I was taken through a school zone at 11:30am that didn’t have the lights notifying traffic of a school zone. It just had a sign saying between the hours of 7-4 it was an active school zone. I’m huge on protecting the kids and school zone compliance but that seems like a purposeful way to fail someone so they can just rack up the $$$$$ Heather was my instructor and she was just bland and blah all in herself which made the experience that much worse. I’ll happily spend more money to go somewhere else due to my experience here.
Heather Bigger was my instructor and she was not only professional and informative, but she was also very friendly and the nerves and anxiety went away the moment we got into the vehicle together. Thank you so much for w get experience
I am so thankful for 1st Drive! I learned so much and was given so many helpful tips and feel good going into the drivers test. Randy is the best instructor he is so thoughtful has such a good heart and I enjoyed my time getting to learn and talk with him. The entire company has been so flexible with rescheduling and is just all around great!
Randy, his wife, and the entire team are absolutely outstanding. Their professionalism, genuine care for each student, and unwavering commitment to safety truly set them apart. Both of my children completed their driver’s education through his school, and I can honestly say Randy has the patience of a saint. Anyone who has worked with teenagers knows how challenging that can be, yet he consistently earns their respect and attention. His calm, supportive teaching style builds confidence while reinforcing safety and responsibility on the road. I highly recommend Randy and his team to anyone searching for a top-tier driver’s education program.
Our daughter took her driving lessons with Jessica and had a wonderful experience. Jessica was thorough and taught her many valuable skills. She feels prepared now to take her driving test. I would highly recommend Jessica for any teen in need of lessons. She made our teen feel comfortable from the start and was an excellent instructor.
