Founded on the principles of professional excellence and community service, Kriticals Defensive Driving School Limited has been transforming lives through exceptional driving education since 2019.
Kriticals Defensive Driving School Limited was born from a vision to bring world-class driving education to Jamaica. Founded by Nicholas McKenzie, a professionally-trained instructor with a passion for road safety, we've spent over 5 years building a reputation for excellence in defensive driving instruction.
What started as a mission to teach safe driving has evolved into a comprehensive community initiative. Through our flagship Drive to Thrive mentorship program, we're not just creating better drivers—we're building confident, responsible young leaders who understand the value of life on and off the road.
Our commitment to excellence has been recognized with the prestigious Supreme Ventures Foundation Hero Award, celebrating our innovative approach to youth development and road safety education.
"Every student we train becomes an ambassador for safer roads in Jamaica."
