Our Story

“I’m Donna  and I am immensely proud to have built BDS Driving School from scratch, starting as single operator back in 1999 to where we currently teach in excess of 300 Local students per week”.

The business has been built by supplying quality instruction to both our learner driver customers and the general public who have trained with us, many of whom still work at the driving school as instructors.”
