If your are thinking about valuable and most exciting driving lessons and exams, think no more and stop here. Make a call and get a quick response. Cool and calm driving instructions with enjoyable and tense easing from chats from instructor. What stood out is flexible pick up and dropping points of your choice at fare price. Thanks to Susan and Peter.

Peter is an amazing teacher. Highly recommend his service. His price is reasonable, he teaches you patiently, and he makes sure you understand all the laws. He mentioned he was a former police officer so you’re getting great training! He really understand climate driving as well such as tips for snow and mountain driving. Prepares you for everything.

Excellent prompt respond. I was able to pass the test on time and under 20 minutes. Instructor was very pleasant and professional. Smooth document delivery. Cheapest price in town. Very convenient and stress free. I’ll be taking my children there when they grow up!

What a genuinely open and honest driver training feedback. My daughter didn't pass the first time, but was assured she had the fundamentals. We worked on what she had issues with and on the second attempt she sailed thru. Peter is very experienced and highly skilled both in Driving and communicating. He is level headed and teaches both from his head and heart with even handed and calm and caring attention to the student. I cannot recommend Drive Right to much. If your child has anxiety or little confidence, go to Drive Right and they will get them on the right side of the rode.

Actually blown away by the incompetence Peter Gates displays at his job. He does not know how to be a driving instructor, if he even knows how to drive at all. Apparently, the man never uses or even glances at his speedometer, considering he would adamantly refuse that my child even look at the speedometer to determine their speed or if they are going the right speed on the road. Their philosophy behind driving speeds is apparently "feel it out" so I'm now convinced he's never paid attention to a posted speed limit sign in his life. He also refuses that his students look down at the clutch to switch gears (from park, to drive or reverse, etc) so I can only imagine how many alternators he has gone through. On top of this, he would regularly ask VERY inappropriate questions to my child during their driving "lessons" if you would even call them that at this point. I'm almost convinced something predatory was going on considering they failed my child's driving test 3 different times, each for increasingly ridiculous reasons as listed above. Then, I tried a different company and my daughter passed first try without any inappropriate behavior, difficulties or ridiculous stipulations. Each test is 150 dollars, so either Peter Gates is scamming people out of their money by making up rules, or he's a creep who wanted to force my daughter to be around him more. Either way, stay far away from this driving school. Edit: I am adding onto my previous review and bumping up my star rating from a 1 to 2 for the following reasons. Shortly after posting my review, I was contacted by Peter Gates by phone. They were reasonable and courteous in doing their best to explain how some of the issues I had with their teaching style may have been a result of misunderstandings. They also offered my daughter a refund on their most recent driving test, which they honored. While some of the things they said didn't line up with my child's version of the story entirely, I can relinquish my claim that their intentions were motivated by inappropriate intentions. Not the worst driving school, but maybe some of the instruction methods need adjustment.
