Sean Smith is a fantastic instructor, and I can't fault him for anything. He was always punctual and had great lessons planned for me.

Having tried over schools I am glad that I chose to drive with driveJohnson and Jon in particular. He made it easy to get my head around the more difficult aspects of driving and I am so happy he was my teacher.

Paul is a great driving instructor, very friendly, patient and always explained everything very clearly. This ultimately led to a first time pass. I highly recommend Paul to anyone.

Absolutely fantastic instructor with a fantastic sense of humour
Overall great teacher
Who made me pass
Couldn’t recommend him more !!

Great instructor, helped me through my test and amazing man!! Can’t thank him enough!

After making over 20 calls and being told everywhere was fully booked, I managed to get a lesson booked with Drivejohnsons, and since then, I have had lessons weekly with my instructor Sean Smith. He is an excellent instructor. I would recommend him to anyone.

All I can say is that Paul is an amazing instructor would recommend to everyone. He is very passionate about his job and wishes the best for everyone, he makes you feel confident even if something little went wrong always kind no matter what. honestly he is a brilliant instructor and I hope he carries on for a long time. as all of his students will feel comfortable and confident in all their lessons with him , he gives great advise, always has a chat with u, and always see hope and potential for all his students. Thanks to Paul I passed my driving test today 1st time with his amazing help and support, highly recommend

What a great instructor Jon Sears is. He is a valuable asset to drive johnson and is always on time and professional.

Paul is an absolutely brilliant instructor. I started off my lessons very nervous to drive (thought it’s something i’d always wanted to do). He always ensured to explain to me how everything works and how to drive confidently yet vigilantly. He was always available and reliable and overall a great person/teacher!
Thanks to Paul I passed first time with only 5 minors.
I highly recommend Paul to any and all new drivers.
Thanks Paul!

I would highly recommend having Paul as your instructor. He is extremely patient, knowledgeable, and encouraging. I have over 10 years of experience driving an automatic, so I had to get over a bit of a hurdle, but I ended up passing the first time. He is also friendly and approachable, which helps calm nerves.

Paul is an excellent driving instructor who helped me pass my test first time. He is very patient and he helped develop my confidence on the road. Would highly recommend to all learner drivers.

Paul has been great, his patience and optimism has helped me through my journey to becoming a driver. He has offered me many tips and tricks, and in times of stress he has always stayed calm. And if you like a bit of rock n roll, he’s your man !
Thanks Paul, just passed today and I couldn’t be happier !

Great instructor, passed 1st time within 6 months.
Thank you so so much!

Jon Sears was fantastic. He honestly made me feel so comfortable and he was so laid back which just meant that I could focus on driving and not have to worry about anything else. It felt great to learn with him and I am so happy he was my teacher.

Paul is a very patient and passionate instructor. With his encouragement and of course my hard work I was able to pass first time. There were ups and downs throughout the lessons but I got there in the end. Thank you Paul.

Good instructor passed on my third go, addressed every problem after failing and worked out to be a good teacher and generally a nice guy, drive johnsons is the way.

Just wanted to say a big thank you for all your help over the past months. You've been a great instructor—super patient, full of useful tips, and always easy to learn with. I’ve really appreciated the good chats (and even better song recommendations). Wishing you all the best with the move to Lincoln and the new students—I'm sure they’ll be lucky to have you! Hope the piano practice keeps going strong too.

I was terrified to be a driver on the roads, but now I am confident due to passing first time. Jon has helped grow my confidence and make me a better driver.

Great teacher and knows his stuff. Would definitely recommend.

Paul has been an fantastic teacher and enjoyable learning with, very reliable too. I recommend Paul to anyone.

Paul was incredibly professional and always patient with me. I can't thank him enough for all of his help and support.

A really great instructor and all-around nice guy. Paul showed great patience and helped me loads in in increasing my confidence on the road. He identified my areas of weakness and focused on turning them into my strengths. Always pleasant and friendly to drive and chat with. Took me from being a very nervous novice to a confident road user looking forward to spending more time behind the wheel.
Just passed my test on my second attempt and think I'm really going to miss my weekly lessons now. Would definitely recommend Paul to any prospective learners.
Thank you so much for everything! ;)

Paul is super knowledgeable and always answers any question that I have. He is a great instructor and a truly lovely person.

First time passed! Very approachable instructor.
We covered everything on my driving test so I felt really confident.

Paul was a great instructor- very patient, calm and clear with instructions and guidance. I have passed my test first time and I'm sure I wouldn't be able to do so as successfully had it not been for Paul's help. Thank you!

If you need to pass fast, then choose to learn with Sean. He is a fantastic instructor and always gave me great feedback, and because of that, I passed first time.

