Had my driving test on the 3rd of March in herne Bay which I passed thanks to Mali she is a great instructor I'm based in maidstone and she offered to give me a couple lessons in herne Bay for my test I would 100% recommend her and the schoo in general.
I am so glad that I passed first time with only four minors. Krasimir is an incredible instructor, and I am so happy that drivejohnsons gave me him as my instructor.
I had the best experience with Krasimir. He is super friendly and great at teaching me how to safely complete all of my manoeuvers.
I had an amazing time learning with driveJohnson's and Krasimir. Thanks to him I have passed my test and can now go and get my car!
I am so happy to share that I passed my driving test today, and I owe it all to Mali! From the very first lesson, Mali made me feel at ease and confident behind the wheel. Their calm and patient teaching style helped me stay focused and learn at my own pace, making every lesson both productive and enjoyable.
Mali was incredibly knowledgeable and thorough, always providing clear instructions and useful feedback. Whether it was perfecting manoeuvres or boosting my overall road awareness, Mali made sure I was fully prepared for the test. I never once felt rushed or stressed, and Mali’s encouragement kept me motivated throughout the entire process.
Thanks to Mali’s expertise and support, I passed my test with confidence. I highly recommend Mali to anyone looking for a fantastic, friendly, and professional driving instructor!
You are an incredible instructor, Mali, and I can't thank you enough.
It was great to learn to drive with Krasimir. He gave me a great plan on how to tackle my test, and thanks to him, I passed the first time.
By far the best instructor around, Mali is great at teaching, especially when tackling busier roundabouts and roads.
Krasimir is a fantastic instructor, and I was overjoyed when I passed first-time thanks to him.
Mali is the best instructor around and I would recommend her to anyone!

Lovely time spent together on the roads around Gillingham, especially the famous roundabout down the testing centre.

I had a great time with Mali, she is a brilliant instructor, and I was so pleased to learn with her.
I am so happy that I have passed my driving test, and I am so excited to now be hitting the open road! Thank you for all of your help Krasimir.
Getting to learn to drive is something I have always wanted to learn. I am so happy that I learned with Mali as I was able to pass faster than I even expected.
I was super nervous to begin my driving lessons, but thanks to Krasimir, my lessons were straightforward to follow.
I just passed my test first time with only 3 minors on 22/03/2022. My instructor Mali Summers was amazing. She was very helpful instructor, explained things clearly and calmly. Friendly and knowledgeable, made me feel very comfortable and safe. She was really supportive and I really appreciate everything. She was so kind and I couldn’t have passed without her!Thank you So much for your Mali

Maidstone DTC (driving test centre) has a narrow two-way system entrance and a one-way system in the car park. As you are leaving DTC to start your test, you may be little bit nervous at the beginning and it’s easy to position yourself incorrectly as emerging to the right. Examiners are explaining the one-way rule in the car park due to lack of any road signs, however, under the pressure it’s easy to forget about it on the way out. So please remember to drive slowly using 1st gear on the way in and out of the DTC, keeping well to the left under the arch as it is a two-way road. You can position yourself in the middle of the travelling path inside the car park.
Greg Zatyracz - driving instructor in Maidstone
You have a 1 in 4 chance of being asked to do the emergency stop. If you are asked to do this, the examiner will explain this to you when the car is stationary. You will most likely notice your examiner looking over their shoulder when the car is moving. This is to double-check it’s safe, so be ready. When they look over their shoulder, they are about to ask you to stop!

Yes we have both manual and automatic driving instructors in Maidstone. We have options to suit every preference. If you would prefer to have automatic driving lessons in Maidstone, please let us know and we can accommodate this.
Yes we have instructors providing driving lessons in many of the surrounding areas of Maidstone. We provide driving lessons in Aylesford, Bearsted, Detling, Weavering, Boxley, Friningham, Thurnham and Westfield Sole to name a few.
At driveJohnson's, we go the extra mile to support our learners both in and out of lessons. We believe that the key to passing fast and first time is doing what you can outside of practical lessons to give yourself a boost and continue learning. The last thing you want is to have a week between lessons and forget what you've been taught, this will only set you back and end up costing you more money.
We provide our pupils with the resources they need to continue their learning outside of lessons. Each pupil is given a driving manual with expert driving tips and advice, as well as access to theory training and access to the driveJohnson's app which has tons of content to help further your driving knowledge and get you ready for your test.
It's hard to say how many hours you're likely to need to pass your driving test as this number varies for each learner. On average last year, pupils learning to drive with us passed after 26 hours of lessons, however, you may need less or more hours than this depending on your ability and previous experience. After your first lesson, your driving instructor will be able to give you a rough estimation of how many driving lessons you need to pass your test.
