What our customers have to say….

I found Karen to be very friendly and relaxed

was looking for a driving school with good online reviews and price. I got a recommendation from a friend about JHDS. Learning to drive was slightly harder than I thought it would be. I found Karen to be very friendly and relaxed during lessons and was easy to learn to drive with.

Chris’ teaching methods were very effective and easy to understand

Recommendations, friendly and nice instructors were all important criteria to me when I was looking for a driving school. Price and pass rates were also important. My sister passed 1st time with the school so I knew they were good.

I found my lessons much more enjoyable than I thought they would be and I found myself finding things easy to get the hang of. Chris’ teaching methods were very effective and easy to understand.

I would defiantly recommend the school as I was very happy with everything and I’m sure my friends would be too. Everything seemed great to me. Thank you so much

JHDS is by far the best! everything was 5 star

The most important criteria to me when I was looking for a driving school was good online reviews particularly from anxious drivers. Also, a school with a good reputation was important.  I have held a driving licence in the USA for many years but I was very nervous to start with but Chris was a perfect instructor for me. He is very methodical in his approach and I knew I would be ready for the test with his help. I liked knowing what we would be working on during the next lesson.

I would recommend the driving school as I have been to other schools and JHDS is by far the best! Everything was 5 stars
