Getting to learn to drive is something I have always wanted to learn. I am so happy that I learned with Mali as I was able to pass faster than I even expected.

I had an amazing time learning with driveJohnson's and Krasimir. Thanks to him I have passed my test and can now go and get my car!

Best driving instructor i’ve had! Without Mali i wouldn’t of passed my test, highly recommend x

I am so glad that I passed first time with only four minors. Krasimir is an incredible instructor, and I am so happy that drivejohnsons gave me him as my instructor.

Krasimir is a fantastic instructor, and I was overjoyed when I passed first-time thanks to him.

Mali is the best instructor around and I would recommend her to anyone!

I was super nervous to begin my driving lessons, but thanks to Krasimir, my lessons were straightforward to follow.

It was great to learn to drive with Krasimir. He gave me a great plan on how to tackle my test, and thanks to him, I passed the first time.

I am so happy that I have passed my driving test, and I am so excited to now be hitting the open road! Thank you for all of your help Krasimir.

Passed first time with Mali, she was very patient and a great teacher! I highly recommend

Test Tip Of The Month For Maidstone

Maidstone DTC (driving test centre) has a narrow two-way system entrance and a one-way system in the car park. As you are leaving DTC to start your test, you may be little bit nervous at the beginning and it’s easy to position yourself incorrectly as emerging to the right. Examiners are explaining the one-way rule in the car park due to lack of any road signs, however, under the pressure it’s easy to forget about it on the way out. So please remember to drive slowly using 1st gear on the way in and out of the DTC, keeping well to the left under the arch as it is a two-way road. You can position yourself in the middle of the travelling path inside the car park.

Useful Driving Test Tip For Maidstone

You have a 1 in 4 chance of being asked to do the emergency stop. If you are asked to do this, the examiner will explain this to you when the car is stationary. You will most likely notice your examiner looking over their shoulder when the car is moving. This is to double-check it’s safe, so be ready. When they look over their shoulder, they are about to ask you to stop!

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes we have both manual and automatic driving instructors in Maidstone. We have options to suit every preference. If you would prefer to have automatic driving lessons in Maidstone, please let us know and we can accommodate this.

Yes we have instructors providing driving lessons in many of the surrounding areas of Maidstone. We provide driving lessons in Aylesford, Bearsted, Detling, Weavering, Boxley, Friningham, Thurnham and Westfield Sole to name a few.

At driveJohnson's, we go the extra mile to support our learners both in and out of lessons. We believe that the key to passing fast and first time is doing what you can outside of practical lessons to give yourself a boost and continue learning. The last thing you want is to have a week between lessons and forget what you've been taught, this will only set you back and end up costing you more money.

We provide our pupils with the resources they need to continue their learning outside of lessons. Each pupil is given a driving manual with expert driving tips and advice, as well as access to theory training and access to the driveJohnson's app which has tons of content to help further your driving knowledge and get you ready for your test.

It's hard to say how many hours you're likely to need to pass your driving test as this number varies for each learner. On average last year, pupils learning to drive with us passed after 26 hours of lessons, however, you may need less or more hours than this depending on your ability and previous experience. After your first lesson, your driving instructor will be able to give you a rough estimation of how many driving lessons you need to pass your test.

With a 93.4% first time pass rate in Maidstone, we believe we can help virtually any pupil pass their driving test with us. We have experienced, local, dvsa approved driving instructors available who teach the driveJohnson's way, helping you to pass safely and quickly, saving you money in the long run.

Beginners will be taught at a pace that suits them, starting in some of the quieter areas of Maidstone such as Weavering, Sandling, Allington and Downswood etc. It should only take our instructor 5-10 minutes to find suitable places to start you on the nursery roads (we think Shepherds Gate Drive is a great starting point).

Partly trained or have a test coming up? Don't worry - Our instructors won't waste any time, as soon as you have perfected your manoeuvres and have built great judgement skills on your junctions and roundabouts, they will get you practising the Maidstone test routes all in time to pass your driving test 1st time with us.

Start your driving lessons in Maidstone with us today and give yourself the best possible chances of passing first time.
