I am so happy to have passed my driving test and thanks to Mathias help I am now a confident driver and can drive to uni when it starts!

Better than I could have asked, great teaching style with great techniques when it came to acing my manoeuvres.

Fantastic teacher who alwas put me first and came with detailed lessons plans. Thank you for all of your help Mathias and I will recommend you to anyone.

Kunj is a fantastic driving instructor who really knows what he's talking about. He puts in a good shift during your lessons to ensure you pick things up and properly understand them. I passed first time thanks to him.

INcredibly friendly and the best person that you could ask to teach you.

I lost my licence two years ago but after just 5 hours of lessons Chris got me up to scratch and ready for my test again.

So grateful that Chris went above and beyond to ensure that I passed my test. He is competent, a great teacher and friendly instructor. The best!

Amazing instructor and the best teacher I have ever had!

Drivejohnsons are on to a winner by having Kunj as an instructor! He is a great teacher and can help you master driving in as little as 18 hours!

Thank you for helping me pass after just 15 hours, now I can go and buy my own car!

Test Tip Of The Month For Croydon

Should you always signal before moving away from the side of the road? Should you always signal for pulling up by the side of the road? On your test, you may be nervous and not think straight. If this is the case, you should signal if you are in doubt.

Useful Driving Test Tip For Croydon

If you are doing a manoeuvre and you get too close to the kerb, don’t panic! Firstly, stop so you can assess your position better by looking in the door mirrors. The next thing you will need to do is take a shunt forwards to create some space, so when you go back into reverse you can adjust the steering sooner. Lastly, don’t forget to keep up all round observations throughout the manoeuvre.

Frequently asked questions...

Yes, we do. We have a brilliant team of driving instructors offering driving lessons in Croydon on the weekends as well as weekdays. All of our automatic driving instructors are observed by a company trainer at least twice a year as well as the DVSA’s standards check, so you can trust that their teaching quality is of the highest standard.

Our automatic instructors tend to get booked up quickly, so get in touch as soon as possible to book automatic driving lessons in Croydon and avoid disappointment.

Unfortunately, Croydon doesn’t have a test centre so you will need to consider taking your driving test at either Mitcham, Morden or West Wickham. These are the three closest test centres nearby.

Regarding waiting times, we recommend you check the DVSA website early on Monday mornings, as this is when they release new tests each week. Waiting times have increased since Covid-19. However, the DVSA are actively trying to reduce these waiting times.

This isn't a problem and our driving school in Croydon will always welcome your feedback. All you have to do is call us up and if any money is outstanding put it in writing and we can offer you a refund on the remaining lessons or pair you with another one of our driving instructors in Croydon. It’s extremely rare a pupil asks to change instructors with us, but we do understand you can’t please everyone, so we will always do our best to find you an instructor you will like and get along with.

Yes, we have instructors offering driving lessons in London in many areas. We also offer driving lessons in Sutton, Thornton Heath, Streatham, Tooting and many more of the surrounding areas.
