“I learned how to be a safe, observant and confident driver. It made me confident I would pass my G2 test, and I passed my test on the first try. I definitely recommend young drivers, they are the best!”
Kaelyn McNulty
“The instruction is really helpful because it breaks down all the skills so it's easy to understand and teaches you how to anticipate problems rather than just reacting. The biggest problem with Young Drivers is the scheduling. It's hard to get appointments close together and there are often conflicts in schedules happening. Be prepared for this course to take a long time.”
Meg George
“Ali was fantastic. He was a great instructor! I would highly recommended him through Young Drivers!!”
