Go & Drive Driving School

We had a really good experience with Go and Drive recently with our son Landon. We're originally…read morefrom WA where driver's ed wasn't optional and you took it in school, so this was a new world to us booking it this way. Scheduling was easy and convenient, lots of different days and time slots to pick from. The different packages options are great for helping any level of experience driver and some include the actual road test and licensing appointment. It's one on one instruction, which I appreciated. I also liked that it was the same model car that he drove in all his sessions to help him be more comfortable. The two instructors we had, Sean and Brad, were communicative, friendly, patient, and encouraging. They really gave my son the big boost of confidence he needed for things like parking in parking lots. After every session, we had a little download about what went well, areas to work on, and how all the things related to the test. They practiced all different kinds of driving scenarios, driving defensively, the "unofficial rules of the road here in AZ" (driving here is just different, it really is) and not being distracted. Our son was able to pass on his first attempt with flying colors! Having the test and licensing appointment included was totally worth not having to make those separate trips to the DMV. We also got the driving course certificate for the auto insurance discount. I'm in the insurance business so trust me when I say, it helps a ton !! Teenagers being added to insurance comes with some hefty sticker shock. Will be using Go and Drive again when it's time for our other two kids to drive.

UPDATE: The school has offered to help with the areas my teen still needs work on and also a teen…read moredriving safety class. I appreciate the assistance very much and will update in a few weeks once the lessons have been completed. The Ultimate Package is not nearly enough practice and in my opinion - the driving test should not even be offered with this package. The first lesson was not good. I had called and told the school that my teen had barely driven before - and the first instructor was not patient and irritated that she didn't know how to adjust the mirrors. They also took an extremely long break parked in our neighborhood during the session and my teen came back from this lesson discouraged. I did contact Go and Drive and I have to say they were extremely responsive with my concerns. The instructor for the next lessons (Katie) was much better and very patient. However, if you are not comfortable driving with your teen when he/she has her permit then you need to pay more upfront and get the Pristine or Titanium package. Our teen did practice driving in between lessons but we realized near the last lesson that this was not going to be enough. This is our first teen driver in AZ, and the website description of the Platinum package makes it seem like your child will be ready to drive after a 10 hour set of lessons. FYI, ADOT requires more than this, even with the professional driving lessons (20 hours additional including 6 at night, I believe). In hindsight, I think that Go and Drive should not have even had my teen take the driver test as she clearly wasn't ready. My teen is disappointed that her Dad and I aren't letting her drive on her own for at least the next few months, even though she did pass the test. I do want to say, however, that the staff and management at Go and Drive are very responsive and communicate well. It's just discouraging that after completing the Ultimate Package, our teen still needs more practice.

Now, before you go judging my speedy excursion through the desert, realize that any day now, your…read moreluck will run out and one of the several hundred cameras all over the Valley will finally catch you. Just when your guard is down; it snap your pretty picture and you'll have to pay up, too. In which case, I would recommend the Arizona Academy of Defensive Driving, if you're eligible. Here's why: 1. I honestly expected the sort of half-assed, poorly executed service that comes from companies that survive almost solely because of govmnt. entities (much the way govmnt. offices and services are run). This company had friendly customer service when I had questions about whether or not I was eligible, and spent a good amount of time on the phone with me while I figured out which location/time/date would work for me and still keep me in check with the deadline to complete the class, and even sent me an e-mail reminder the day before my class with info reminding me where it was and what I needed to bring. 2. Apparently there is an exception for Yuma courts that criminal speeding (below a certain mph number) is still eligible for driving school. I really thought this was going to be a nightmare to set up with multiple calls back and forth from a school to the court and possibly even faxed papers from the court to the school, but it was not at all with AZADD. I did in fact call a number of schools before finding AZADD and they seemed to be clueless about this exception - weird considering it's their livelihood to be up to speed on these things (no pun intended). Well, that was if they answered the phone at all! Too many had weird hours or just a recording to leave a message. Really? This does not help your credibility, people. 3. The facility was a decent place - a meeting room of the Comfort Inn and Sweets (ha ha, I'm leaving that because when I do stuff like that, I shake my head and go "I'm an editor?" Hey, at least I proofread!) in Scottsdale. In the past I've taken class in that trashy strip mall where Yucca resides and in an abandoned school off McClintock that was equally as run down. Not to mention, the class itself was $29. Though I paid $244 total, all but $29 went to city and state fees. 4. The instructor was not using his time in front of 60+ grumpy students as a springboard to his stand-up comedy career. To be honest, the instructor did crack a few jokes, but they were actually funny, particularly when he made fun of those inevitable students who have their endless "hypothesis" questions or want to argue why a law shouldn't be a law. It is, d-bag; get over it and let's move on. 5. The instructor knew his stuff. It was impressive, really. If you've ever been to a driving class, you know there are actually a lot of myths out there about what is legal and what is not legal and vice versa. He cleared all that up and even knew why a lot of the misperceptions existed in the first place - I can honestly say I learned a lot of *useful* information. 6. The instructor knew when to breeze through a topic (i.e. how to drive in the rain or basic common sense stuff) and when to spend more time discussing shit we actually care about (i.e. do I really have to pay that camera ticket?) Traffic school already sucks, so you might was well get a good company to help you through it!

UGH!!!!! It was pure torture and I thought of every idea to…read moreget released half way through the 4 hour class. Faking a seizure only works in the movies and I refuse to pee and crap my pants to get out of class ever again. Anyhoo....I give this class five stars because it has met its objective. I no longer hit the gas when I see the po po coming. It was a nervous reaction officer and I'm on my way to Palm Springs. Please, just this one time? Nope, bam- driving school for your mister! On a side note, I strongly believe the crazies that were in this class were planted psychotics and I now disagree with every one who has made the statement "there is no such things as a stupid question." Well there is such thing and these dummies proved it. Yes, I'm looking at you Mrs. Stupid and rolling my eyes dramastically. Although you were ticketed for speeding, you ask a question about Marijuana use and if you can strap your toy poodle in the passenger seat while taking the HOV- exclaiming dogs are people too! Dogs aren't PEOPLE people, we all know better than that! You had it coming... WE ALL DID!
