Hi there, Does anyone know of a driving instructor in Santo Domingo who can teach an English speaking expat to drive who doesn't speak Spanish?

English speaking driving instructor
He wants a DRIVING (CAR) Instructor, not "DIVER" Instructor.
Having a car is great in SD, not to be tied to public transportation and taxis. When I lived off the Nuñez, I could have driven to Boca Chica every weekend... If i had had a car.
That's the last place a newbie should be turned loose to drive.
Heck just get in and drive with no license like 60% of Dominicans
Whether it's 60 or 40 really doesn't matter when the qualifications to obtain a license include having a face and being able to scribble two or three amorphous letters for a signature.
Actually you must pass a written test, eye exam and a joke of a driving test
Motos, agree. But taxi and bus drivers NO..........................They are more likely to have a license than the average person.
I would spend some time in a taxi before driving in Santo Domingo. Or at least get out of the busy area into a slower barrio to practice.
There are no lanes, no signal lights, no rules.

I know folks that have licenses. Hey your eyes have to be good to spot the one avocado from the end of the season that's 30 feet up in the tree.
Not sure about that but I can say with certainty 90% don't abide
by the driving rules.
