Fantastic teacher and he always helped me to break down my manoeuvres and ace my test.

I was struggling to learn in a manual so I switched to automatic and never looked back as I instantly felt super comfortable and got to pass on my first try.

Thanks to my Instructor at Drive Johnson couldn’t have done it without him.

Fantastic instructor. I passed first time and couldn't have done without Altaf!

10/10 driving lessons with Zaff, highly recommend. Passed my driving test after 12 hours and 1st time!!

I'm so pleased with drive johnsons driving school I passed my driving test first time

I am an older learner who never drove but have had to due to a family issue. I am so thankful that I was partnered with Zaff Hussain as he was incredibly helpful in breaking down driving and growing my confidence every step of the way.

I passed first time with Altaf he is a great instructor, he is very patient and explained concepts in an easy way. Altaf was great in developing my skills and built my confidence to pass the first attempt. He gave me great tips on being a safe driver. I would highly recommend Altaf as an instructor.

Thank you Zaff for everything, so happy to have passed my driving test. Came to drivejohnsons with no experience whatsoever and passed after 28 hours which was so much faster than expected.

Had automatic driving lessons with Zaff in Preston. Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an instructor. He does manual too which is great as a started with manual and then switched to automatic but didn't have to change instructors!

I had amazing lessons with Zaff every time he taught me it was incredible, and he was super professional and always gave me advice that continued to develop my skills.

I loved learning with Zaff, we got to talk about sports and current events and it helped me to pass and get my confidence and driving on track.

Zaff is a top driving instructor, helped me learn fast and pass 1st time.

I was given Zaff's number from a friend, and thanks to learning with Zaff, I passed first time and got to pass with only 10 hours of lessons.

Learning to drive with Zaff was the best decision ever! He's so friendly, professional and knowledgable. Learnt lots every lessons and learned really fast. I was ready to take my test after 22 hours and I passed first time. :)

Test tip of the month for Preston

Moving off is in the top 10 reasons for failing a driving test. A couple of classic reasons are: being in the wrong gear when stationary at lights or a junction and then stalling; and another is moving off with the handbrake still on or slightly on, especially on hills.

Useful driving test tip for Preston

In busy towns and cities, look out for pedestrians near the road. Try not to encourage them to cross by slowing down too much. Definitely don’t wave them across the road. Pedestrians only have priority if they are already on the road or if they are at a pedestrian crossing and it’s their priority.
