Ķekava is a rapidly growing suburban district centre with dense housing, new residential developments and heavy traffic on the main routes towards Riga and Jelgava. The influx of families from the capital in recent years has created strong demand for driver training — not only among young people, but also among those who have relocated from Riga, where public transport previously made it possible to manage without a driving licence.
The driving environment in and around Ķekava is varied and provides good preparation for the CSDD examination — relatively new roads with good infrastructure, older streets, active construction zones and a highway section towards Riga. Several driving schools have branches directly in Ķekava municipality, and Riga-based schools with locally available instructors also operate here.
Before making a choice, consulting the CSDD driving school statistics is essential. Both theory and driving examination pass rates are publicly available and offer a far more objective assessment of a school's work than social media reviews or promotional material. For large Riga schools with many students, the statistics are also more representative.
On the question of price and the contract — before signing, always check: how many lessons are included in the price, what an additional driving lesson costs, what the cancellation conditions are, and whether examinations and other mandatory services are charged separately. The CSDD examination for Ķekava students is typically taken in Riga.
