Thank you Sunil for your help, Made the journey a lot more easier for me took a lot of pressure of my shoulders & taught me the best techniques to pass my test couldn’t of done it without you! Good luck for the future??

Amazing. I was very nervous - first lesson done now! Paul helped me lots...making me feel relaxed and talking me through everying I needed to know. He is very exprienced and Im looking to kearning lots more .Happy to say I'm sticking with Paul next lesson tomorrow. Thank you Paul.

Paul is a great instructor, today I passed my test with only 2 minors not only is he the best instructor he’s a lovely man thank you Paul

Grear tutor to have and practise with all the way until your practical ! Passed with flying colours during mine and i had Paul ti thabk for most if it . very patient and guranteed to learn and improve with each lesson you have with him!

Paul is a very professional, friendly, patient and helpful. Had my first lesson with him and i feel so confident, I've learnt alot on my first lesson, I like more his methods, his explanation. Look forward to the next lesson with him. I would 100% recommend Paul

Excellent driving instructor Paul took the time to get to know me and how I best learn he made me feel at ease straight away and made me feel like I can do this.
I have multiple learning disabilities adhd autism dyslexia to name a few and Paul understood that I had specific learning requirements. I have had lessons in the past but nothing ever seemed to sink in Paul works with me and my brain in a way no one has been able to before and it’s all sinking in since learning with Paul.

Sunil was great from start to finish. He taught me from scratch, All the road awareness, all the different signs and road markings, speed limits which helped towards my theory test which i passed with help through Drive Johnsons. I passed in about 3 month worth of lesson. Cheers Sunil

Brought back my confidence after previous instructors and brought quick progress from my first lesson.

Absolutely fantastic driving instructor, after a lot of tests my nerves got really bad but Paul helped me overcome this and now I have finally passed my test I could not recommend a better instructor truly fantastic ??

Paul is an fantastic driving instructor who helped me pass my test on the first attempt, starting from very little experience. He was incredibly patient, explained everything clearly, and provided helpful resources that made learning much easier. I really enjoyed my lessons, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a supportive and knowledgeable instructor!

Sunil is a fantastic driving instructor and all round nice person. His individual teaching was tailored and measured to my needs enabling me to pass my driving test first time. Would highly recommend his reliable service . Thank you !

Sunil was the most amazing driving instructor. As a learner driver that was new to Leicester I was incredibly anxious about the test and driving in general - Sunil was amazing and helped to ease my worries and helped me pass and feel confident driving!

Paul is an amazing driving instructor! He is very patient, clear and makes me feel very relaxed behind the wheel. He has a good sense of humour and he's very good at staying calm + keeping me calm when I panic. I'm so happy he's now my instructor as I never had this experience from the last.

Massive thanks for sunil helping me get test ready and pass first time! Always had a great chat with him during the lessons and he made it engaging. Every time I slipped up he always made sure that I pick up on my mistakes whilst also making it fun and informative so I brush up and remember important pointers ready for the big test day.

Would definitely recommend him as a driving instructor, very welcoming and encouraging down to the very end. 10/10 !

He is the best at making you get the right track towards your achievements.
He will make get positive goals towards success.
Inshort he is best to learn with.

Paul is an excellent all-round driving instructor who has been fundamental in helping me understand all principles of driving thus enabling to acquire the skills to pass my test. He is able to cater to the strengths and needs of any learner, whilst simultaneously aiding them in overcoming their weaknesses. Throughout my time learning, he continuously showed great levels of enthusiasm and understanding. Whenever a problem arose, he always offered a multitude of solutions which evidently illustrates great knowledge and passion for his profession. Therefore, I highly recommend Paul as an instructor to any learner with any level of experience.

First time pass with Paul!! He's such a patient and calm instructor. I tried a few different instructors before I found Paul and I'm so glad I did. His teaching style is calming, so if you're anxious about getting behind the wheel he is a good choice for you. He always encourages you to be reflective at the end of a lesson, thinking about what went well and what you can focus on to improve next lesson. Paul has really high standards for his students, which was actually such a good thing because he would warn me about lots of smaller errors that perhaps other instructors dont draw attention to and it meant I found the test easy. Never thought I'd say that!! Don't hesitate- get in touch with Paul!

Sunil was a great at helping me adjust to an unfamiliar leicester area. I initially had a lot of experience down in London, but there were some areas of my driving that needed touching up such as my manoeuvres and reference points and Sunil helped out very well with them. Overall, he’s a funny, calm and helpful instructor whom I highly recommend.

