Driving Lessons In South Shields

Taking your driving lessons in South Shields, there is a driving test centre located right in South Shields at Bede industrial estate. This means when learning to drive in South Shields, you'll become familiar with the roads around the test centre and the driving test routes!

Unlike many driving schools in South Shields and across the UK, we use our own fully qualified, local driving instructors. Our driving instructors have developed a number of impressive testimonials that speak for themselves. Reese learnt with us recently and had this to say about his instructor - "She was really good at finding my weaknesses and focusing my lessons around them until I was much better. Her knowledge of local areas such as Westoe and Harton was great, as it meant every lesson was different, giving me great experience. I won't lie, I was a bit nervous when it came to busier roads like the A194, but by the time my test date was here, I felt super confident and passed first time!"

You have nothing to worry about when you take your test with a driveJohnson's instructor, as well as covering all of your manoeuvres and driving skills, they will familiarise you with the test routes in South Shields. A lot of people fail due to there being temporary roadworks on Jarrow Road, which is right outside the test centre - the instructor will make sure you're prepared for this, as you don't want roadworks causing you to fail!

With a scenic sea front, South Shields is a beautiful town to learn the life long skill of driving in. The closer you get to the coast, you'll probably find more narrow streets and a high volume of speed bumps, where as around the town centre, you will find a few tricky crossroads/turns and more yellow box junctions - especially outside the South Shields Town Hall. Our instructors will have you so confident with tasks like these as quickly as possible, and you won't need to worry about using the A1018 or the A1300 - they'll cover these with you too! So if you're looking for enjoyable and information-packed driving lessons in South Shields, look no further than driveJohnson's!
