Thank you, my dear!🫶 I will miss you🫶

Sadia is definitely by far the most loving and supportive instructor. She is very understanding and is very honest. I passed with her on my first time and I’m forever grateful I passed with her. Every question I had, she answered and she will always correct you if you’re wrong. She is THE BEST!!!

My son has been doing lessons for around 2 months with drive johnsons. He loves his lessons and always impresses me with the amount he has learnt in each of his 2 hour lessons. I feel that I chose the best place, and will certainly recommend them to others needing lessons.

Sadia is a great instructor, and she helped me to achieve my goal of learning to drive. I couldn't have done this without her.

My daughter just finished learning to drive with Thomas and passed her test first time. We couldn't have asked for a better driving instructor for her. He was reliable, trustworthy and made her feel comfortable from the first lesson. Will be recommending him to all of my friends!

Great instructor, found a way to communicate and made good progress along with a few laughs whilst at it.

Thank you Sadia

10/10 service from Thomas and the staff at drivejohnsons. Top driving instructor and would highly recommend. Cheers!

It was a fantastic experience learning with Sadia. She was so confident and that confidence rubbed off onto me, and with every lesson, I just felt more and more confident. Thank you for helping me to pass.

Just passed my driving test with Tommy, top guy and quality instructor. Cheers Thomas.

I passed my test today. I could not have done it without Sadia. She helped me calm my nerves and trust my instincts. Before, I was so nervous and anxious behind the wheel but you helped me become more relaxed and a safer driver. I have your voice in my head directing and guiding me throughout the test which helped😂. I wanna say thanks again for all your support!!

Tom was a great instructor. He was very patient at the start and gave me excellent advice and teaching so I was able to pass my test first time. Would highly recommend.

I couldn’t recommend Sadia enough. She is a wonderful instructor who is very patient with all aspects in your lessons. She supported me and did everything she could to accommodate me and my personal life to give lessons and support I needed. Boosting my confidence even when I didn’t believe in myself. Thank you Sadia

Loved my lessons with Thomas, they were very informative, well structured and enjoyable! Thomas is really knowledgable and definitely knows his stuff, if you're looking for driving lessons I would highly recommend Thomas.

Great time learning with Sadia Nasir. She helped me to pass, and now I can't wait to go on all the road trips I can!

I couldn’t thank enough for Sadia. Her professionalism, and dedication to her job lead to my Pass result from the first time. She might be strict, but she will make you achieve the best driving you can

Sadia is a professional, friendly, supportive and patient instructor. She focused on my success and helped me get over my nervousness and lack of confidence after failing my first test with a different instructor. Thank you so much!

I recently passed my practical driving test. My instructor was the best instructor in the whole world, SADIA NASIR, and I am very pleased with the experience. Mrs Sadia is an exceptional driving instructor who combines professionalism with a friendly and supportive teaching style.
I highly recommend Sadia Nasir to anyone looking to learn how to drive. The lessons were not only educational but also enjoyable, making the entire learning process smooth and effective.

Thank you, Mrs Sadia, for helping me become a confident and safe driver!

Tom is a really good instructor. Supportive, calm, friendly and patient. He is flexible to date and time changes. He was my wife's instructor as well. Both of us passed first time. I would recommend him to anybody looking to start driving lessons. Thank you very much Tom

Thanks Thomas for making it possible for me to pass my driving test first time, couldnt have done it without you.

I was really struggling with learning to drive a manual car. Then I decided to switch to Shadia and an automatic, and my experience completely changed. I became so much more confident and even passed on my first attempt.

I learnt to drive with Sadia and passed first time with only one minor!
I thoroughly enjoyed my lessons with her. She was professional as well as friendly. She made learning an enjoyable experience for me.

Thank you to my amazing driving instructor Kulvinder who helped me pass first time! Kulvinder was my 3rd driving instructor and was definitely by far the best! Thank you Kulvinder.

Tom is absolutely lovely teacher! He is trying all he can that you would learn and pass your exam! Massive Thank You to Tom for giving me useful lessons and patience during this time !

I passed my practical driving test today! I just want to give the biggest thank you to my instructor Sadia. Not only has she taught me how to drive and be a safe driver on the road. She has also taught me self-confidence which I will carry with me for the rest of my life. She’s very patient and supportive and she will be your biggest cheerleader. Thank you so much!

Sadia is an amazing instructor. She’s very patient, supportive and encouraging. She answered every question I had and made my driving experiences very fun and relaxing. Honestly the best instructor ever, thank you for making me pass :))

I’d like to thank Sadia for being a fabulous teacher. From the beginning Sadia was super friendly, supportive & patient. We had great conversations laughs whilst learning which made every lesson enjoyable. I’d like to thank Sadia for helping me pass, super grateful.

I had a great time learning with Sadia. She is the best instructor in Goodmayes by far.

Sadia is super supportive and reassuring! In every lesson you can see her desire to see you succeed. A great instructor

Sadia was a fantastic instructor and made learning to drive a fun experience. She made me feel relaxed and at ease throughout our lessons and was always offering her time with any questions I had which I really appreciated. Couldn’t recommend Sadia enough and thank you so much for helping me pass first time :)

Sadia is a great instructor, thoroughly professional and yet very personable. She works around a specific pupil’s needs and that makes her lessons highly efficient. Me and my wife both took lessons with her, we highly recommend her!

Tom is unquestionably an excellent teacher. He has taught me how to drive responsibly and safely with the help of his instruction and patience. He really makes us feel at ease, and I am grateful for the support, confidence, and trust he brings. I'd suggest Tom wholeheartedly.
- Thank you Tom

Thank you Tom! Great instructor

I had the best time learning with driveJohnson's and Sadia Nasir. She was straightforward to talk to and learn from, and I can't thank her enough. It is thanks to her that I passed without any minor faults.

Had a great time learning to drive with Albab, would definitely recommend.

10/10 service from the office & the instructor, can’t recommend them enough.

I had an outstanding experience with Tom, who played a pivotal role in my success in passing the driving test on my first attempt. From the very first lesson, he demonstrated not only a deep understanding of driving techniques but also a patient and encouraging demeanor that immediately put me at ease. Their ability to communicate complex maneuvers in a clear and concise manner made the learning process enjoyable and comprehensible. One of the standout qualities of Tom is their unwavering patience. No question was too small or insignificant, and each query was met with a thorough and thoughtful explanation. The detailed reviews after each session gave me clear understanding on the faults I made and helped me prepare myself for the next session. Thanks to Tom, I feel well-equipped to navigate the roads safely and confidently. I highly recommend Tom to anyone in search of an exceptional driving instructor. Thank you for making my learning experience enjoyable!

Test tip of the month for Dagenham

Stop the car if you are doing the bay park and realise you will go over the white lines. Don't continue going over the lines. You can go over them slightly, but imagine a car was parked in the bay. If you think you would hit it, then stop and adjust.

Useful driving test tip for Dagenham Show more

Useful driving test tip for Dagenham

Your examiner will ask you to pull up the left several times during the test. Sometimes they will ask you to stop by something specific such as behind a parked car or next to a lamp post. Sometimes, they will ask you to pull up on the left at a safe place where you would leave your car.

When the examiner says this, they are testing to see whether you stop in unsuitable areas such as bends, double yellow lines, too close to a junction, opposite a junction, double parking, and more. When the examiner says, “Pull up on the left at a safe place where you would leave your car”, get your thinking cap on!
