I really recommend David's Driving School, because they made everything so easy for me, from scheduling appointments to the road test. My driving instructor Tom was great. He was very patient and gave me helpful tips to strengthen my driving skills. I felt very prepared for the road test, which Tom took me to, and passed on my first try. Thank you Tom and David's Driving School for all your help!

I'd like to preface this by saying that I held a North Carolina State Driver's License for 10+ years, and made the mistake of letting my license expire when I moved up to NYC. Once I re-acquired my learner's permit, I began to take driving lessons in NYC so I could get acquainted with city traffic, but I wanted to take my road test in a more rural area so I wouldn't have to deal with the added stress of traffic in New York. I did a google search and found David's Driving School in Spring Valley. It's about a 1hr train ride out of NY Penn Station, and is about a 3 minute walk once you get off the Spring Valley platform. Very convenient and accessible location for anyone living in the city.
The woman answering the phone was lovely and hospitable, and it really puts you at ease to hear such a pleasant voice speaking over the phone like that. I booked a 45min practice session in conjunction with their road test package.
The day of my road test, it happened to be snowing. When I arrived everyone was very friendly and even offered me a free cup of coffee. My driving instructor (his name was Shai - I apologize if I'm misspelling this) was terrific. In comparison to what I experienced in New York, I would say that he was my best instructor. He understands driving very well, his instructions are extremely clear and easy to follow, and perhaps most importantly - he spoke in a manner that really helped me to relax and just enjoy driving. He also gave me some parallel parking tips that basically resulted in a perfect parallel park every time. Once we got to the road test area, he talked me through exactly how the road test would go, and sure enough - it went exactly how he said it. He prepared me extremely well, and I passed without difficulty.
I will tell you that even for someone who is an experienced driver, the DMV road test is a nerve-racking experience. You basically put your fate in the hands of someone who has total power to deny your driving privileges, and it's very easy to let anxiety get the better of you. My instructor really understood the value in building my driving confidence and putting me at ease. I passed and had a great time doing so.

I just passed my first road test today. If it wasn't for the 7 lessons i took in this school especially with my driving instructor Tom, i wouldn't have passed. The lessons taught me certain tricks that my peers wouldn't know. Tom was always reassuring to me and always gave me review of the certain things i needed to work on after each lesson. Taking these lessons from Davids driving school has helped me feel confident when arriving on the test site. Tom even went with me to the site. The staff was very helpful in setting up appointments and lessons for me, and making sure i had everything that i needed for the road test. They are very friendly people. If you are looking for a driving school in Rockland County, go to Davids Driving School, and specifically ask for Tom, one of the driving instructors. I have done my research when picking out a driving school, and i am glad that i picked this one.

Took my son to DDS and they were very professional from the start. We went with a 5 lesson driving package that included the 5 hour course and taking my son to his driving test. The Driving instructor was a very nice man who was patient and professional with my son. When I asked him if my son was doing well I always felt that he told me the truth and wasn't BS'ing me because they knew I was more than willing to pay for more lessons. To make a long story short I would recommend this driving school. My son passed his test on the first try!!!!

My 20yo son had scheduled his road test for Orangeburg way in advance. He had taken a driving lesson package upstate while he was at college over the school year and had practiced some with friends, but we weren't sure how he was going to actually take the test, since we don't own a car (we live in Manhattan). The test date was fast approaching and we couldn't find anyone to loan us a car. I was getting nervous. I went online one night and started Googling driving schools in Rockland County, hoping I'd find one that had cars available to use for taking the road test. (I had called a driving school in Manhattan and the only way they'd help us out is if we bought a $500+ package of lessons, which we didn't need.)I emailed David's Driving School late at night and heard back from them before I even went to bed. They offered to do a brush-up lesson and then take him straight to the DMV for $135. This seemed like a bargain, especially since they know that DMV office well and could let him know what to expect at that particular location. I exchanged a few emails with Susan as the date approached--it could not have been easier to set things up. My husband rented a Zipcar for them to get up there that day, and my son passed his driving test, and had a wonderful experience overall! When I asked my son if he had any feedback for a Yelp review, he just said, 'They were perfect'. Coming from a 20-year-old, I think that says a lot. I highly recommend this place, especially to Manhattan parents! They're really like a friend.
