Ray is a top driving instructor, knows a lot and has an effective teaching style. Would highly recommend Ray to anyone that want to pass quickly and first time.

It was tremendous to learn to drive with Christian. He is incredibly friendly and made me feel right at ease.

Chris is a great instructor, and I loved learning in his Yaris so much I have bought one myself.

Being able to drive feels amazing and it was all because of Clair and her amazing teaching style.

Chris is a great instructor with such a friendly nature. If you need driving lessons, ask to learn with Chris.

Chris is a tremendous instructor, and it was great to be taught by a local. Thank you so much for your help.

Make sure you learn with Chris, as he is a phenomenal instructor. I was able to pass on my first attempt, with only 2 faults.

I loved my lessons with Chris Matthews, and it was fantastic to now be able to drive. It is because of him I passed on my first attempt with only five minors.

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

Just want to say not only did i get a good Instructor with Drivejohnsons but the staff in the office were so helpful and very nice to talk to. They helped me step by step through making my choices.

Test Tip Of The Month For Leighton Buzzard

At Leighton Buzzard, when starting your test, as you leave the carpark, the exit is slightly up hill. If you turn left, remember it’s a national speed limit, as when you look to the right you will see a 30 sign. If you are turning right out of car park at the gate, keep to right side as this is exit only.

Useful Driving Test Tip For Leighton Buzzard

Many learners think they should offset their mirrors, so they have to move their head more during the test. You should be able to check your mirrors by moving your eyes - not your head. The examiners are trained to look out for eye checks rather than head movements. Moving your head may cause the examiner to think your mirrors are not set up correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions

When you start your driving lessons in Leighton Buzzard with us, your quality driveJohnson's instructor will build you up at a pace that suits you. Beginners will benefit from starting their initial moving off/stopping lessons in areas, such as Atterbury Avenue/Miles Avenue surrounding the Vandyke playing fields, Western Avenue near Pages Park or Cheslea Green in Linslade, to mention a few.

As you progress it's quite normal to be driving down Vandyke road, which has many minor roads coming off it, where your instructor may challenge you with some trickier T-Junctions and meeting/anticipation situations.

Once you have signed off the basics, we won’t waste anytime. Our driving instructors in Leighton Buzzard will have you driving around the town centre grasping test route areas whilst we develop your driving skills and get you ready for your driving test.
