Congratulations to Zaria from Dover, who passed her practical driving test at Canterbury test centre on the 26th July- at the first attempt!
Living in a remote location, made it crucial for Zaria to pass her driving test, as no public transport, means she has been reliant on others for lifts!

“JHDS is by far the best! Everything was 5 stars”
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

“I never thought I would pass my driving test, let alone with a clean sheet (zero faults)!! “
The most important criteria for me when choosing a driving school was that I wanted a patient, friendly instructor who was able to fit my lessons around my work schedule.
Learning with John was significantly better than the first time I had lessons. His methods were excellent. Very patient, clear and calming. It made learning to drive much more enjoyable than my previous experience.
I would defiantly recommend the school as my driving experience with John made something that I hated doing enjoyable. Having such clear explanations really helped.
There is literally nothing I would of changed about my experience with John Harvey Driving School.
Thank you so much for all your help, I never thought I would pass my driving test, let alone with a clean sheet (zero faults)!!

“I passed first time”
I would definitely recommend the John Harvey Diving School. I had Chris as my instructor and I passed first time. He was very patient and always had plenty of hints and tips to help improve anything I was struggling with. Thanks a lot!
