibly have 1-2 seconds to go in the correct direction before they use the dual controls.

Frequently Asked Questions

Wha happens on my first driving lesson in Hailsham?

Your driving instructor in Hailsham will ask you about your previous experience. If you have not had any previous lessons, that is fine as many people have not had any previous experience. During this chat, your driving instructor will also go over the basics of the car, and they will do an eyesight check and check your provisional licence.

Once this is done, your instructor will begin your driving lesson in a quiet area. They will cover moving off and stopping, clutch control, the different pedals and how to steer. You will always begin in a quiet area away from cars and other road users to learn at your own pace.
