Disappointed with my experience…read more About a year ago, I paid $170 through the school's website for a driving practice session. The session lasted only about 1 to 1.5 hours. We drove around, the instructor gave me some tips for the road test, and we went to the area where the road test takes place. I did not take the road test that day. I was surprised by the $170 charge because I felt it was a very high price for the service I received. I would appreciate an explanation from the school regarding why I was charged $170 for this service and what exactly the charge included. I recommend that anyone considering this school confirm the exact price and all included services before making a payment.

I do not even know how to express my frustration with this sad excuse for a driving school. I could…read moretalk about the classes themselves, but I can't; I never got to join them. The first time I signed up, I was told I would receive a Zoom link for the online classes. That link never came, and I was dropped from the class. I then decided to contact Sam's Driving School to let them know about their mistake. In the end, the very rude lady I spoke with on the phone refused to give me a refund, so as a "compromise," my classes were just rescheduled. Today (6/29/2026) was supposed to be the start of classes once again. I have the link, I join the class, and I happily wait. The camera on my laptop wasn't working. I tried everything I could-and I mean everything to turn my camera on. Panic ruptures throughout my body; the host tells me I will be dropped from the course (AGAIN) if my camera is not on. In the end, I was not able to get my camera working. Later, I discuss the whole ordeal with my sister, who then checks Sam's Driving School's policies. On the website, there is a section that goes over what could get a student dropped from a class- lo and behold, nowhere does it say having your camera off is an offense. Sam's Driving School is lazy, sketchy, and pathetic. Never in a million years would I ever recommend this hog house to anyone.

Google reviews were great, reviews here were poor, I went with Google's. Big mistake…read more Purchased a single driving lesson for "extra practice" for my teenage daughter. Called the office to explain exactly the driving skills we wanted the instructor to focus on and asked them to note that with the instructor. We arrived early at the Bethesda office. Office was closed with a sign saying their instructors will meet you there if you have a scheduled lesson. When the lesson time came and went, I called the first posted phone number, which was out of service. Not a good sign. The second number was answered, and we were then contacted by the instructor who had parked on the street outside -- the first of multiple communication issues. The instructor had no idea why we had scheduled a lesson. Compared to "the competition" in our area (the one with ex-cops, which we previously used), the instructor was unfriendly and unwelcoming --- not a good thing with a new, un-confident driver. After the lesson, my daughter told me that the instructor hardly gave her feedback while she was driving, gave her turn and other directions at the last second, and told her to slow down instead of speeding up to be closer to highway speed when she was merging onto the highway. When she first entered the car, the instructor was playing loud talk-radio. When my daughter asked if he could turn it off (at least she had the sense not to be playing talk-radio during a driving lesson); he turned it down, not off, until she asked again. I don't expect miracles from a driving school, but we know from experience that Habesha's service and professionalism was far below the competition.

I cannot say enough good things about IDriveSmart. They taught my two stepkids to drive in high…read moreschool and then when this middle aged, city dwelling mama moved to the suburbs, I ended up calling them too. I had originally paid $800 for private lessons with another school who didn't teach me to drive at all (after 7 private hours of in car lessons, I still didn't know how to reverse!) but ended up redoing my entire program with idrivesmart. When I explained what had happened to me to my instructor on my first day, he had me do nothing BUT reverse for an hour to make sure I felt comfortable. This driving school has created 3 safe, confident drivers, including me, even though I was very scared of driving. The instructors are professional, serious, and thorough and do an amazing job. I can't recommend this company enough. It's not cheap but you get what you pay for and in this case, it's retired + off-duty police officers who will teach your kid (or adult) how to drive SAFELY. I've been on the road for a few months now and I wish more people would go to a school like this.

His teaching style is clear, patient, and practical--he focuses on real-world driving techniques that prepare you not only to pass the CDL exam but also to drive safely and professionally afterward. Mr. Safe is extremely accessible and easy-going, always making time for his students. He works tirelessly every day until 7pm to ensure no one is left behind. Beyond being a skilled instructor, he is a kindhearted, genuine gentleman who truly cares about the success of his students. His professionalism, encouragement, and deep knowledge of CDL requirements made the entire process smooth and stress-free. A special mention also goes to his assistant Jimmy, who is a great man as well--always supportive, respectful, and ready to help students succeed. Together, they create a very welcoming and motivating environment. Because of their guidance, I passed the Virginia CDL exam and now hold my CDL license. I highly recommend CDL Safe Driving Academy to anyone serious about getting their CDL. If you want instructors who are patient, dedicated, and sincerely invested in your success, Mr. Safe and his team are the best!
