Saleem is super professional and was good at keeping me relaxed as he was always calm and collected making my learning super easy and fast.

Eliott Hurst

Patient, knowledgeable and all around great teacher! Strikes a balance between letting you drive independently while correcting your mistakes and helping you learn. Passed first time and couldn't say a bad word.

Harry

Without Lee I wouldn't have passed first time. I feel safe and confident on the roads thanks to him. He has a relaxed style of teaching and he has a good sense of humour. His car was always clean, he was on time and polite. Great instructor! Thank you for all your help Lee!

Lauren

I was told about Saleem from a friend at school and I am delighted to have learnt with him as he helped me to go from no experience to passing my test in just 15 hours.

Lily-Anne Pemberton

Very good driving instructor, I passed first time with Saleem. Helpful that Saleem spoke my first language of Urdu. Thank you Saleem.

Aamir

Passed my driving test 1st time, 4 minors after 30 hours. Colin is an amazing driving instructor, highly recommend.

Hannah Marshall

I have had lessons on and off for a few years now, I then fell pregnant and definitely needed to drive before my baby came so I called drive Johnsons and they paired me with Lee who I passed my test with after 38 hours.

Megan Garrett

I cannot recommend Lee enough, he’s helped me to pass my test first time. His calm and practical teaching style really helped me get to grips with all aspects of driving very quickly. His knowledge and approach made learning to drive fun and engaging.

James

Lee was a great instructor. I passed my test first time. He always sent me SMS to remember me for lessons and turns up on time. He has enough experience to help a new driver to feel safe and stress-free in the road. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Thank you for everything Lee!

Aziz

Lee has been absolutely brilliant. His patience was exactly what I needed as an individual, and his ability to break things down analytically either before a new maneuver or after a mistake really helped me pass my test.

Test Tip Of The Month For Headingley

You won’t be marked down for constantly checking your mirrors, but your examiner may think you are being excessive. Whilst you can’t be marked down, checking them constantly may affect your concentration on the road ahead.

Useful Driving Test Tip For Headingley

Many learners just hear the direction and then put the signal on. If you put a signal on too early and you pass another road then this could be deemed as a serious or dangerous driving fault.

Frequently asked questions...

When you get closer to your test, your instructor and yourself can decide upon which test centre is best suited to you for your actual driving test. There are two test centres in the area, which have similar travel times.

Each year, the DVSA releases the pass rates for the test centres across the UK. Living in Headingley, you can choose between the Leeds or Horsforth test centre. As an example, the overall pass rate for the Leeds test centre last year was only 42.2% compared to the 48.2% pass rate at Horsforth.

If you live in Headingley but study in Leeds, then we can help you learn to drive. By taking your driving lessons in Headingley, we will have you learn the basics before moving into Leeds to expand your knowledge.

Due to studying at the University of Leeds, we can help plan your lessons around your studies. The benefit of this is that you don't miss out on learning to drive or coursework. We can also pick you up from one of the locations and drop you at the other.

When you drive around Headingley, there are several great roads to learn several skills. However, when it comes to bay parking, it is best to learn in a quiet area with a lot of space. This is because it helps to ease the pressure off of you, and it allows you to focus more on the manoeuvre.

One area that has excellent places to practice to park is Hunslet Road. This is because there are a number of shops and businesses that have large car parks. Whilst some of these car parks may be fuller than others due to the nature of the area, you can find car parks that are quieter and more fitting to your liking.
