Driving School Šimčák

I have to say that teacher Šimčák taught me a lot, both in theory and in practice. I definitely recommend it.

The driving school is cheap (relative to the competition). But the services provided correspond to this. I attended 2 theory classes, because then I realized that it was meaningless. Mr. Šimčák plays a 20-year-old DVD on them, because he says it is "very informative". Then the e-test training begins, which everyone can do at home anyway. But the whole thing is interspersed with comments insulting girls and high school students (I quote: "You all can recognize colors, right?" (no one answers) "Well, people have been having such... peculiarities, I meant deviations, you know?" (still silence) "For example, one student came to us, he happened to be from high school, so not that it was somehow related to that, but he couldn't recognize colors. So I'll ask."). Theory classes start, I think, at 4:00 p.m. So you tell yourself that you will be there a little earlier so as not to annoy that annoying old man by coming late. At 3:50 p.m. the bell rings and no one answers, other students come, everyone rings and still no one answers, until 3:59 p.m. Mr. Šimčák will not forgive himself for the venomous comment that "it is customary to be late everywhere today, everyone is late for the rides," and why should he open the theory class earlier. So come to the first class, hand in your documents and don't go there anymore. Mr. Šimčák makes arrangements for the rides in person because he needs to have a euro folder with papers with him, where he writes down the day and time of the ride. You can exceptionally call him (after prior arrangement), if he doesn't pick up, he will call you back. So the communication is fine in this regard (if that's something to praise). The problem, however, arises when you want to make an appointment. He usually gives you a day and time, e.g. Tuesday 3:00 PM. But if you tell him that you would rather have 4:00 PM, he will tell you that he only has time on Saturday at 4:00 PM. If you want Saturday 3:00 PM, he will tell you that he has time at 3:00 PM on Tuesday. But you can see that his A4 sheet with the table is completely empty. But you don't move with him, that's how the ride arrangement works. (At least with me) On the rides, he always goes around about 3 of the same routes and claims that the commissioners go there most often. But the reality is completely different: The commissioner then takes you on a route to streets where you have never been before. Mr. Šimčák is used to it from the time when the commissariat was located on Hanácké náměstí. During the rides, Šimčák doesn't say much, sometimes he makes slightly inappropriate comments, but that's probably unfortunately standard for driving school teachers. The problem is, however, when you want to ask about something that is unclear to you in the law. He will then give you an answer that actually shows that you know even less than before. Ask him specifically what it means that a pedestrian is about to use a crosswalk. Is he 5 meters from the crosswalk?, a meter?, is he standing by it and looking around? I still don't know. He practices the theory that a person should figure everything out on their own (even slowly figuring out how to get going) and that they should have "intuitive thinking". I agree, but as a beginner, no one has intuitive thinking. But I have to appreciate that he knows good tools for teaching parking. But he should try parking with his students more than once. Then it looks like he will tell you on the last proper ride that it is necessary to buy at least 2 more fitness shoes. But he is much nicer on those extra fitness rides. I guess it's because he doesn't issue a receipt for them. Well, he issues one, but doesn't write the receipt number on it, so he can tear as many papers as he wants from that little book. I also recommend everyone to ask him how to turn on the windshield wipers. Now I know that it's DOWN on a Toyota. I wish I had known that during the test... I also have to agree with the previous review. The test dates are offered in such a way that it violates the law. Waiting a month for a date is impossible. I don't know if it's Šimčák's problem (probably not), but rather it's the problem of the local, sloppy commissioners who simply throw out so many people that there's nowhere to register another one. But if you push them a little, suddenly a free spot for a retake test appears the very next day... However, Mr. Šimčák's arrogance is also manifested in another, strange way. Když s vámi mluví, nikdy se nedívá do očí, ale tak jaksi podivně někam dozadu za vás. Nedoporučuji

Absolutely the worst driving school. They entice you with low prices, but if you fail the test, they lose interest in you because they already have the money from you and are focusing on other applicants. They only give you the next retake exam dates in about a month and they make excuses about the exam commissioners being on vacation. They "recommend" you buy more lessons. The teaching is done in a teach-it-yourself style and you have free tests on the internet, so practice. I absolutely do not recommend it.
