Rated 5 out of 5

Based on 7 customer reviews

After having driving lessons with another school and failing my test, I decided to give driveJohnson's a go and a new instructor. Defiantly the right move, learnt so much more with Ahmed and passed after having 10 hours with him.

Great instructor, I have had several lessons now with Pat, highly recommend.

Passed my driving test 1st time with Pat, would highly recommend.

Fantastic instructor, Ive had 10 hours so far and have learned so much in this time, made me feel very comfortable and am feeling really confident.

Passed 1st time with 2 minors. All through my lessons from start to finish Pat always made me feel at ease with my driving. I am over the moon and would highly recommend this driving school.

I’ve previously had bad experiences with 2 other instructors. Then I joined DriveJohnsons who provided me with Pat Walker who equipped me with a set of new skills and confidence in driving. She got me to pass first time and I wouldn’t have without her.
Pat is the best instructor and made me enjoy the lessons rather than dread them.
Wishing you all the best :)

Pat's a great instructor, very calm and clear. She was a pleasure to learn with and I'd happily recommend her. I passed first time. Thanks Pat!

Test tip of the month for Waltham Abbey

Moving off with the handbrake on is a popular reason for failing your test. Many learners don't release the handbrake fully when moving off and then, 5-10 seconds later, the car starts to make a beeping noise. At this point, you have probably failed your test.

Useful driving test tip for Waltham Abbey Show more

Useful driving test tip for Waltham Abbey

A classic question is: what happens if you go the wrong way on your test? The answer is not a lot. Just try to do it safely and you will be fine. Many learners will swerve at short notice, realising they are in the wrong lane, and fail for the changing lanes part. If the examiner can see you have time to get into the correct lane, they may repeat the instruction or use hand signals. They won't repeat or re-enforce the direction if it isn't safe or there isn't enough time. You will not receive a driving fault for safely going in the wrong direction on your test.
