𝐇𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐚𝐡, 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐲, 𝐏𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝟒𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐮𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐 Congratulations to Hannah from Canterbury, who passed her practical driving test, at Canterbury test centre, at the first attempt with NO DRIVER FAULTS! Hannah was so nervous before her test that she had convinced herself that she was going to fail! Instead the examiner remarked that Hannah's driving was so smooth, so well planned and anticipated that she should consider becoming a chauffeur..!! She can now go car shopping this weekend and no longer have to rely on her boss for lifts to and from work. We wish you the best of luck for your future, from your driving instructor Chris and everyone here at John Harvey Driving School...

FAQs

How will I know I'm ready to take my test?

We will keep track of your progress on your very own personal progress card and discuss this with you as appropriate. We will let you know when we feel you are ready to start thinking about booking a test. You must be able to drive consistently well, with confidence and without help or guidance from your instructor. If you can't, you are not ready for your test. Waiting until you are ready will save you time and money.

Can I start driving before taking my theory test?

Yes. Having driving lessons will actually help with your theory test. However, you must pass your theory test before applying for your practical driving test.

Where can I take my driving test?

We usually use Canterbury because our clients live in the vicinity of this test centre. If you wish to use a different test centre then please contact us as we are always willing to help.

Do you have automatic cars?

We ONLY have automatic cars. We find that more people are using automatic cars as they are much easier to drive than manual cars. No changing gears gives more time to concentrate on other important aspects of safe driving. This in turn lets the pupil learn that much quicker, thus saving money.

What payment do you accept?

We accept cash, major credit / debit cards, contactless, Apple Pay and Android Pay, all processed in-car. As an alternative we offer direct, online banking.

More detailed information is available on the FAQ page of our website.
