“Young Drivers. I took it when I was a kid and still remember the defensive driving skills I was taught. My 18 year old took it 2 years ago. Peter is a fantastic instructor. Just signed my 16 year old up the other day. You get what you pay for. Some of the newer schools just teach you to pass the test.”
Jenn Barro Ralph
“My 16 y/o just finished Young Drivers and he has so much confidence. No issues scheduling lessons and his instructor, Peter, was great. You absolutely get what you pay for.”
Kathy Riley
“My daughter saw Peter with young drivers. She had in class lessons and then driving lessons. Not cheap but very informative and Peter was very kind.”
