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.

Top driving instructor. I had a fabulous driving lesson today with Paul. He made me feel very confident whilst driving. I highly recommend him. Thank you so much.

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.

A big thank you to Sunil (DriveJohnson’s ). He really helped me with my driving and I passed my test. He is very patient, understanding and a wonderful instructor. He explained the rules very well and gave me confidence to drive safely. He was very punctual and professional and his instructions were very clear. I highly recommend Sunil as an instructor. He’s the best driving instructor about and if you’re looking for someone reliable and looking to pass your driving test then he’s the man for the job. Thank you so much Sunil, I really appreciate all the help you have provided for me.

I have really bad anxiety and i felt great driving with paul from drive johnsons would highly recommend

Sunil is an amazing instructor. Always had confidence in me when I didn’t have any myself. He didn’t have any doubts in me passing my test first time and I did pass first time. I have and would definitely recommend Sunil to anyone wanting to drive. I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor!

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 !

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

Paul is a very professional driving instructor. I was very happy with him on my first lesson. I felt very comfortable and relaxed, as he stayed calm and patient throughout the whole lesson. Paul explained methods and the whole concept of driving, unlike any other instructors I've had in the past. I was a very satisfied learner who is looking forward to working with him. I would definitely recommend him!

First lesson with Paul tonight, my 3rd instructor very professional and great from start to finish. Fingers crossed his the one to get me driving So much information and knowledge.

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.

Great instructor!

He keeps your confidence in driving up and teaches you little bits that help you keep your cool!
Would recommend to anyone and everyone

Good instructor with knowledge. I like when i get in the car and tell me to talk him through what I'm doing. I have to make sure that car is secured before setting mirrors it is a fan to learn with Paul.I believe anyone learn with Paul will became good drivers. I realy recommend Paul to anyone

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.

Had my first session with Paul today and it went very well , the lesson went smoothly I felt really comfortable . I’m very confident that I’m going to have a chance ay passing my test in time .

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.

He’s an amazing instructor who put me at ease immediately. Helped me gain confidence and took everything at my pace. Really relaxed person who you can have a proper conversation with too!

Had my 1st lesson today in the auto, had previously had a few manual lessons years ago. Paul made me feel comfortable and like I could do it. I was more happy and confident than in my previous lessons. More positive now that I can become a driver!

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 ?

Great driving Instructor, would definitely recommend this guy

I was recommended Drive Johnsons through a few of my friends who have gone with yourselves. Sunil definitely met my expectations. His car was great and I really got on with Sunil himself. Thank you Sunil for helping me through everything.

Paul is an extremely professional, patient, empathic and friendly instructor. I had my first lesson with him today and his way of teaching made me feel very calm but confident at the same time . He gave constructive feedback throughout the lesson and then asked me what i'd like to cover on the next lesson. Cant recommend Paul enough!

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!

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.

I had my first driving lesson with Paul Reilly today & it was so much fun. I thoroughly enjoyed it! I have never been in a drivers seat before, let alone drove a car - so I was very new to driving. As it was my first driving lesson, I didn’t know what to expect, I didn’t ever think I would be driving a car, especially on my first lesson. Yet, I was driving around - I learnt how to start and stop the car, turn left & right, change gears & reverse into a parking space. This was all possible as I felt so at ease & relaxed with Paul. He’s very reassuring, guiding you the whole journey. I would strongly recommend him to any person learning to drive. :)

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 PASSED FIRST TIME ONE MINOR!! With being such a nervous driver, Paul helped me in so many different ways to get me where I am today, not only did Paul help me with my driving mindset, it’s helped me in my day to day life, with the help of some brilliant apps, books, and genuinely just his support behind the wheel. I’ll never ever forget my experience of learning how to drive. I’ll forever be grateful for all the help and support. The best driving instructor out there!!! Thankyou!!!

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 :)

Paul is a kind and patient person. In my opinion he’s the best instructor I could have. He went over and over the areas I wasn’t so sure about until I had mastered them.

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!

A fantastic driving instructor, Paul was the 2nd instructor my son had for lessons, wished we came across Paul from the start. He was very informative, lessons very well structured with feedback. Pleased to say my son passed first time. If you are looking for an instructor that cares than Paul is definitely that person

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

Paul is an amazing tutor who considers your comfort zones and guides you to get out of them! I felt so anxious and nervous before my lesson but within a few minutes I felt completely relaxed and was excited to learn, all due to having amazing support. Can’t wait for my future lessons!

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

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

Had my first lesson with paul, very comfortable and very informative and highlighted my weakness's really quickly and also started to change those weakness's into strengths very quickly to, excellent lesson from a excellent instructor.....can't wait for the next one..

Sunil's a great teacher! Always nice, calm and provided thorough lessons. He was great at helping fit lessons around my busy university schedule, did an outstanding job helping me get ready for test day and I was able to pass first time!

Thanks Sunil!

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 !

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 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.

Brilliant first lesson. Really happy to have Paul as an instructor, he made me feel confident and comfortable while driving. Would definitely recommend

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 !

Sunil is a truly fantastic instructor, his style of teaching is very calming, putting you at ease from the get go. Learning to drive with Sunny was actually fun, and the only sad thing about passing is not learning with him anymore! Can’t recommend him enough!

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 brilliant instructor that makes you feel calm and confident in your ability making learning fast and easy

I had my first ever lesson with Paul the other day and the amount of progress I achieved was unbelievable, I was only expecting to be doing a few manoeuvres on an empty piece of land somewhere but I did so much more such as parking, turning on a roundabout and driving lots, I had a few nerves at the start but they soon passed when I was in the drivers seat being reassured by Paul, he put me at rest and helped me immensely, I would definitely recommend him to anyone wanting to learn how to drive, especially first timers!

I was incredibly anxious to learn to drive and did not expect to be manouvering around busy roads within the first hour! Paul is a fantastic teacher who made me feel capable and confident, with his calm manner and explaining everything with great clarity. If you are considering driving lessons then I highly recommend that you book a lesson with Paul = ]

As a nervous passenger and even more nervous driver, Paul was patient with me and put me at ease on my first lesson. Would highly recommend! I'm actually excited about progressing and looking forward to another lesson.

I had 1st lesson with Paul, and I didn’t expect to have learnt so much. The stories I’ve heard about driving instructors (in general), how they scream and shout, wasn’t the experience I had. He was calm, clear and very supportive.

Paul is a very professional and understanding driving instructor , l have done a couple of lessons with him ,although l lack confidence in driving and l don’t believe in myself but Paul has boosted it ,l feel good and confident again.

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.
