Richard in Andover is the best instructor I have ever had. After using other schools and other instructors I thought maybe driving was not for me but Richard has really helped me to progress and I passed yesterday

I had an incredible experience learning to drive with Richard. He is super friendly and a fantastic instructor.

Michael is an amazing isntructor and if it wasn't for his teaching style I wouldn't have been able to pass first time and with such confidence ??

Just went and passed my test first time this morning with only 3 minor faults, Richard Wilson is the man if you're looking to pass fast. Such an easy going and patient guy. I had no stress or issues getting through my driving with him!

I am so glad that I have finally passed my test, and I couldn't have done it without Richard's help.

I would 100% recommend Richard Wilson as a driving instructor. He is such a sound guy, I had no problems throughout the course of learning to drive. He was always in such a good mood and made learning to drive such a fun experience, (even on the harder days). I passed my test first time with him and only got 5 minor faults!!

I had to pass qickly and thanks to Michael in Salisbury i passed first time with ease. Thank you so much for all your help

I loved learning with Richard as he was such a great instructor who always turned up on time and with a new challenge in every lesson.

I was nervous drive until I came to Michael,He helped calm my nervous and in the end I passed my driving test with 2 minor faults. Michael helped me overcome all of my fears.

I started as a very nervous pupil, my instructor instantly settled my nerves and was really reassuring and friendly. my lessons were always fun. He was patient and always took the time to expain things and answer any questions i had, i was never made to feel silly with anything i didnt understand. great instructor and i passed first time with only 3 minors.

I had a really bad past experience with another company which caused a delay in re starting my lessons. i explained this to drivejohnsons over the phone and they were so helpful and listened to my needs. i was placed with my instructor who was fantastic. i progressed quickly and passed first time. highly recommend.

I had a really amazing experience learning to drive with Richard Wilson, my cousin actually recommended him to me and said he would be great for me as I struggled with nerves and anxiety. He was so patient and understanding and got me all the way through my test with no issues whatsoever. I passed first time with only 6 minors. I was over the moon.

Michael is a fantastic instructor and I can't wait to recommend him to everyone who needs to pass with confidence.

Thank you for Richard Wilson for helping me pass first time, I will miss our lessons!

I had a great experience with Richard, especially as I came from a driving school that was less than helpful with cancellations and overcharging. However, when I moved to driveJohnson's and Richard, my whole outlook of driving changed, and I can now say I am a confident driver, and I even passed on my first attempt.

Richard, you are the best instructor out there, and I am so happy to now go and buy my own car.

Richard, you are a great person, an amazing instructor and fantastic at teaching, by far the best around!

I passed my test this morning with Michael who was brilliant. He was so kind and so accommodating. Thank you for everything.

I had an outstanding experience from the first call about driving lessons all the way through to the day of my test. Thank you, driveJohnson's and Michael for all of your help!

Best learning experience by far! Great tuition, great mentor, great price. Considering I have never driven before my instructor helped me smash my test.

I was terrified to take my test, but I am so glad I was with Richard as he kept me calm and confident from the start of my lessons until my test.

It feels amazing to now be able to drive, and I am so pleased that I passed with only four minors.

If you need to pass fast, make sure you learn with Richard as he is a great instructor and a great person.

Best instructor around and if it wasn't for him I would still be taking the bus ?

I had a great time learing with Michael in Salisbury. He made me feel at ease and it was all beacuse he spoke to me about our interest on our lesson especialy football.

It was great to learn with Michael and he is the best instructor in Salisbury by far.

I cannot thank Richard Wilson enough, I failed my test with a previous driving school 3 times! I had 10hrs worth of lessons with Richard and pass first time??? So relieved to finally have it out the way, thanks so much to Richard. I would definitely recommend him to others!

I needed to pass fast, and thanks to Richard, I was able to pass even quicker than I expected. Thank you so much for your help, Richard.

I had a great experience learning to drive with Michael! He is an incredible instructor, and he is super friendly and great at building confidence.

I have always wanted to pass my driving test, and I am so happy that I can now go and buy a car. Thank you for all of your help and wisdom, Michael!

I previously done an intensive course with a company and I failed miserably. My confidence was so low, I decided to quit learning to drive.
My close friends told me to use their instructor - Richard, so I did.
He was amazing, he really got my confidence up and made learning to drive fun again. I would deffo recommend learning with him. I passed first time with Richard with just 2 minor faults.

Michael is a great instructor and he is a great member of the the drive johnsons team in Salisbury.

Michael who helped me pass my test was very experienced which definitely shows. I had lessons in another country and then came to the U after driving abroad so luckily I didn’t need that many. Thank you Michael who helped me achieve my goals.

Passing my test felt terrific, and it is all thanks to Michael Taylor. He is a fantastic instructor and by far the best instructor around.

I did an intensive course with Richard Wilson, he made learning to drive a really good experience for me. I had struggled learning with a previous instructor about 18 months ago and I did give up. I am glad I found Richard because he got me through my test in no time!!

Michael is the best instructor in Salisbury and he is the go-to instructor for anyone who wants to pass.

Best person to learn with and being paired with Michael by the Drivejohnsons team was the best thing that happened in my driving journey.?

I had a great time learning to drive with Michael at drive johnson's as he is a great teacher and makes it super easy to understand the complex manoeuvers.

I had about 15 hours worth of lessons with a previous driving school, instead of feeling like I was learning something new and fun, I would dread my next lesson from the minute my last one finished. I knew once the 15 hours were complete I would not return for more.
One of my friends recommended Richard Wilson, so I thought I'd give it a go. I just wish I had found him sooner, the lessons were so much better and I did not feel under so much pressure. I passed my test first time with only 4 minor faults.

Shout out to Richard Wilson, he was ace! I passed first time with one minor! What a guy.

I was previously learning with another driving school and I was under so much pressure by my instructor to pass as soon as possible. I knew I wasn't test ready, yet he still urged me to go for my test. it was awful, I failed and failed bad! I started to look around for another instructor and came across Richard Wilson, he was a game changer, the lessons flowed so much better, I felt so much more confident by the end of it, and I passed with only 4 minors. I'd deffo recommend him!

Very good and thorough lessons, had me pass my test the first time round. Was always patient and supportive making lessons a fun and relaxed experience. 10/10

Useful driving test tip for Winchester

Take your time on your manoeuvre so you can keep your head moving around in all directions. If you see anything coming towards you be prepared to stop; remember it’s their priority. If you stop, don’t forget to look all around you before you start moving again. Lastly, don’t stare in the door mirrors. You can glance in them quickly only to see where you are and what you need to do with your direction.

Frequently asked questions...

Where will I be driving during my driving lessons in Winchester?

During your driving lessons in Winchester, you will be driving on a wide variety of roads, beginning your lessons on quiet residential streets or industrial areas. Once you're confident and ready, you will move onto busier roads such as the A34.

Depending on whether you have 1 or 2-hour lessons, your driving instructor may take you for some driving lessons in Southampton to get you used to driving in a busy city. Your driving instructor will also show you the test routes for your driving test centre in Winchester.

What happens during my first driving lesson?

On your first driving lesson in Winchester, your driving instructor will ask about your previous experience. If you have not had any previous lessons, that is fine as many people have not had any previous experience. During this chat, your driving instructor will also go over the basics of the car, and they will do an eyesight check and check your provisional licence.

Once this is done, your instructor will then begin your driving lesson in a quiet area. They will cover moving off and stopping, clutch control, the different pedals and how to steer. You will always begin in a quiet area away from cars and other road users to learn at your own pace.
