Einsteins Driving School offers continuous campaign price for theoretical road traffic regulation training (just like driving schools "Gross" and "Mustangs"), but this discount comes with a commitment and liabilities. You can read more about the tricks of driving school promotions and coupons here.
In contrast, Presto Driving School, as a socially responsible school, does not offer promotions at the expense of costs and student safety.
The total cost of the driving school training is a significant investment, so it is important to read the contract carefully and, if necessary, show it to a lawyer, to make sure that it does not hide various risks and additional liabilities (hidden costs).

The complaints portal sudzibas.lv is a popular, but sometimes biased source. The reader should evaluate the entire context – nature of the complaint, the driving school's response, and whether the case is resolved or unresolved. It should also be noted that there is a correlation between the size of the driving school, the number of customers served and the overall number of complaints.
