 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was 3 days away from my road test not knowing anything. I booked lessons with Seymour Driving School the 3 days leading up to my test and even though I was learning on such short notice, I passed my road test on my first try. My instructor Rasool was flexible with times and a very good teacher in general. If I had to learn how to drive again I’d DEFINITELY choose Seymour Driving School.
