First of what i would like to thank Mr Rafi for all he's effort And time that he put into teaching me how to drive . He was my first instructor and the only one, he took me from the beginning to the end and i have past test with very high results only 1 minor fault. I would truly recommend Mr Rafi to anyone who is planing on learning how to drive, he's very nice , polite and understanding, the way he explains things is very easy to understand and follow, he's a people person, make me feel comfortable from the start to the end. He believe in he's students, even if I wasn't sure that i can do it he was positive and believing i can!! Now that is all over and i got my license thanks to Mr Rafi i am very happy and pleased but at the same time kind of regret it as i will be missing the lovely chat with him. Such a amazing instructor

Sandra

passed at first time very frustrating at times but knew with rafi alongside me every step of the way i knew i could pass if you are reading this and looking for instructors give rafi a try and you wont regret it.

Rafi has been an excellent instructor. I started off very nervous after having tried driving lessons (and not progressing) almost ten years earlier and Rafi managed to give me my confidence back. I passed first time. He is honest and really helped me to identify and focus on areas of development and pushed me to achieve a first time pass with only 2 minors. Full credit to Rafi for getting me through it!

I am an experienced driver but new to the UK - and Mr. Rafi was able to adapt and tune the lessons to my skill level and teach me the things I needed to learn and understand, and these focused lessons helped me pass my driving test on the very first attempt! Super grateful, top stuff and whole-heartedly recommend!

I passed my test first time. Rafi was really great to work with, we set a goal of passing this year, he coached me to drive and do the test when I felt ready. He is a brilliant instructor and helped me build confidence in my own ability. Would 100% recommend Rafi as an instructor

driveJohnson's has helped me to master my driving by placing me with Ravi. Ravi is a fantastic instructor, and thanks to him, I passed the first time.

I passed on my first try thanks to Rafi! He is a great instructor and will get you where you need to go! Highly recommend.

Rafi was a great help in me passing my test after having a break from trying for 3 years! He made sure I never gave up and drove with a goal in mind!

Rafi is an amazing, encouraging, calm and honest driving teacher. He was my sixth instructor and I was ready to give up driving before I started having lessons with him. He explains everything thoroughly and never lets you give up. Before I started learning with Rafi I was someone who dreaded driving lessons (and would regularly cry during them) but he turned this around. He was persistent and thorough, which resulted in me passing my test with only one minor. I cannot thank Rafi enough and would recommend him to anyone - especially nervous drivers.

Rafi was off the highest quality, very attentive to detail on the road, very patient and making sure you learn everything possible for your test whilst making you feel comfortable behind the wheel. Everything was very quick and smoothly done from the first lesson to the test day. I couldn’t ask for a better driving instructor to get my license.

Yabbadabbodoo! I pass my test today, I am over the moon and I could not do it without Rafi, which I want to thank so much.
I decided to take up driving lessons after 15 years because i wanted to drive my family with a car in the future. It was so incredibly lucky that DriveJohnson recommended Rafi to me. He is top class professional instructor, motivator and life coach and takes care of you, giving sound and firm advice to learn from your mistakes. I had 7 months of intensive driving lessons to be road aware and safe road driving to pass first time!
Rafi believed in me that I would pass my test, I could let him down for the effort he puts in. I have a lot of mutual respect for a person who cares for the people their teaching. Thanks bro you are amazing.

If you are starting your search for the right driving instructor, look no further!!! I had a great experience with Drive Johnson's, from the first phone call, throughout all my lessons and the final test - they were truly professional. My instructor Raffi was great! He really put me at ease when learning and made sure I was ready for my test, passing first time!!

I appreciate Rafi for his calmness, patience and encouragement. Rafi always made sure that he spared all his time to help work on the areas i was struggling with during my training. After every lesson, Rafi would record where i need to put all my strength and energy to fix in my next lesson. And once he was happy with that, then he would move me to another chapter of the lessons. In that way, i kept learning and building my confidence. He would see my losing hope sometimes, but he made sure he encourages me to continue working hard knowing i will pass. Am so happy to pass my test today 2nd time.

Mr. Rafi is an exceptional driving instructor who embodies the motto "stay cool like ice." His unwavering patience and dedication to teaching have been instrumental in enhancing my driving skills and instilling confidence behind the wheel. I am truly grateful for his guidance.

I thoroughly enjoyed my driving lessons with Rafi. As well as being a fantastic instructor, he is a very positive person. He has the perfect balance between being tough and being patient, which makes him a great person to learn from. Thanks to Rafi, I was able to pass my driving test after just a couple of months.

