Jeevan

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

My mum bought me some lessons for my birthday as my cousin passed with this company and I’m so glad I did as they helped me with my theory test and my practical exam. Thank you Lee!

Lily Morton

Lee is an amazing instructor. He helped and reassured me in times where I doubted myself, his way of teaching was fantastic which enabled me to become confident and ensured that I was test ready in which I passed first time! I definitely recommend.

Jake Rowan

Passed first time thanks to Hamid and his amazing teaching. He's very calm, patient and understanding if you make a mistake. He always explained things really well and helped me learn fast. All round great experience with drive johnsons and Hamid - thank you :-)

Darcy Alcock

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

Lee is a great driving instructor and helped me pass my test first time. He is very good and correcting where you went wrong and telling you how to improve. Without his help I wouldn’t have been able to pass!

Max

Lee was the third driving instructor I had and I’m extremely glad I didn’t settle for less. He made learning to drive very easy and stress free, always managed to find time that suited me and was always full of constructive criticism. I passed my test first time thanks to Lee’s teaching!

Craig Hodder

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

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.
