We highly recommend that all our pupils (where possible) take their driving test in the same city they've been learning in. This is because you will have had the majority of your driving experience in that city, therefore you will hopefully not be caught off guard by any nasty surprises during your driving test. If you do decide to go for your driving test in another place, such as nearby Heckmondwike, then it is vital you inform your driving instructor so they can take you for some driving lessons here.
Yes, we have driving instructors eager to teach you to drive in Wakefield and many of the surrounding areas. Not only do we cover Wakefield, but we also provide driving lessons in Ossett, Wrenthorpe, Walton and Ackton.
If you are starting as a complete beginner, our Grade A instructors will build you up in areas, such as Wrenthorpe, East Moor, Lupset and Kirkhamgate, which are a bit more quiet. They will take you to a quiet residential area or industrial estate to get you used to moving and stopping the car and build your confidence up before taking you onto busier roads.
Once your confidence is up then we will waste no time and have you driving around the test routes of Wakefield. Since the driving test changed in 2018, the routes consist of more A roads, such as the A61 going through the centre and the A642. On these faster roads, you will be expected to make progress and show your decision making at faster speeds it spot on!
There is plenty of opportunity for practice on all types of road in Wakefield. From the busy A roads, dual-carriageways and rural roads to the quieter residential areas, you have everything you need to prepare you for driving in any area across the UK. Our dedicated driveJohnson's instructor will teach it all to you. With great links to the M1, M62 and having an abundance of A roads, you'll be able to pick up lots of experience joining and leaving fast, national speed limit, multi-carriageway roads.
We are, of course, slightly biased towards our amazing instructors in Wakefield. We do strongly believe we have some of the best driving instructors in Wakefield and the surrounding areas. Our local driving instructors in Wakefield are highly experienced and will know the hotspots and test routes to show you during your lessons.
The average learner passed after just 26 hours of lessons when learning to drive with us: this is half the national average time. This time varies from pupil to pupil depending on whether or not you have any previous driving experience and your driving ability. You may need less or more hours than this, but either way, our instructors will have you passing your driving test and on the road in no time.
Yes, we have a female driving instructor in Wakefield. She also covers the surrounding areas. Not only can you take normal driving lessons with her, but you can also take intensive and semi-intensive lessons.
If you want to be taught by a female instructor, get in touch with us on the phone and let us know. This way, we can get you booked in as soon as possible.
Yes, we have several automatic driving instructors in Wakefield that cover Wakefield and the surrounding areas. We personally choose all of our automatic driving instructors at driveJohnson's and they all come with a grade-A rating.
If you want to start automatic driving lessons in Wakefield, you can request this when booking with us. We try to accommodate any request you have and, thanks to our years of service, we should be able to find the best instructor for you.