They generally don’t come like raafi anymore legendary teacher. Really changed my whole driving experience in the best way possible.

Rafi is such an amazing instructor, he never gave up on my driving even though I’m very impatient. He thought me how to drive from scratch and was very supportive. I would definitely recommend him to everyone.

Rafi is a patient and nice instructor. I was a very nervous when start driving, but it got improved gradually with Rafi’s guidance.
I passed my test recently, without his professional advice I wouldn’t be able to pass the test within a short period of learning time.
Thank you Rafi and good luck for the future!

“Success is something that comes with a lot of hard work and patience”... My experience with Rafi has definitely consolidated this cliché. He has been great with helping me get my driving license through hard work and lots of advice both on and off the road. He is a great person and I am glad to call a true friend!

Mohammad Rafi is incredible! I passed my test today. He was so supportive and helpful. The best instructor out there!

Rafi takes the time to sharpen your weak areas of driving to make you the best possible driver on the road. He tests you often so by the time you do your real test your confident and find it easy.

Im glad that I had Mr Rafi!
Truly best mentor & instructor in the world, he teaches me motivation and believe in myself, and teach how to successfully behave on the road! Today i have passed exam with only 2 small mistakes ?


Mr Rafi stay coool
Coool on the road???

Many thanks Karolina Sybicka

Amazing instructor, will help you in every way possible. Rafi will teach you life skills as well as driving skills. I wouldn’t have been able to pass without Rafi. I would recommend to anyone!

Rafi has been the most amazing instructor I could ever ask for. His ambition and positivity kept me going in stressful situations. He is able to keep you calm and provide good guidance without 'interfering' with your driving/journey. Rafi provided me with not only the best driving skills, but a much more positive outlook on life in general. He is a great individual, and I am sad to have passed and be leaving lessons with him.

Outstanding instructor -passed 1st time. Rafi is a veteran instructor that organised a test and helped me to pass in just 3 weeks! He knows all the common mistakes that new drivers make and will fine-tune your driving so that you are confidant and safe on the road. He his a professional who I would highly recommend.

Rafi is without a doubt the best instructor I have ever had. Without him I would not have been able to pass, he completely restored my confidence in driving. He not only taught me how to prepare for the test but also for driving in general in areas I was not familiar with. He’s also very flexible and works around you, often sacrificing his own free time closer to the test date. Thank you so so much Rafi for your amazing teacher and your patience. It was always a bonus we had lovely chats during our lessons!!! Wish you all the best

A first time passer thanks to you Rafi! A massive thank you for pushing me, believing in me and being patient on the days I needed it. It’s been a memorable experience and I’ve learnt a skill for life.
I couldn’t recommend Rafi enough. THANK YOU!

Rafi is 100% reliable when it comes to driving. He works around you so you can do your lessons when it suits you best. He always sends me YouTube links everyday to to watch in order to practice and stay refreshed. Under his guidance I passed first time with 4 minors and he was so excited for when i passed. Rafi is 100% geninue nice guy and I would recommend him to anyone and everything.

I had a great time learning to drive, and thank you driveJohnson's for organising excellent tuition.

I really enjoyed driving with Rafi! He’s supportive and motivating and this gives me great confidence. I passed with one minor! Thanks Rafi

Rafi is an excellent teacher who will go the extra mile to help his students. With his great knowledge of driving, his professionalism and patience, Rafi pushed me to pass first time. I was extremely nervous when I first started to take lessons but Rafi was able to help build my confidence on the road. Extremely great full for the extra tips and videos Rafi sent me to help improve my driving.

I highly recommend Rafi as a driving instructor.

Amazing mentor, only done 3 months of lessons and passed 🙌

Rafi is a very good instructor as he tell you what you need to know at all times. He helped me pass my test as he believed in me. And I would recommend him for anyone else learning how to drive.

I had the pleasure of learning to drive with Mr. Rafi, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thanks to his dedication, patience, and expertise, I passed my driving exam on the first attempt!

Mr. Rafi truly goes above and beyond for his students. He is incredibly dedicated to ensuring their success and takes the time to tailor his teaching approach to each individual’s needs. His attention to detail and emphasis on safety made me feel confident and well-prepared for the exam.

I highly recommend Mr. Rafi to anyone looking to learn how to drive. With his guidance and support, you’ll be on the road to success in no time. Thank you, Mr. Rafi, for helping me achieve this milestone!

Thank you for all the information you taught in a short period of time. It was pleasure to prepare with you.

