Josef Pátek Driving School

I had Mr. Bialas at the driving school and it was definitely a great experience for me. He taught me everything in a calm and relaxed driving atmosphere where I wasn't afraid to make mistakes. Thank you very much!

Josef Pánek Driving School — Říčany, Group AM, Hradová Střímelice training area. We are writing this reference out of gratitude for the good training. I admit that I was worried. A fifteen-year-old daughter, preparations for high school entrance exams, and an AM driving license on top of that. I wondered if it wasn't too much at once. Today I know that my worries were unnecessary — and Josef Pánek Driving School in Říčany has a lot to thank for that. I know what people look for when choosing a driving school: what is the instructor's approach, whether they have their own training space for beginners, how is the preparation for the tests, how does the driving school communicate, whether the price is appropriate, and most importantly — whether they really teach students to drive, or just formally complete mandatory lessons. I have a clear answer to each of these questions. Instructor Kuba — that's what everyone calls him — is the right person. Kind, patient, smart, with natural authority. He doesn't need to shout or stress. He can get an inexperienced rider to be calm and collected, and these are two qualities that save lives behind the wheel (handlebars). My daughter looked forward to every lesson — and that's probably the best possible assessment. The training area in Hradové Střímelice — a short distance from Ondřejov, about half an hour from us — offered my daughter exactly what a novice biker needs: a space where she can get started properly without the stress of real traffic. An older but functional area where you can work on the basics of driving technique calmly and systematically. You need an AM driver's license for that small car for a fifteen-year-old, that's what she wants to do in circles. The preparation for the theory was smart and targeted. The driving school provided access to online tests, where you could immediately see where your daughter was making mistakes. It wasn't about blind memorization, but about truly understanding the rules — and practicing specific weak points. That's exactly what preparation should look like. The price of the course was a pleasant surprise for us — in the context of Prague and Central Bohemia, I would describe it as below average, i.e. significantly favorable. The quality of the teaching was no less. Then came the D-day. In the morning, tests in Kutná Hora, in the afternoon, practical driving. The inspector — a strict, smart, empathetic, professional person — inspired respect in me. Despite this, and perhaps precisely because of this, the exam was manageable. My daughter did well. Those who are well prepared will normally pass. I know more driving schools and I have to say honestly: this is in a different league. A different approach, a different pleasant atmosphere. Good preparation in a driving school + a consistent inspector = a safe driver on the roads. This is the right combination and they have it here, they have proven it organizationally here. And a little family story to conclude: I was so excited about the whole thing that my daughter and I made a bet. When in a year — when she is sixteen — she extends her license to motorcycles of group A1 (I know she has to take the driving tests again and I want her to improve), I will extend my driver's license too. We are returning. Josef Pánek Driving School was not a random choice for us, it will be a conscious decision. Traffic in the Central Bohemian Region and in Prague is demanding and sometimes violent. You need calm, balance, tolerance for others and most importantly — the desire to always return home healthy. She will learn all this here. That is why we write this reference with conviction and joy. My daughter is happy, proud that she gave it a go and confident on the road. And that is the most important thing for parents. Thank you.

Absolute satisfaction. I went to get my A1 done and Jakub explained everything to me and taught me so that I could pass the final exam without any problems and be ready to drive in traffic. At the same time, the staff was always pleasant and just overall satisfaction. I will definitely come back to get my car done.
