D’s School of Motoring was established by me, Diane Harvey in 2011. I am a fully qualified and RSA approved driving instructor (ADI number: 37268). D’s School of Motoring is based in Killybegs and operates all over South-West Donegal.
Not only do we provide each of the courses mentioned here but we also actively promote road safety within the community.
This work along with the exceptional service provided by us has resulted in the awards and videos shown below.

ADI, Instructor of the year 2012,2013
Being an approved driving instructor (ADI) means that I uphold and practice the RSA's set of standards. I am fully Gardai vetted and abide by the RSA's voluntary code of practices. The commitment to road safety is expected of all students who enroll in D's School of Motoring. The best way to ensure this is achieved is to teach every student to the highest standard. This level of teaching is recognised by the RSA and has lead to me winning the Approved Driving Instructor of the year award twice, consecutively in 2012 and 2013. An achievement which is the first in the history of this national award.
