Jan Polter Driving School

My experience with this driving school is only positive. Both instructors are nice, helpful and patient. They will calmly explain any mistakes you make, or you can drive through the section again/explain the part of the theory that is causing you problems. Thanks to their approach, I managed to overcome my fears about driving and passed the exam on the first try. I definitely recommend this driving school.

I took the exams for the first time. If you can logically connect theory with practice in your head, you won't have any problems. As for route planning, I have to say that it is sometimes very random. But I think that Mr. Polter chooses routes and driving times so that the slow increase in traffic is noticeable. (By law, he should teach students to move around even in heavy traffic) During the trips, I tried driving almost everywhere. Driving on the highway, a road for motor vehicles, in a tunnel, through the center of Prague For me, it was a great experience when my mother told me how she didn't even see the highway in the driving school. Mr. Polter prefers live communication. Communication over the phone is sometimes a problem, because he is often behind the wheel with the students. I think this is a really high-quality driving school, where Mr. Polter really teaches you to drive. You just need to pay attention to what you explained last time (and ever before). Sometimes it reminds you, sometimes you just drive it and it tells you the mistakes. I recommend this driving school.

Maximum satisfaction with this driving school and the instructor. I highly recommend it.

I recommend the driving school, Mr. Polter is a friendly and nice instructor. The driving lessons were great and the theory was educational and useful. Thanks to his approach and my own effort, I passed the exams on the first try.

Hello, I think the Commissioner should consider some decisions. I am one of the people who has patience and understanding for driving schools on the roads, but can you explain to me who would take a student who is obviously afraid to drive more than 15 km/h, in the middle of the week, during the biggest rush hour, to drive from Holešovice to Bohnice, through Trója, where there is no chance of overtaking? (Instead of choosing, for example, the route through Kobylisy, where there is a two-lane road the whole way) I congratulate you on having created a column of cars from the center of Krakow to Trójský Most, you quadrupled the time it took me to get from work and you did not even think of swerving during the whole journey. I think that is quite reasonable. Maybe I would not take students without self-confidence on such sections, at such a time, and I would plan their routes a little more sensibly. Thank you for a beautiful end to a working day.

Based on the reviews, I was initially skeptical about whether Mr. Polter is really that good, and I can only confirm this from my own experience. He never yells, he goes to you calmly and doesn't stress you out. He gives advice on both driving and life. I passed the exams the first time. EDIT: Mr. Polter doesn't delete reviews, because he doesn't even have a clue about their existence until I informed him about it (around 2023). The idea that he wrote to Google and dealt with them about the ownership of this driving school is ridiculous. On top of that, Mr. Polter doesn't even read reviews, because he doesn't know how. Negative reviews and comments remain as they are and no one deletes them. This driving school is mostly attended by older people who have no idea how Google works, so don't expect many reviews. Secondly, negative reviews CANNOT be deleted.

I chose this driving school based on online reviews. Today, based on my experience, opinions of colleagues from the driving school, and current reviews, I know that negative reviews are probably deleted. The choice was a mistake for the following reasons: 1) Mr. Polter was regularly late for classes, even 5 times out of 28 classes he was late by more than half an hour (2 times without calling). 2) He does his own business during the drives. I wouldn't have a problem with that if it was either exceptional or a 15-minute stop. But the stops were over half an hour long, sometimes over an hour (printer repair, service visit, etc.). 3) Theory classes. Out of 45 minutes, he writes down attendance and phone numbers of the participants for 15 minutes (I still don't know why every time??). You write over 20-year-old tests with questions that were discarded, and on the contrary, there are a lot of them missing. You are required to attend these classes every week until the end of the course, even if you don't have a problem with the tests. 4) Mr. Polter's age (over 70 years old) and character. It's hard to say what caused it, but he didn't answer direct questions or answered evasively or confusedly. He regularly forgot what he said and what he didn't. 5) The make-up date for the final exams. Fortunately, this didn't affect me, but it still seems like the worst to me. Unfortunately, my colleague didn't take the exam the first time. At the time, she asked with humor that maybe there wouldn't be another date in two months. He ordered it for her in three months, and the date was in another month. She had to buy fitness rides the whole time. Unbelievable. I passed the exams on the first try (not thanks to him, then). Complete disrespect for other people. If I could, I wouldn't give any stars.

There is one price on the page, when you go there, they immediately impose not only the more expensive one but also a few thousand more. 25 thousand, saying that diesel is expensive (now about 36kc/l) and cars are expensive. At the same time, the fleet is 20 years old. Fabia 1 and Octavia 1. It is clear that the gentleman is trying to dig up as much as possible. In addition, I noticed that he deletes all negative comments. You think, good, only positive comments. but the truth is different. What is the point of comments if the unsatisfactory ones are immediately reported/deleted, etc. No NO

I have to give 5 stars because, like everyone else, I was on edge and scared when I started driving school. But Mr. Polter was very nice, didn't yell and explained everything to me normally like a person to a person. I highly recommend it! If I gave it to you, you should too

I can only recommend Mr. Polter. He explains everything in detail and clearly, if you do something stupid while driving (and everyone does something stupid), he doesn't yell at you, so you don't have unnecessary stress from driving. You arrange the lessons according to your time options. I passed the theory 100% the first time and the driving was fine on the second attempt - on the first I missed the 30 zone sign, however, the commissioner said that otherwise I drive well, which Mr. Polter really teaches you - to drive well.
