Driving school?

[Trumpet]

So, my daughter got her learner's permit a couple of months ago. Any decent (affordable) driving school recommendations? This is all new to me. As a PA native (and old) we just had classroom driver's ed in HS and then a couple behind-the-wheel lessons. Essentially, as long as you could pass the written and behind-the-wheel test, they didn't care how you did it. If you passed, you passed. So, what are you recommendations for driving schools?

I’m not much help but my wife signed our son up at Greg’s driving school since they sponsor stuff at his school. They seem to be all over. He starts in two weeks so we’ll see…

In the meantime, I’ve been doing the parking lot thing and a few short trips on the road.

Depends on where you live.

Out western Md, we use either Widmyer or Allegany Driving School - Usually covers Wash, Allegany, and Garrett Co. About 400.00 - gets you 10 sessions - 2 hrs each virtual classroom online and 6 hours (3 x 2hr) in car. My guys have used both places. Equally satisfied with the results.

We used Silver Spring Driving Academy for my daughter. They were offering online classes as recently as last October.

Thing1 just got his license. Did the required lessons at Greg's. We had to reschedule a few due to school obligations and they were reasonable to work with. Classroom work was virtual which was a big help.


I like the Kansas way of doing this. You take lessons and once you are safe the instructor signs your permit and you go to the DMV to pick up your license.

Looks like I'm just going to do Greg's. Online is still viable for the classroom, so that's a big help

Slight hijack but does anyone know the name of the place in PA or one closer that does more extensive driving skills like a skid pad and stuff?

I thought it would be useful and fun for my son and I once he has his license and more miles under his belt.

Never know when one needs to do a j turn .

My kids are signed up for the same thing this August.

My son and my ex-girlfriend both used Greg's and both were happy with it.
