The 8 hour class felt long but we got breaks, lunch and valuable information. My driving instructor was Bill Yeager. He's an amazing instructor.

Bill Yeager was a nice instructor, both his tips and feedback were extremely useful.
We had a wonderful experience with Johnny Rowlings Driving School especially with driving instructor Jeff Pugh. Jeff was incredibly patient, encouraging, and thorough while teaching my 16-year-old son how to drive. My son completed three 2-hour driving lessons with Jeff and passed his road test on the very first…
Lessons were amazing! My instructor, Bill Jaeger, was calm, patient, and extremely helpful. My driving improved drastically throughout the lessons, and by the last lesson I was ready to take my test. I highly recommend this school and my instructor, and it was all worth the price. 5 stars!! ☺️
Jeff Pugh is a phenomenal instructor! Very calm and encouraging. He was exactly what I needed to finally get my license! I was recommended by a friend and now have been recommending him to my friends and family.
Jeff was a great instructor! My son passed on first try due to his good instructor.
My daughter took the classes with Mr. Bill Yeager. She was ready for the driving test after the 6 hours. He provided very good instructions that my daughter could follow after the lessons. He also gave us good tips on places to practice. I would definitely recommend this school.
Jeff Pugh is an awesome instructor! Very patient and communicative. Highly recommend!
My 16yr old son has taken the 8hr in class session and has 1more driving lessons left. I am pleased with the confidence he has now when it comes to driving. Jeff has done a great job helping him feel comfortable taking his Driving Test and getting familiar with driving local highways. I have already been recommended others here.
We worked with Jeff Pugh and he was amazing. Our daughter loved his teaching style and he did a great job preparing her to get her license. Nothing but good vibes with this group. Thanks, Jeff for all you did. Jolina is grateful!
Great instructor , prompt and very informative! Received license early even cause of great instructor😁😁

Jeff was GREAT! He was so patient and gave Feedback after every lesson! 10/10 recommend!
I first heard about Johnny Rowland Driving School through a friend who was also taking driving lessons there. I want to give a huge thank you to my driving instructor, Jeff Pugh! He is an excellent instructor—calm, patient, and very kind, which helped me become much more confident behind the wheel. 😊 He explained…
Bill was an excellent instructor. My daughter became a more confident driver and was welled prepared for her drivers test. She scored a 97/100. Thanks Bill & Johnny Rowlands Driving School!
If it was not for Jeff Pugh, I don't think my anxious daughter would have got her license until her 20's (I mean it). The very first lesson, he had her driving all over, even on the highway, when she only did a few hours on neighborhood streets previously. He was so compassionate and good with her. She felt…
Great experience. Felt unsure teaching my child myself and got a great, knowledgeable instructor (Bill Yeager). He was very detailed with directions and made sure my child felt comfortable and confident behind the wheel.
Jeff was an amazing teacher! Would recommend.
We worked with Bill Yeager. He did a fantastic job and my daughter passed her driving test on the first try. Very patient and provides lots of positive feedback. He knows the test route for Lees Summit so your driver will feel prepared for test taking.
Bill Yeager is an awesome instructor . He is very detailed and patient. He taught my son a lot. I felt like my son was in great hands . This is an excellent school!
Jeff was great! My daughter passed her driving test with flying colors and is so much more confident on the road!
Thank you Jeff Pugh!!! Our experience was just awesome!! This school was worth every dollar in helping my daughter not only achieve her permit/license, but also gained confidence, learned lots of safe driving tips, and helped take us out of the equation which helped keep the peace at home. Thank you so much!!!
Worth every penny! Our son's instructor, Jeff, was kind, encouraging, and patient. You can tell he really wants to see his students become confident, safe drivers. The experience was exactly what our new driver needed, who passed his test the first time, thanks to this great experience. I highly recommend Johnny…
Driving school was a lot of fun for me, my instructor was very nice and helped me a lot while in training which better prepared me for taking my license test which I ended up passing 1st try. I would highly recommend this driving school for your teens.
Jeff Pugh did a great job preparing my son to pass his driving test and teaching him invaluable lessons while behind the wheel.
I knew I was making my son more nervous about driving than I needed to, so after seeing so many amazing reviews for Johnny Rowlands Driving School, we decided to give them a try — and they absolutely lived up to the hype. Jeff Pugh was an incredible instructor. He helped my son feel confident and prepared behind…
Instruction was great. Instructors are great and well versed in helping pass a driving test!
Bill Yeager was a fabulous instructor. Informative, patient, and supportive. I could tell a difference in my sons overall driving and confidence after each session. Highly reccomend!
I enjoyed the driving classes very much, I had an amazing instructor who never made me feel nervous or caused me to do the wrong thing!! I recommend this school to anyone intrigued or interested. Shout out to my instructor Jeff Pugh!!
