I can’t speak highly enough of Paul. When I started my lessons with him, he understood that I could become quite nervous in some situations. With his help and guidance he identified coping mechanisms to help me keep these nerves under control, and boost my confidence which then helped me to become a better driver. He also explained processes to me in an extremely clear and comprehensive way, and this was definitely a massive help. In addition, he was very accommodating with me and my work hours. I passed first time and this was all down to the thorough guidance Paul provided and the confidence he instilled in me.

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??

Paul is an amazing driving instructor very reassuring and calming as a nervous learner. Easy to talk to and helped pass first time with just 5 minors despite being a bag of nerves

Im so glad I came across this company from start to finish Sunil was a great help. I did a lot of lessons over the passed few years and new I had to pull my finger out. Came across Drive Johnsons which Sunil helped me through out and I FINALLY passed my practical test in Leicester. I am one happy women right now.

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 !

I finally passed my test and all the credits go to Paul!! He's honestly an informative, patient, calm and encouraging instructor who really gives 100% in teaching his lessons. Would definitely recommend!

Before Paul I had no confidence when it came driving, I have serious anxiety and could barely move a vehicle. Within 3 months he help me to gain confidence and today I passed my test first time with only 4 faults.
Highly recommended

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!

Had a fantastic first lesson with Paul. I am generally a nervous person, but Paul seemed to know exactly how to make my first lesson feel as comfortable as possible for myself. I've driven before with 2 prior instructors, but never have I driven as confident and as comfortable as I had just been with Paul. He is very thorough and very helpful in his approach.

Paul was great with my son who was very nervous and like many teenagers - often monosyllabic! Kept us updated with relevant info and always responded to queries

Paul is a fantastic instructor and I cant thank him enough for helping me pass in first attempt! He was extremely calm and patient with me throughout the training period, provided me the right guidance and inputs. He helped me manage my nerves and to remain confident. I would define recommend Paul if you looking for someone who will provide you the right inputs and set you up for success!

A very good instructor, calm and very friendly, helped me get my license with just one mistake. Thanks again Sunil??

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.

Booked a driving lesson with Paul ... not knowing anything about him or how the lesson was going to go on ... but as soon as I stepped into the car everything went better than hoped and I actually managed to know where I am in terms of progress and how many lessons I'll need to pass ... great instructor and advisor all in one !

Sunil made sure that I covered everything required during the lessons, while keeping it simple and relaxed.
The mock test was very helpful too.
Finally, the car was very comfortable.

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!

Paul is fantastic! I was a super nervous driver having failed before. Paul helped me get my confidence back and I managed to pass with only three minors. He’s a great person to get along with and he teaches you great driving techniques for all the tricky parts of the test.

Without doubt the best driving instructor I have had. Paul actually cares and wants people to do well. If you are ready to take a test he will tell you and not make you do extra to take money from you. I had failed my driving test 5 times previously but with Paul I passed in one go and only taking about 10 lessons maximum. If you are a nervous or not so confident driver(due to my numerous test failings) Paul will get you through. I have no doubts about it!

Yesterday we had 1st lesson ?Paul is really knows his job, he is very patient and will explain you as many times as you need. Can't wait for next lesson ?

Excellent session, Accurate learning process to enable get your full uk license in good time. Very knowledgeable instructor with loads of experience.

Had my first lesson today, Paul made me feel comfortable and at ease and I really enjoyed the lesson. I will recommend him to everyone especially newbies or people who are a bit nervous about driving. Thanks Paul!

Sunil was an amazing instructor, helping me to pass first time and feel confident driving. He was great fun to spend time with and I honestly cannot recommend learning with him enough.

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!

Excellent instructor, first lesson today and learnt a whole lot of new things that will contribute to perfecting my driving.
Can’t wsit for my future lessons

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.

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!

Paul is a fab instructor, he is great for when your nervous, and is a really friendly guy. Personally so happy to have passed first time, and so gratefully to him!!! Thank you Paul!

I can't thank Sunil enough for his huge support and his dedication.I would highly recommend him as a driving instructor!
I was a very nervous driver and he put me at total ease and helped build my confidence.
Thanks a million ,I couldn't have done it without you....Thanx once again

An friendly and amazing instructor with a lot experience and great teaching 🫡

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!

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.

An amazing driver instructor helped a lot with learning to drive and helped with confidence and to keep calm reliable and helps to work around people with work and collage would definitely recommend and thank you for helping me pass first time

Paul helps you build your confidence with driving and is always very helpful and patient.

I recently had my first driving lesson with Paul, and he was fantastic. He was able to keep me calm during moments of hesitation, and his explanations of manoeuvres are clear and concise without being condescending.
Thank you for a great first lesson, Paul.

Paul is a great instructor! He is able to teach lessons tailored to you and how you learn which is very helpful. He keeps you calm in the car and is very clear with his explanations which is very helpful and appreciated with a first time driver! The level of safety he goes to not only for those in the car, but for pedestrians etc, is one of a kind and something very few of my friends have found in their other instructors, this makes you feel even more safe in the car. Would definitely recommend to others!

5 stars for Paul Amazing Guy Highly Recommended

I've had a couple of driving lessons with Paul now and it's safe to say he's fantastic! I'm quite a nervous driver and he makes me feel comfortable when I'm driving and is extremely helpful and doesn't mind when I ask 10 tonne of stupid questions! Best driving instructor ever! Thank you for putting up with my driving ☺️

i have my first ever lesson with paul to day and i felt Glad i cud learn a lot from paul and i felt comfortable and relaxed. around him i had nothink to worry about

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

I had my first lesson with paul last weekend and was absolutely terrified... he put me completely at ease and helped me with everything at my own pace, i felt i was at my rate of learning and it was ok to make a mistake... looking forward to continuing my lessons with paul and hopefully we will see a pass sheet before we know it :)

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 a great instructor who calms nerves and has varied approaches to teaching depending upon your personal preferred learning style. He explains everything thoroughly and is willing to answer any question at any time. I look forward to future lessons, thanks

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.

Really good teacher! Passed first time with him! Definitely would recommend!

Today I had my first driving lesson with Paul and it was amazing! He was very calm and helped to explain aspects of driving that I didn’t know or understand at all before the lesson. I felt very comfortable and confident driving with him although I’ve heard little to no experience and I would definitely recommend him!

Brilliant instructor. Easy to work with. Helped me massively with building my skills and confidence on the roads. Could not have had a better instructor.

Ive just had my first lesson with drive Johnsons yesterday and i am glad to say i am really pleased with paul reilly he is so easy to get on with and is a grate teacher, ive had trouble in the past with a different company but now i have a really good feeling about this one as paul reilly seems to be the teacher for me :) i would definitely recommend! Thanks paul look forward to seeing you soon.

I really enjoyed my 1st lesson with Paul, he made me feel relaxed and at ease, i can't wait for my next lesson, thank you so much Paul

I can't believe I passed my driving test today. With only 1 minor fault too. My instructor was Amaaaaaaaaazzzzzzing!If you want an instructor who is going to push you all the way even when you are struggling the choose Sunil.There was times I wanted to quit when I was struggling with my old instructor but learning with Sunil I never felt like that once.

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.

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.
