Useful driving test tip for Peterlee Show more

Useful driving test tip for Peterlee

If you ever forget what direction you should be going, always ask the examiner in plenty of time. You will never fail your driving test for going in the wrong direction, but you can fail for not driving safely. If in doubt, ask in plenty of time.

Frequently asked questions...

I go to East Durham College and want to take my lessons round my classes. Can I do this? I'll need to be picked up from the college and dropped off home on the other side of town after.

We are often asked by our learners if it's possible for our driveJohnson's driving instructors to pick up from one place and drop off in another. This should be absolutely fine. Just let our booking team know on 0330 124 4877 when you book your driving lessons. They will then be able to allocate you with a driving instructor that is available at times that work with your college schedule. The team will also inform them where to pick you up from and drop you off to.

I'm nervous about my child learning to drive. Why should I trust driveJohnson's with their driving lessons?

Firstly, thank you for considering driveJohnson's for your child's driving lessons. We understand what a nerve-racking experience it can be for a parent seeing their child learn to drive and we don't take that responsibility lightly.

We believe that we are the best driving school for teaching your child to drive. But you don't have to take our word for it - the following facts speak for themselves:

  • We have the highest review score on Trustpilot of any national driving school in the UK, at 4.9 out of 5 stars.
  • The national average learner passes in 57 hours, whilst our average learners pass in just 26 hours, which is less than half the time!
  • 1000s of students have passed with us and we have been established since 2005 so you can trust that we know what we're doing.
  • We strongly believe in good customer service. We have our instuctors and an office-based support team on hand to help should you have any queries at all, in stark contrast to some other driving schools where it is not possible to get hold of anyone.
  • All of our driving instructors are fully qualified and observed by a company trainer at least twice a year on top of the DVSA’s standards check to ensure that they are superb quality.

If you have any questions about what we offer, or would simply like to discuss your concerns, please do not hesitate to give our team a call on 0203 9705101 to talk it through. We would be very happy to help.

I've just booked my first driving lesson in Peterlee. What should I expect?

That is great news and we look forward to you having driving lessons with us. Your first driving lesson in Peterlee will mainly be about you and your driving instructor getting to know each other and where your skill level is at. Some people come to their driving lessons with a lot of experience; others have never been behind the wheel. Both is absolutely fine.

Your driving test instructor will do a quick eyesight check and check your provisional licence (don't forget to bring this with you!) then they'll ask you a few questions to gauge where you are at. Typically, your driving instructor will then drive you to a quieter area where you can take over and show them your skill level.

You can read our guide to what happens on your first driving lesson for more detail.
