Back in 2005 one man and his car 'Anthony Johnson' use to serve the Bedford area for driving lessons.
As you know, when you serve people well they tell their friends/family/work colleagues and as a result the company has naturally grown. Our driving school now have over 400 instructors, of which approximately 15 serve customers in Bedford. The vision remains the same to serve people well and help them pass their driving test as quickly and safely a possible. We have an extremely high pass rate (see website for latest figures)

driveJohnson's Bedford: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Spent a week with instructor Faisal Nadeem who made me feel comfortable with not long to go before my test. He ensured that I was prepared and confident in my abilities. He is very knowledgeable and has a great approach to teaching, would highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: I’m happy as I’m first time learning driving. I’m getting better day by day. I am really thankful to my instructor Aymal Jalal. Being a slow learner he guides me properly at every step of driving. First I was scared but now I’m enjoying it because I recognize my faults and trying to get better by my instructors guidance. Once again thanks a lot…
Fantastic experience: Drive Johnson was great! Jamshed was the most amazing instructor and I would very highly recommend, very calm and kind person, always put me first, built up my confidence massively, always managed to make time for me! Thank you so much 10/10!!
Fantastic experience: Did my lessons with Michelle from Bedford and she helped me pass first time. Very good instructor
Fantastic experience: I completed several lessons with Michelle Jeffrey from Johnson’s driving school and I found it extremely helpful. I enjoyed conversation and Michelle helped me with things I was struggling with in a calm manner. I managed to pass my test confidently after our lessons, I would highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Drivejohnson and my tutor Jamshed was the best thing that happened to me, Jamshed helped me and I am really grateful for his help in helping me get my drivers license
Fantastic experience: Aymal is very professional, very patient and helpful. His ultimate goal is to make sure as Lerner you succeed and pass your driving test safely. Always on time and ready to encourage you when you are feeling a bit nervous but he makes you feel comfortable while driving.
Fantastic experience: It was really easy getting a driver instructor who is Aymal. A great experience and I enjoy the lessons
Fantastic experience: I learnt to drive with Michelle, in Bedfordshire. She was very patient with me throughout my time learning to drive and picked up the way I learnt which really helped me!
Fantastic experience: During my driving lesson with Michelle Jeffery of Drive Johnson’s Bedford, it was really a wonderful experience. She was patient, friendly, and very professional in her approach. Michelle explained everything clearly, built my confidence behind the wheel, and made me feel comfortable throughout the lesson. Her calm and supportive teaching style helped me to understand not just how to drive, but also how to drive safely and responsibly. I would highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and encouraging instructor.
Fantastic experience: Michelle's lessons were very good, she was very helpful and patient with me when I didnt understand things straight away and would find different ways to help me learn, and would tailor my lessons to prioritise my weaknesses, very friendly and we had alot of conversation whilst driving which put me at ease whilst learning. Michelle really helped me throughout learning to drive, where I passed first time. I would highly recommend
Fantastic experience: michelle was a great instructor and helped me to pass first time on my driving test! her directions and instructions were always very clear and easy to understand, would defintely recommend to all new drivers
Fantastic experience: I had Michelle as my instructor until february 2025 when i passed my test. I was a very nervous driver, and hadn’t had the best previous experiences with instructors or with learning to drive in general. Michelle completely changed it all for me and gave me the confidence i needed and the ability to drive properly, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience or instructor and i would recommend Michelle to anyone!
Fantastic experience: I recently passed my driving test at the Bedford test centre with Drive Johnson’s, and my instructor was Mr. Sanjeev Kumar. I started my lessons with him about a year ago while waiting for my test date. Initially, I felt it would be too difficult because I was extremely nervous, but Mr. Sanjeev Kumar was incredibly patient and kind. His professionalism and calm approach made learning to drive much easier for me. From the very first few lessons, he helped me manage my stress and anxiety. He consistently provided clear and accurate instructions. I was his student last year and he said I am ready for the test when he was working as a driving instructor last year .I contacted him 2weeks ago as presently he is not in instruction business but he helped and supported me personally coming out of his business .I am really thankful for him and wish him all the best and see him working as a driving instructor soon. Thank you to Sanjeev Kumar and Drive Johnson’s.
Negative experience: Mohammad was very unprofessional which is a shame as it started off very well. He would cancel fairly regularly without any explanation or letting me know prior. Mohammad would come to lessons late and would finish off early which resulted in lessons being 1hr and 15 mins rather than 90 mins. He would conduct phone calls during our sessions, arguing with drive Johnson’s admin team. Would definitely not recommend.
Fantastic experience: Passed first time!! Sukhi my instructor was brilliant ! I highly recommend drivejohnsons to anyone.
Fantastic experience: Passed 1st time with Drivejohnson's with my instructor Isaac. He was absolutely fantastic, honestly one of the best instructors out there in my opinion. He teaches amazingly, I feel very lucky to have met him. Highly, highly recommend this company, and moreso, this instructor if you get the opportunity to.
Fantastic experience: Great service from Isaac helped me pass my driving test and with flying colours would recommend him to anyone just starting
Fantastic experience: I had a great instructor who was very knowledgeable but always very kind and made me fell comfortable when I was doing lessons. I passed first time with only two minors so massive thanks to my instructor Isaac.
Fantastic experience: Had Keith as my driving instructor very knowledgeable instructor and made me pass first time would definitely recommend
Fantastic experience: My instructor was Laura and she was a massive help, very patient and reassuring, which made me far more relaxed for my lessons and made me feel less stressed, couldn’t recommend a better driving instructor
Fantastic experience: Passed first time in Bedford with Isaac! I was a very nervous driver with a lot of gaps in my knowledge but Isaac is extremely patient and methodical. I'm now able to enjoy driving again and to be confident in my decision making, knowing I'm driving safely and able to deal with anything that happens on the roads. Would 100% recommend to anyone!
Fantastic experience: Isaac helped me past first time with 0 minors.
Fantastic experience: Isaacs a great instructor, he was very patient with me and was very detailed in his teaching, you don’t really need anything else besides that really. I passed my test after a short time with him and I honestly couldn’t have done so without him. Thanks Isaac.
Fantastic experience: I have been supported with various driving instructors however i changed over to Madhit Dhesi at Drive Johnsons Bedford. After a 2 hour lesson, I had learned more than I had with all of my other instructors and hours of lessons. I have since passed my test successfully for the first time since changing instructor. She was friendly and supportive throughout and I would fully recommend her services.
Negative experience: Absolute time wasters! And don’t even have the decency to reply wasted a whole week of mine waiting for them avoid at all costs would give zero stars if I could what a horrid and awful customer service atleast reply but no all they care about is money find someone better don’t waste your coins on these lot
Negative experience: Prepare to be treated like a piece of you know what if you go with this company
Negative experience: The worst driving instructor worst driving school. Stay away don't waste your money.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Rabia in Bedford, she was a great instructor really put me at ease and made learning to drive easy!