5/5 Very easy to book and I got a lesson within a week, very happy with my instructor Sean so far.

I had a great time learning with Paul, and I would recommend him to anyone.

I have just passed my driving test with no minors after learning with Paul for 4 months - I have really enjoyed all of my lessons and can't wait to start driving!

Answers to any questions you have. Very careful and supportive. Always on time.

Jon made my driving experience fun. I may have been nervous to start but he made it so I never felt rushed and was so confident and calm when it came to my test that I just knew I would pass. Thank you Jon you are the best.

Paul, my driving instructor was amazing with teaching me the controls of the car and building my confidence in driving. He was always so patient and helpful in every aspect of the drive. Thank you!

Amazing driving instructor, very helpful, it took me only 6 lessons to pass my driving test. Thank you for that.

Paul has been a great instructor, easy to arrange lessons with. Very easy to get along with and made me feel confident as a driver and I passed first time, highly recommend!

It was great to learn with Paul as he was super professional and incredibly welcoming. He was great at keeping me calm and made me feel in control all of the time.

Paul is very friendly and helpful- he was flexible with booking lessons around my work schedule, and helped me get up to speed really quickly (no pun intended) and was able to pass on my first attempt. Thanks Paul for all the help!

If you need an instructor, make sure you learn with Jon Sears, as he is one of the best instructors. I can't recommend him highly enough as he was super friendly and made me feel incredibly confident.

If you are looking for a local and reliable instructor, then look no further than Paul Hirst. He is super friendly and also incredibly professional.

Paul has been a great instructor - patient and calm, always providing a clear guidance and instructions. I have passed my test first time and I'm sure i wouldn't have been a successful had it not been for Paul,'s help. Thank you!

Paul was a very pacient instructor, and it took a while but he helped me pass. He's a calm instructor and goes over anything that you might struggle with.

Amazing teacher, very patient and flexible with lessons. Passed first time with him as my only teacher and felt confident afterwards thanks to his teachings.

Absolute 5 star instructor. Started nervous and getting things wrong to teaching me well with a pass with 3 minors. Would recommend him to anyone!!! Can't thank him enough

Great instructor and friendly person

I had mainly been self taught via my mum but after failing my first test, with a fair few faults, I decided to book a few lessons with Paul. He managed to fit me in with not a lot of warning and gave me some really useful advice not only to pass the test but also to become an all round better driver too. He has a great sense of humour and really put me to ease on my test day. In the end I managed to pass, first time with him, with 0 faults. I really recommend Paul!

I passed first time with Paul, he was very patient and understanding. Was very helpful if I needed to go over anything. Thank you Paul! :)

Jon was fab and he helped me pass the first time with no minors. Jon and drive johnson has given me the best experience I could have asked for.

Whooo! Thank you for helping me to pass first time with only 5 minors Jon! You are a great teacher and by far the best around!

Getting to learn with Jon Sears was super easy and fun. He always made me laugh, and as my lessons went on, I became more and more confident.

Jon was a patient and encouraging instructor. Even as an experienced driver (recently moved to the UK from the states) I was a bit uneasy driving in a new country and apprehensive to take my practical exam. Jon put me at ease from the start and gave me all the tools I needed to pass my exam. Highly recommended!

Fantastic instructor, really helpful and patient.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where will I take my test?

When you take driving lessons in Market Harborough, you will need to take your test in another location. Your closest three options are Kettering, Northampton and Wellingborough.

However, we will make sure that once you are a comfortable driver, you begin learning where you want to take your test. This means that we won't long your lessons out and make you learn in an area that won't benefit your chances of passing.

What areas will I go to learn to drive when taking driving lessons in Market Harborough?

Market Harborough has several great places to develop your skills as you are learning to drive. One, in particular, is the car park behind the Roebuck just off of the A4304, Rockingham Road. The best part of practising here is that it has a lot of wide-open spaces and places for you to practice your parking. It is generally much quieter than other spots, and it allows you to nail bay parking without the pressure of other cars.

If you want to practice car control and turning, then a great place to do this is Chatsworth Drive. This is because it is a long quiet road that has left and right turns in. The benefit to practising along this road is that it not only helps you practice the basics once you have reached the end of the road, but you can also then go down Audley Close.

What do I cover when I begin my lessons?

When you begin taking driving lessons in Market Harborough with our local instructors, they will make sure you have a robust set of basic skills before they start to add more and more techniques. The fundamentals you will learn are the car's controls, adjusting the seat and mirrors, what pedal does what, moving off and stopping and how to steer.

Once you have developed these skills, you can then begin to tackle scenarios that involve more road users. These include joining major and minor roads, turning left from major to minor roads, turning right from major to minor roads, which is more difficult than turning left and tackling t-junctions.
