I had a great experience learning to drive with Ari. He is a very patient and flexible instructor, and his advice about the test and the routes was incredibly useful to me. I passed my test at the first attempt after a 20 hour intensive course with Ari, can definitely recommend this.

I came to Susanna as I failed my test with two other instructors, I was going to give up but she kept me going and 10 hours later I passed with just 3 minors thanks to her. Great instructor and really lifted my confidence when I thought I couldn't do it anymore.

Hojjat is an excellent driving instructor with great communication skills. He explained complex concepts simply and understandably. I owe my success in passing my driving test to his guidance.

Learning to drive with Ari was a pleasure. His calm and supportive approach helped me overcome my nerves. He was always attentive and focused on my progress throughout the lessons.

Brilliant teacher, and if anyone wants to become an instructor, you need to learn with Ari as he is a great communicator and excellent at developing skills.

Ari is simply the best instructor. My son came to Ari for rescue after failed his 1st test. He learnt more in one lesson with Ari than several of the lessons with his previous teacher and passed with a single minor fault. Thank you Ari!!

Hojjat is a fantastic driving instructor who genuinely cares about his students' success. He provided a structured learning plan and encouraged me to do my best. I passed my test with flying colours!

By far the best instructor that I have had, I have failed my test with another driving school but my lessons completely changed when I learned with Domenico and I will never look back.

I just want to say a huge thank you to my instructor Ari for helping me pass my ADI part 2 driving test with only one minor at the first attempt. His guidance, support and training have been so professional.I am very glad that I came across to you. Would highly recommend him.

Susanna was a great instructor and taught me from the beginning to help me pass first time with only 14 hours of lessons and one minor.

Couldn't ask for a better teacher, every lesson developed on the last and we focused on areas that I found difficult, great structure and great instructor.

Couldn't recommend Susanna more. I was very nervous and she helped me build up my confidence so I passed first time!

Samira does much more than teaching to drive, she makes you a driver.
I don't remember feeling nervous next to her. She's very calm and clear on her instructions. A great boost of confidence.
Thanks for all.

Getting to learn to drive with Samira was amazing. She was super friendly, helpful, insightful and great at going over the test routes with me.

Learning to drive with Hojjat was a positive and rewarding experience. His teaching methods were effective, and he patiently explained difficult manoeuvres. I'm thankful for his guidance throughout my lessons.

I highly recommend learning with Samira for the best driving experience!

Best Driving Instructor I have had, explained all the elements needed not just to pass the test but be a successful driver.

Learning to drive with Hojjat was a pleasure. He was punctual, professional, and had a calm demeanour. His attention to detail and focus on safety were remarkable.

It was a difficult journey for me to get the driving license in the UK. However, My instructor Samira makes it easier for me. I get my license in one attempt with 15 lessons and all credit goes to that lady who is not only a instructor but also a lady with lamp for me.
Wish you all the best Samira and an advice to new comer, please contact with her. She can help you to be a good and safe driver in this country.

Samira is an incredible instructor and I would recommend her and DriveJohnson to anyone who needs an London instructor.

Test tip of the month for Barnet

When you come out of the Barnet test centre, be aware of many parked cars on the road that may be blocking your view of the T-Junctions.

As you emerge out of the first few T-Junctions, be sure to forward lean if cars are blocking your view and control the car slowly with the clutch and brake. Keep your heading looking both ways regularly, as if you are watching a tennis match.

Useful driving test tip for Barnet Show more

Useful driving test tip for Barnet

A nice little tip that should serve you well is that whenever the examiner gives you a direction, you will inevitably have to check your mirrors. If they say, “Next road on the left”, check the interior and left door mirrors. If they say, “At the roundabout, follow the road ahead”, check your interior mirror as you will need to slow down and know what’s behind you.

Frequently asked questions...

I'm a complete beginner. I'm really nervous for my first driving lesson. Any advice?

Our best advice would be to just try and relax. It's completely normal to feel nervous before your first driving lesson. Our instructors will be expecting this and will do their best to put you at ease and make you feel comfortable during your lesson.

You can rest assured that you're in capable hands with our driveJohnson's instructors. They have years of experience and have taught people of many different abilities to learn to drive. During your first lessons you will be taken on some of the quieter roads in Barnet to get you used to driving and familiar with the car.

Can I start my driving tuition in Enfield and finish at my home in Barnet?

We want to make learning to drive as easy as possible for you, that's why we do our best to accommodate to your needs and fit into your busy schedules. Our driving instructors are more than happy to pick you up and drop you off at a location of your choice thats local to the area. For example, if you would like to start your driving lesson in Enfield where you work and finish in Barnet where you live, it's no problem.

Which test centre has the best pass rate near Barnet?

The driving test pass rate does tend to be lower for most areas inside of London, be it due to the more complicated junctions, busier traffic or just more crazy drivers.

Living in London, there are several test centres that you can take your test at not too far away. Your driving instructor will plan to familiarise you with the test routes at your chosen test centre beforehand, so you may well find you have driving lessons in Borehamwood, Barnet or Enfield if you have booked your test at a test centre there.

Where will I go on my driving lessons?

When taking driving lessons in Barnet, you will begin by starting in quiet areas like North Finchley Leisure Park, which offer a nice open space for you to practice the basics. As you progress and your confidence grows, you will find yourself on roads near where you begin your lessons with busier roads being taken.

As you continue to progress and develop, you will find yourself leaving Barnet and driving around London and other areas. Some interesting locations to look out for include Hampstead Heath, Royal Air Force Museum London and potentially Wembley Stadium.

I'm pregnant. Can I still have driving lessons?

Yes, you can. We have many pregnant women take their driving lessons with us every year who go on to successfully pass their driving tests. No one wants to get on the bus with a pushchair and 10 bags of shopping! Find out more about taking driving lessons when pregnant and taking the driving test.
