    Hi did the company take students for behind the wheeltest?

    Hi Kaine, there is an option to book the driving school for your test if you want to, similar to booking time for lessons - I took the test in the car which I am driving now.

    I don't know where to start because I only have amazing things to say and there aren't enough words…read moreto express my gratitude. Today I passed my behind the wheel as an adult driver. First try! Growing up, I had strict parents who wanted to keep me home and never taught me to drive. All the times I attempted to, I would just lock up and have so much anxiety and it caught on to me. I always took care of everyone growing up and this was the one thing I needed to accomplish for myself. I woke up one day and said enough is enough and having a 2 year old son who has soooo much energy and needs to go to park at least twice a day, that was my motivation. Long is an amazing instructor. He is attentive, asks about your goals and how you want to achieve them, great executor, and most of all a great communicator. I got the 10 hour package and I learned more than I would've learning on my own or with my husband. Every lesson breezed by and Long made me comfortable along with giving me constructive criticism without judgement. My favorite part of our lessons was the beautiful views he showed me which opened up my eyes and motivated to get my license and see what else is out there! Thank you so much Long! 10/10 would recommend to everyone!

    We had a great experience with Long and LT Driving School. He explained the DMV test procedure,…read moresimulating what would happen step-by-step. He was also pointed out the top mistakes that people make, and how to avoid them. He helped us understand what the DMV evaluators are looking for, and what will trigger an instant fail. He was also knowledgeable about the typical test routes that they take, which helped us become familiar with the roads. Of course, he also did a great job explaining things in a way that was easy to remember. Highly recommended! Note: we had previously taken three lessons (six hours) with another driving school, well known in the area. Long and LT Driving School were MUCH better!

    I just had to leave a review because I'm so happy right now lol. My son just passed his driving…read moretest on the first try and i honestly didn't expect that!! He only did like 10 hours of lessons with Mr. Lee and i couldn't believe how much he improved. As a parent i was really worried about finding someone who could actually work with a teenager you know how they can be lol. But Mr. Lee was super patient with my son the whole time, never got frustrated or anything. My son actually liked going to his lessons which is saying a lot haha. He teaches you in a way that's really easy to understand and my son said he always felt comfortable and knew what to do. The tips and techniques he showed him really worked because he remembered them during the actual test! Honestly if you have a teenager who needs to learn how to drive just go with Mr. Lee. I would 100% recommend him to any parent. So worth it!!

    We had Mr. Lee teach our daughter to drive. He is very professional, and his teaching style is also…read morevery effective. Here is the comments from my daughter: Instructor Lee was always extremely professional and great at teaching! Before starting, he explained how RPMs work and how to lightly press on the pedals without overcompensating, and I always felt safe learning with him. If I ever made a mistake he would be very courteous and helpful. His explanations are very clear and easy to understand, which was important to me because I struggled with different aspects of driving. His breakdown of where you should stay in the road and how to leverage your momentum were very helpful! It seems like he cares about the success of his driving students, and he will go above and beyond. I would definitely trust this instructor and recommend him to my friends and families.

    Have attended this course a couple of times and seriously, is so much better than other traffic…read moreschools, not even close. The coursework is funny in a corny/cheesy way but Rocky is a super nice guy and you do end up learning a lot! The time goes by quickly and you are actually learning/remembering so much stuff! I told everyone to go here! CA is trying to incentivize people to go online/making it hard for traffic schools to run in person, but seriously if you want people to actually learn something, be engaged, and hear other stories of why people also were at traffic school, would think that's way more valuable/preventative. I've remembered so much about laws and traffic rules over the years because of this course.

    Spending an entire day in a classroom for traffic school instead of knocking it out online might…read moreseem like a tough choice, but Rocky made it well worth it. Unlike the tedious, self-guided online courses, this class was interactive, engaging, and even enjoyable. Originally, I was skeptical sacrificing a Saturday but I learned a lot and I am not good at taking tests on my own at home. Rocky kept us involved with real-world examples, humor, and a teaching style that actually made the material stick. If you have to go through traffic school, this is the best way to do it--learning from an instructor who brings the subject to life, rather than just clicking through a screen for hours. I highly recommend him to anyone! Thank you Rocky!

    Bay Hill is the best driving school in the Bay Area. I know that's saying a lot, but truth be…read moretold, I had such a great experience here. I'm a freshly 20 year old female without any experience behind the wheel, and I mean any!! Unfortunately, my nerves got the best of me during my first lesson and I freaked out. I caused myself and my instructor some stress, and sadly I was unmotivated to drive for a while. Before I left a negative review, I contacted Bay Hill's through email. They made things right and scheduled my second appointment with JP, and he was fantastic! I went from shaking like a leaf behind the wheel to having genuine confidence in 2 hours-- No exaggeration! We drove around and shared a heartfelt conversation, in which he also shared some tips on lane switching and turns. Halfway through our session, we stopped for water and stretches, so I knew my comfortability was respected. The negative reviews on this business are so upsetting. This is an excellent Asian-owned, woman-owned small business with so much diversity on their staff. If your first lesson goes awry, contact them!!! They are bound to have someone you are comfortable with. This is an honest review! I could not recommend Bay Hill Driving School enough!

    My instructor was a bit of a nightmare who didn't talk me through any steps, she just told me to…read morestart driving right away and harshly corrected anything I did wrong. She would smack gum, eat food, and generally had an attitude of not caring. Only until my last class did she run me through a couple of rules but I never really learnt anything under her teaching. It was high pressure and everything I learned was like being tested without knowing there was a test or what the material was on. The only saving grace here is that the people at the office are great, they kindly signed my second permit and gave me another learning certificate for $25 when I lost my first one. I would shop around for a better driving school before settling on this one.