There are many types of driving instructor, you can get cubic zirconia or you can get diamond. Paul is a diamond! I took my first step back into driving after an absence of 25 years, extremely nervous and having never really had much confidence in the first place. With low expectations I have learned so many techniques in my first refresher lesson I can’t believe it. I expected to drive round an industrial estate for hours tbh. I have learned how to parallel park, park in a bay at Sainsbury’s and drive in busy traffic in just two hours. I still have some relearning but also learning to do as my past instructors never got me in and out of the car looking at where I’ve just put the car and importantly why and how. I never really understood why some things I did worked and some didn’t, I’m getting to see the theory of it which is what I personally need to feel happier behind the wheel. Paul says he will teach you what you need to learn to drive for life not to get through a driving test and I totally believe it. I only wish he’d been able to teach me those years ago. Certainly does what he says on the tin! And anybody lacking in confidence or skills would benefit from some time with him.

I would like to thank driveJohnsons for all there help. They sent me a great instructor in Sunil, they got me an earlier driving test when I needed it too. Brilliant company - I would definitely recommend.

I was very nervous about starting to drive, but Paul immediately made me feel at ease and has been very patient. He explains things very clearly with reasoning and he very much takes the lessons at the pace the learner is comfortable with. I would highly recommend him!

I had my first lesson with Paul today and it was a great experience. He thoroughly explained what I had to do and even demonstrated it so I had an idea of what to do. I felt calmer once the lesson started and I am looking forward to future lessons

Safe to say, if you're looking for an instructor who is patient and understanding, Paul is the one. I had a great first driving lesson today and it couldn't have gone better, he is very supportive and always explains exactly what he is doing thoroughly and if you don't understand anything, he will always make sure you do, highly recommended :)

Had my 1st lesson today with Paul absolutely brilliant! Couldn’t ask for a better instructor never even been behind the wheel of a car until today and he made me feel completely comfortable being behind the wheel can’t wait for my next lesson with him ?

Paul is good instructor he makes you understand everything at all the time and also he makes you feel comfortable and relaxed when things get hard at the wheels I really enjoy taking my lessons with him as I learn more every lesson thanks Paul

It was my first lesson back after a year out, driving in an auto car for the first time and I was made to feel completely at ease. Paul explained everything that was going on and what was to happen, pushed me through my comfort zone and made it such a comfortable experience!

Enjoyed my first lesson after 30 years. Friendly, patient instructor. Would definitely recommend if you feel nervous like I did

I truly appreciate your professionalism and the way you tailored the lessons to my needs. Your guidance has given me the confidence I needed to drive safely and independently.

A really good instructor and will help you no matter how bad you drive or anything and he also explains it in detail on what he says

Great Instructor

After a month away from driving,i felt really assured after taking driving lessons with Paul.

I really wanted to know where i am with my driving and the kind of progress i had made and that was made very clear to me. Great instructor, explains everything well as well as being very supportive when u encounter obstacles. Would definitely recommend to anyone!

Pauls great, as nervous as was getting behind a wheel paul soon made it seem like easy learning! His calm manor made me feel alot at ease! With many tatics to learn about driving paul makes it easy with his style of learning
I always look forward to the next lesson

Sunil was an amazing instructor. He helped me so much and was polite and provided encouragement when I needed aswell as showing lots of patience.He taught me how to drive safely.I’ve now passed my test first try and am very grateful to Sunil. I highly recommend him to people.

With being an older learner I didn't how many lessons I would need but my instructor Sunil Assessed me and gave me accurate estimation which was right and I needed about 30 hours. I passed after 30 hours with great thanks to Sunil.

Had my first driving lesson with Paul today! What I like most was how Paul explained things clearly and put me at ease! Would definitely recommend to any new learner drivers or to anyone having refresh lessons!

Thank You Paul!

Sunil is the best driving instructor that I could ever ask for, he’s calm and super friendly. He’s helped me passed my driving test on the first try and honestly without him, I probably would have failed. I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor than him. Thank you very much for taking the time to teach and guide me !

I started my driving lessons with Pual from August. I have just past my test on Friday on my first attempt.Pual is a very reliable instructor, he always points out all my mistakes through my driving at the same time he gives me the confidence I need too. I highly recommend Pual to be your next driving instructor.

Paul is an excellent driving instructor from a mums point of view. Paul is very proffessional, he put my son at total ease whilst remaining professional and very polite at all times. Paul is always prompt and very good with communications. My son passed today, thanks to Paul, highly recommend Paul you will not be disappointed or let down.

I used Paul Reilly with Drive Johnson’s. Having previously had lessons outside the company, coming to drive Johnson’s was definitely for the better! From no experience with cars whatsoever, I now feel comfortable behind the wheel and passes my test first time. Paul is a great instructor, professional and tailors your learning to suit you. I would recommend Drive Johnson’s and Paul Reilly!

