About driveJohnson's Sunderland
driveJohnson's is a driving school based in the North East with instructors covering Sunderland and the surrounding areas. Its local team includes instructors graded A in the DVSA standards check, and it teaches in both manual and automatic cars. Learners can choose between manual and automatic tuition, and the school matches them with a local instructor.
The school publishes recent local test passes on its Sunderland page, and its automatic instructors are observed by the school twice a year in addition to the DVSA's own standards checks. Bookings and price enquiries go through its website or phone line, and practical tests for the area are taken at the River Bank Road centre. As with any school, check that your instructor's green ADI badge is displayed on the windscreen at your first lesson.