Best instructor hands down. Book your lessons now and get that plastic

Rafi is very professional, focused , funny and instills the belief into you that you got this " Lets go and smash this brother " and we smashed the that test to bits and pieces

Thank you for your help in finally getting my driving licence and therefore freedom to go wherever I want whenever I want :) Rafi is a great teacher, patient yet he does say things as they are. He went extra mile and when I approached him just a week before my exam for help he squeezed me in to his very busy schedule and made sure that I have enough lessons. Thanks to him I have passed in my first attempt with just 3 minors. Thank you very much again and be sure I will be recommending you to all my friends and family.

Rafi is an exceptional instructor, displaying remarkable patience and a unique ability to adapt his teaching to suit each individual's needs. I successfully passed my driving test with just two minors, and I am profoundly grateful for his unwavering commitment and dedication to teaching.

Rafi's professionalism and passion for his work were evident throughout my lessons. His well-structured plans, insightful feedback, and experienced instruction significantly contributed to my skill development and boosted my confidence. I also thoroughly enjoy our friendly chats along the journey. Thanks to Rafi, I passed my driving test on the first attempt. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking an excellent instructor for a successful learning and testing experience.

Rafi! One of my biggest blessings ! He has been the best instructor ever, he told me he would make me a great driver and that is EXACTLY what he did! Couldn’t thank him or recommend him enough.
#besties !!

GO RAFI!!

I have passed my test from the first time with only 2 minors. All thanks to Mr Rafi who was so patient with me and made me overcome my fears . He taught me all the necessary information, explained everything patiently. Thank you Mr. Rafi

Dear Rafi,

Thank you so much for your help! Without your patient teaching I would not have been able to improve so much, to brace myself for a driving test. I’m really happy to pass the test especially with so few minor faults! Thank you ever so much for all your help.

Great help from rafi, supported me all the way and guided me to pass. He tought me everything and eventually had great success in passing!!

After a negative experience with a previous instructor I didn’t think I would ever enjoy driving. My confidence in the car was at an all time low, but after beginning lessons with Rafi that all started to change.
He was patient, honest, amazingly encouraging, and just an all round lovely person. He made me feel at ease straight away and made learning to drive fun and positive. He helped me build my confidence on the road and I feel so grateful for that.
He was always on time, incredibly knowledgable and knew exactly what we needed to work on from the previous lesson. I ended up passing with just 1 minor, which I could not have done without him!
I can’t recommend him highly enough!
Thank you Rafi!

Thanks to his guidance, I knew exactly where I needed to improve and how to get ready for the test. With his support, I passed on my first attempt. Thank you, Rafi

Test tip of the month for Southall

When doing the forward bay park, the examiner will ask you to drive forward into any bay. Driving forwards into a bay with parked cars is tricky, so try to avoid doing it next to parked cars or at least do it next to just one parked car.

Useful driving test tip for Southall

Taking a mock test leading up to your driving test is a great way to practice the pressure and get a rough idea of how ready you are for your test. If you are getting 102 serious faults two weeks before your test, consider having a few extra hours. If you can't pass the mock test, how will you pass on the day of the actual test?

Frequently asked questions...

Can I have automatic driving lessons in Southall?

Yes, you can. We have some fantastic instructors offering automatic driving lessons in Southall and surrounding areas. Whether you want to jump straight into automatic lessons or would like to switch from manual, we can help you. Our automatic driving instructors in Southall will help build up your confidence on the roads and have you passed in no time.

What can I expect when learning to drive in Southall?

The prospect of driving in London areas like Southall can be quite daunting for many, but there's no need to worry - our driving instructors won't throw you in at the deep end expecting you to be able to drive amazingly at the start. Instead, you'll begin your driving lessons in one of the quieter areas like the neighbouring area of Greenford. Queens Avenue/Princes Avenue and Portland Crescent are much wider than those in Southall, making learning the basics like pulling away from and stopping by the side of the road much easier, as well as completing manoeuvres like the parallel park as there are often parked cars in these areas.

After about 2-6 hours driving in the quieter areas, depending on how quickly you pick it up, you'll start to cover the roads and junctions that will be included in your driving test. These roads include The Parkway, the A40 and Southall High Street. These roads will require you to deal with large, multi-lane roundabouts and complex junctions, where good lane discipline and some local knowledge are essential to driving well, particularly the busy White Hart Roundabout which has 4 lanes and 5 exits!

You can rest assured that our driving instructors are all fully qualified and experienced in the area. They know the best and worst areas to drive in and will cover everything that will come up on your driving test in-depth, so there are no surprises on your driving test day!