We were advised to go through Johnny Rowlands by a parent, I highly recommend for your student driver too. The teacher was Teresa, she drives motorcycles, and is also a motorcycle instructor. She is very kind, patient, experienced, and well rounded. We were so lucky to have her as an instructor. Our permit driver passed the driving test.
We had a great experience with Jeff! My 16 year old passed the driving test on his first time and we couldn't be happier. Highly recommend this team for getting your new driver ready for testing.
This class was exactly what was needed for our son. He took it seriously and came away with more knowledge about defensive driving and the skills needed to be on the roadway. He then was paired with Jeff for the driving portion and Jeff was great! He was very personable and professional. Not only did our son gain…
My son learned a lot and is a lot more confident behind the wheel thanks to his instructor Bill.
My son took driving lessons with Jeff Pugh and it helped him immensely with his driving confidence! He took his driving test the same day of his last lesson with Jeff and passed on his first try. This was a huge help to me as well because I was absolutely terrified at the thought of trying to teach a teenager to…
Jeff was amazing driving instructor for my daughter. He was so kind, patient and very helpful in teaching her the rules of the road. She passed her driving test on the first try with a 98% Thanks you, Jeff!
Excellent experience! Our sons took the defensive driving class and found it helpful. They also each took three drives with instructor Jeff. He is professional and personable. My sons said he is very patient and made them feel relaxed during learning. They are both great drivers and have confidence in their skills thanks to the school and Jeff!
This was a great experience for my daughter. Jeff was amazing and made her feel comfortable right off the bat (this was something I was worried about). He was patient with her and she warmed up quickly. She passed her driving test on her 3rd lesson with a 91%! I highly recommend! Worth every penny!
We had a great experience with Johnny Rowland’s Driving School. After just one of his three lessons, our 15-year-old son gained much confidence behind the wheel. Jeff was friendly, patient, professional, and informative in teaching our son. Our son was very prepared for his driving test and even got to practice the…
Bill Yeager is a great instructor, he makes sure you know what you need to do, how to do it, and when to do it. I highly recommend him to be your instructor, because he is all around just a great instructor.
Jeff Pugh has been a wonderful instructor for my granddaughter. She has thought very highly of him through the process of teaching her to drive. Ending with a near perfect score on her drivers test. Highly recommend.
Our instructor was Jeff Pugh. He was a thorough, patient teacher and made driving more comfortable for my teen. She passed, 98%! Thank you, Johnny Rowlands!
My Experience here was great! Jeff was super patient, and encouraging. Jeff went above and beyond for me when I needed extra practice, and he gave helpful feedback. I'd definitely recommend this school to anyone learning to drive.
My daughter had been driving with her permit for nearly a year before we joined Johnny Rowlands Driving School. We were recommended to pair with Jeff, that he is great at teaching parking ... something we hadn't really practiced. Jeff was amazing! His tips made my daughter more confident and skilled as a driver.…
I have used Jeff for 2 of my childrens driving lessons and they had the greatest experience. He really did a great job and it was well worth it!
Excellent driving instructors. Detail information and coaching. Greatly helps with questions.
Jeff was great to work with. He taught my son a lot to help him learn to drive. Would definitely recommend him as an instructor.
We had an amazing experience with Johnny Rowlands Driving School! My daughter started out as a very nervous driver, but by the end of her lessons, she was confident and fully prepared. She passed her driving test on her first try with an excellent score! We’re so grateful to Jeff Pugh, her instructor, for his…
Both of our kids have taken the defensive driving course and then private lessons with Jeff. It helped immensely with their confidence and it always helps teens to have input from people who are not their parents 😊 Our second son just passed his drivers test with a perfect score. I highly recommend them!
Jeff was great! He was patient and did very well at explaining things to my daughter. She passed her test very easily! Thank you!
Our daughter had an excellent experience with her driving instructor, Jeff Pugh, at the Lee's Summit location! She had some nervousness on her first driver's test attempt with our minivan. Jeff worked with her for one more lesson and Johnny Rowlands allowed her to use their car (she was more comfortable with it) for…
My daughter had a great experience at Johnny Rowland’s Driving School-Lee’s Summit. We couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. Jeff was calm, reassuring, and really built up her confidence which was exactly what she needed. She passed first try and has been driving over 6 weeks now. Still using Jeff’s valuable tips out on the roads.
Amazing teachers who really care. As a teen who paid for their class, I sincerely believe that I chose the best option! You get what you pay for and more! 10/10 would recommend to anyone!
Jeff Pugh was a great instructor. He fully prepared my son for his driving test. My son scored a 93% on his very first try. I can't say enough good things about him and the school! Thank you Jeff!
My daughter loved the classroom and the driving courses. She loved her instructor Jeff. He was very patient, calming and encouraging to her. My daughter also signed up for the extra lesson with test using their car and she passed with a 82% her first try. I feel more confident as a mother knowing that Jeff taught…
Jeff was a great teacher. He made my daughter comfortable during driving lessons and she passed her test with flying colors.