Amazing instructor, anyone who chooses to learn with Paul will not regret it,would highly recommend to anyone,weather it be improving your driving or learning to drive, Paul is the man for the job!

I am very grateful for Paul for his support for me as a learner , he is a brilliant enthusiastic instructor , l failed my test before with a different and since my first lesson with him my confidence has increased day by day , and l felt that l am safe driver , today l passed my test with clean sheet ZERO minors !! And it’s All thanks to Paul if you want to pass you driving test , be a safe driver .. l would HIGHLY recommend Paul.. thank you ?

Sunil is an incredible driving instructor. I passed today all thanks to Sunil ! , And Sunil is a wonderful teacher and is very focused and patient and knows how to explain everything well so that it's easy to understand and remember. The lessons were very well planned and structured, all my mistakes pointed out and corrected effectively. He managed to remember each of the skills we practiced in previous lessons and knew what was important to focus on. Overall I'm very grateful and would recommend Sunil to everyone learning how to drive! With Sunil as instructor, you will surely succeed and be safe on the road. I have no words how Grateful I am !

I had my first lesson and i found him really patient, informative, friendly and smart. He explains everything logically and spots quickly where you are struggling. He corrects your mistake nicely without making you anxious and explains you of the rules you should respect even if you make the same mistake several times. Definitely recommended for everyone.

Great Instructor! Passed first time round and couldn’t be happier with the service he provides. Very infomative and was great every lesson. I would recommend to anyone.

I passed first time with Sunil. He is so calm and collected, he always choses the right time to explain how to fix a mistake you’ve made. We got along well from the first lesson - I couldn’t have picked a better driving instructor!

Amazing driving instructor, Paul got to know me, and how I learn best in a way that wasn't forceful and me ease up.
After a few driving instructors bailed out, mostly through constant lesson cancellations, Paul was overall very clear and thorough in his messages and procedures.
Paul was very strategic and very well planned when it comes to the lessons and also has great patience and is amazing at explaining what you need to be doing and WHY you need to be doing it in whichever way.
Happy to say I passed 2nd time at Cannock St with 8 minors.

I passed my test. I really thanks for Paul guiding. He is an excellent driving instructor. He’s very professional, patience and he taught me a lot of useful knowledge of driving. I am highly recommended to anyone who needs a professional and amazing driving instructor.

I started with paul from scratch. I didn't have the first idea about driving. I failed twice due to nerves but passed third time with zero faults. Paul was a massive help. Not only did he fit in extra sessions but he helped me believe in myself. So thankful.

Had an amzing first lesson with Paul. He made me feel completely relaxed and comfortable. Great teacher. Cery recommended.

Paul is a great driving instructor, after having my first lesson with a new instructor since 7 years ago i feel like im learning at a pace that tests my driving skills to better them. Paul is better than other instructors ive had and utilises the time i have on lessons so i feel like i get the most of my lessons. Very friendly and encouraging, looking forward to my next lesson :) would highly recommend

Paul is a great instructor who makes you feel at ease from the start. I was a bit anxious when I started my lessons but with his calm attitude after a couple of lessons i felt so much more confident. Would highly recommend! Passed my test with 3 minors today!!

Test tip of the month for Wigston

It’s common when turning left at a blind T-junction to look right and only look left when the car goes into a new road. You will often get away with this, but now and again, something will be there, like a parked car or a pedestrian about to walk out. On your test, you’ll fail, and in real life, you’ll have a severe accident. Be sure to do the minimum observations for T-junctions: right, left, right and then look into the road before you emerge into it!

Useful driving test tip for Wigston

When approaching a no entry sign, expect the examiner to say nothing unless there is more than one option on where to go. As you approach the no entry, the examiner will be ready to brake you if you aren’t slowing down and look as though you will miss the no entry. If you notice their foot or leg moving slightly, you possibly have 1-2 seconds to go in the correct direction before they use the dual controls.

Frequently Asked Questions

How will you make sure I get the most out of every lesson?

Each of your driving lessons in Wigston will be tailored to your driving requirements, especially if you start lessons with our 2-hour assessment. Lessons will begin on on roads like Durnford Road, which is long, wide and fairly quiet. Roads like this are the perfect place to pick up the basic driving skills like moving off, bringing the car to a stop, making right and left turns and stopping at and emerging at T-junctions. Wide roads are great for practising manoeuvres on.

What sort of roads will I be driving on during my lessons?

When you take your driving test in Wigston, it's likely you'll cover a range of different road types, considering the town is on the outskirts of Leicester. You'll most likely have to deal with both rural (country) roads like Countesthorpe Road and urban (town) roads like the A6 Glen Road and A563 Southfields Drive. Your driving instructor will cover all of these roads, ensuring you're adequately prepared for your big driving test day.
