Hebeda Driving School

I do not recommend. Reluctant and uncommunicative driving school..

(CZ/English below) I had a very negative experience with this driving school, both because of the personal conduct and the lack of professionalism and transparency. During my second driving lesson, the instructor shouted at me the whole time, even though it was obvious that I was nervous and crying. He decided to continue the lesson in a very stressful atmosphere. The worst moment was when he forcibly grabbed my hand at a traffic light and pushed it on the steering wheel, even though there was no danger. His behavior was aggressive and arrogant from the beginning, and physical contact was unacceptable to me. After this incident, I decided to cancel the course. I was never informed of any cancellation policy and I did not sign any contract. When I personally came to hand over the cancellation letter, the owner shouted at me again and threatened lawyers to force me to pay the fee, which I never agreed to. The whole process was very unpleasant and stressful, but in the end it was clear that the truth was on my side — no contract was signed and no policy was announced in advance. Everything was conducted informally and unprofessionally from the beginning. In my experience, this driving school is neither trustworthy nor safe — neither in terms of approach to students, nor in terms of conduct. I do not recommend it. EN: I had a very negative experience with this driving school, both in terms of personal treatment and lack of professionalism and transparency. In my second driving lesson, the instructor spent the entire time yelling at me, even though I was visibly nervous and crying. He still decided to continue the lesson under extreme stress. The worst moment was when, at a traffic light, he suddenly grabbed my hand and pushed it against the steering wheel, even though there was no danger at all. His attitude was aggressive and disrespectful from the beginning, and this physical contact was completely unacceptable. After this incident, I decided to cancel my participation in the school. I was never informed about any cancellation policy, nor did I sign any contract. When I went in person to deliver my cancellation letter, the owner yelled at me again and threatened me with lawyers to force me to pay a fee I had never agreed to. The whole process was unpleasant and stressful, but in the end it was clear that I was in the right: there was no signed contract and no prior notice of any cancellation policy. From the very beginning, everything was handled informally and without transparency. In my opinion, this is not a trustworthy or safe driving school, neither in the way they treat students nor in the way they handle their business. I do not recommend it.

The driving school is very well organized and the app for booking both the theory and the driving lessons is simple and clear. The flexibility of the dates is a big plus and Mr. Hebeda is really helpful and supportive during the exams. However, what significantly reduces the overall impression is the attitude during the practical driving lessons. Mr. Hebeda often raises his voice and reacts irritatedly, especially when he feels that his car is in danger. This creates an unnecessarily stressful environment in which it is harder to concentrate on learning and improving skills. As a student, I feel more pressured than motivated to progress. If he had focused more on calm and constructive feedback, the level of teaching would be much higher. It's a shame, because organizationally and technically the driving school is at a very good level.
