I struggled at the beginning as I was taking my lessons late in the evening and I was knackered from work.Ashley offered to do my lessons in the morning before work and it was a game changer. He didn't want me wasting my money and he re-scheduled his personal life to fit around my lessons and help me. On top of that he's a great instructor. Knows his stuff!

I would highly recommend Ashley to anyone. He listened to the areas I felt I needed to work on and he also advised me on the areas he felt I need to work on. I done around 15 hours with Ashley but passed with flying colours. I also done the course Pass Plus which built my confidence on the motorway driving and night driving. Great Job Ashely. Thank you.

I can't thank Ashley enough. I had been involved in a car accident pretty close to when I was at test standard a few years ago which put me off sitting in a car let alone going for my test. I hadn't driven for at least 3 years and needed to over come my fear. Ash took me back to basics, rebuilt my confidence and made me the best I can be as a Learner driver. I am so happy with his teaching styles and happy I was allocated to him. Passed first time only 2 minors.

If at first you don't succeed - call Ashley Simpson up at driveJohnsons. I failed three times with other companies and then I was recommended to try Ashley through facebook.I didn't look back - he got me through the test first time. Thank you drivejohnsons and Ashley.

Test Tip Of The Month For Scarborough

When turning left out of the Scarborough test centre, if asked to take the first available right turn, remember that the first right junction is a No Entry road. Some examiners may help you see this (some may not), and of course, it is important to always look out for signs, but on the test day you will be less flustered if you take note of this and plan to take the second right.

Useful Driving Test Tip For Scarborough

If you notice the examiner marking something on the marking sheet, don't panic! There are other elements of the test that they need to mark, which doesn't mean you have received a recorded fault. They have to mark down when a manoeuvre, hill start, angled moving off, and more is completed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, we do. We have instructors that work Saturday and Sunday all day and up to 8pm on certain days of the week. So, whatever your availability is, we can work with you to fit your lessons into your schedule.

With Scarborough being surrounded by many rural country roads expect to cover some country roads, especially on the 8:10 am test routes. Your test centre is in Eastfield, so it's not uncommon to head towards Saxton and Filey as well as these are easily accessible with a 5-minute drive.

Fear not, whatever route you come across our driveJohnson's approved instructor would have covered it with you during your lessons or within a mock test.

If you're starting off learning as a complete beginner, you will start of in quieter areas such as Newbury and Cayton areas. In these quiet areas you will learn the basics of driving, reaching up to 3rd gear. When you're ready to progress you will move onto more complex driving, tackling busy junctions and Scarborough town centre for example. Towards the end of your learning, you will be driving on tricky junctions, roundabouts and one way systems, as well as driving the test routes during your lessons.
