Amy at american driving challenge is nothing short of a nut job. she made me cry every lesson that i did with her and told me i would never pass the test (i passed with only two points off). additionally, she encouraged reckless driving and did not make me feel safe or confident behind the wheel. she took person calls during the lesson, one being to a social worker who she was arguing with to get food stamps. i implore anyone seeking drivers ed lessons to steer clear of american driving challenge.

Review of Motorcycle Safety Foundation courses. I took two…read morecourses in 2025, one from each of Central Coast Motorcycle Training (CCMT) and one from Pacific Motorcycle Training (PMT). The one from Pacific Motorcycle Training was much better. The biggest negative of CCMT was their instructor (I won't name him). He was so rude. He gleefully mocked me for being slow in learning to habitually turn my head while turning the bike. In the other hand, I loved my instructor at PMT. He was extremely complementary about my riding skills. It is so much easier to learn in a positive environment than a negative one. The fee for the two courses were equal. The PMT course caused me to spend more on travel but it was way worth the additional cost. I grade the classroom portions of the two courses as : CCMT, a B ; PMT, an A+ .

Rob took a class at the school, To sharpen their skills and…read moreride by the rule. They learned to be safer, more sharp and aware, With helmets, and gloves, and bug-splattered flair! Their favorite instructor? A hoot and a blast, From good ol' 29 Palms -- she teaches so fast! With a smile so wide and a laugh that's unique, Count the bugs in her teeth -- at least twenty a week! "Be AGGRESSIVE!" she'd shout, with joy and with cheer, And those words, oh believe us, we'll always hold dear. She's bubbly, she's fearless, she zooms with a grin, If riding were trophies, she'd win and win again. So here's to the school and the lessons they bring, To balance and braking and cornering king! Insurance gives discounts, but that's not the best part -- It's the safety and skills and a brave, bikey heart!

I have been driving 35 years and it was instructive to me (we all might benefit from a refresher!).

Can't say enough. 10 stars out of 5.

I did a stick shift lesson with Bill a year ago. I wanted to learn how to drive stick because it…read moreseemed like an important skill both for traveling to other countries and being a better driver overall. I had a great time during my lesson. Bill was very realistic and upfront at the start, that I would learn how to get feom point A to point B, but it might not be pretty! By the end of the lesson, I felt reasonably confident in my newfound skill. Bill gave me the Zen-like attitude and skills necessary to instantly recognize what was going on whenever the car did not respond as intended, and to take emotions out of the problem-solving process. These things can be so hard when you inevitably stall and anger other drivers---something everybody does when learning to drive a manual. A few weeks after my lesson, I ended up going on a fun drive through the European countryside to a destination not easily reachable by public transit. The guy at the rental counter, seeing I was American, tried to give me an automatic and I had to correct him. I did stall a few times, including while inching forward in highway traffic, and was able to stay cool and collected. As promised, I got from Point A to Point B! Someday, I want my next car to be something sporty with a stick shift. I am most impressed by the psychological skills Bill taught me in this context. These aren't skills I would have learned from simply asking a friend or parent to teach me. If I had teens, I would absolutely want Bill to teach them the driving skills that *will* save their life--a purpose he is passionate about from his previous job as a cop. Thanks Bill for teaching me a skill I will enjoy for years to come!
