I am already driving 35 mph for a 35 mph speed limit. He overtake me and speed up like 50 to 60 mph seems like he's on a hurry. Then i cope up with him on a stop or red light. So i took a picture of the car because it belongs to your Adams Driving School. I was really surprised the way that driver driving your company car that night,why drives so fast? You are a driving school, people working in your company should set a good example especially i have an 11 yr old son who soon needs a driving school. You tell me would your company be good for him?

I had a great experience with Top Driver.

This is the best experience I have had with any driving school. I want to especially thank Lee for his encouragements, teachings, and early morning pickups (he always arrived 15 minutes early, always super on time and organized). The school is pretty popular despite lack of reviews, so not much room to choose time slots but if you are flexible and looking for a good place to learn driving (and pass the test in no time with flying colors) then I would give top driver a try. Make sure you understand how many hours you need to practice and how much practice you will be having with your family's car, so that it will give you a better idea of how many lessons you want. Good luck

I've never written a negative review of any business before - operating instead under the belief…read morethat if I don't have something positive to say I won't say it. But these issues I will be taking to the BBB because I believe Top Driver is deceptive. The good is that my daughter enjoys and is learning from her classroom teacher and loved her driving instructor the one time she was able to get a lesson. Unfortunately she had to miss a classroom lesson in April and they didn't have a makeup for her until mid-August. Classes just too full in every location. Driving sessions are impossible to schedule. When they are released each month you can hover above your keyboard at the minute they open scheduling and sessions are immediately booked for the month. I called to inquire about this and the operator indicated this is a running issue and said they have hundreds of students vying for these spaces and wouldn't tell me how many instructors and cars per location. I asked for a manager to call me back for some clarification days ago and have yet to be contacted. How we will get the 8 hours of lessons in that we paid for I have no idea.

When my son does the drives, he gets good feedback during the drive as well as a write up afterward that I can review with him and know what to work on at home. I want to give them 5 stars but scheduling individual drives has been extremely tough to get. I understand that Covid created an issue with getting folks scheduled and actually hosting drives; however, from a user experience it has been frustrating trying to get on the schedule.

For the price we paid, the whole experience with this driving school was horrible. First, for the…read moreclassroom portion, the teacher would come late, let the kids out early, and give them a twenty-minute break every day. So, a class that was supposed to be 2 hours turned into an hour and twenty minutes. Not to mention everything is out of date. The books we are given are out of date by about 3 years and some of the rules are different, but the videos they watched looked to be about 10 years old and from another state where the laws are different. Now for the on-the-road portion. Today, I came from my LAST lesson very upset. My instructor, Mr. W, would constantly make snappy remarks at me. It's a LESSON. He's supposed to teach me; not to yell when I don't know something I haven't done before. Like today, when I was learning U-turns, 3-point turns, and 2-point turns and he was getting really frustrated when I didn't grasp it right away. That's just one of many examples. First, he told me to pull into a gas station, which I had barely done before. He snapped and told me to pull into the other entrance (which I didn't even know I had to do). After pulling in, he snapped again for me to pull around the pumps because I went too far (he didn't tell me to stop). After turning, I pulled forward and he yanked the steering wheel to turn and yelled at me and said, "What are you doing!", even though he didn't even tell me what to do in the first place. After pumping gas and I left the gas station, he called me something along the lines of a horse on wheels. Later, I had to do a tight turn at an intersection with another car, but I felt completely in control. He thought otherwise and harshly stopped the car and snapped again. Again, at stoplights, I wanted to turn right. He told me to turn even though it was a red light. I said, "But it's no turn-on red. Oh, wait! Only when pedestrians are present." So, I understood right away. This was still unacceptable to him and he snapped again and harshly told me I needed to read signs. I was literally pulling into the lane. I started to turn maybe 15 seconds later. It's not that big of a deal; I was just trying to be safe. I also hesitated because, in a previous lesson, he snapped at me for turning on-red even though I knew I could. So I didn't know if he made a mistake or not again. Later on, at a neighborhood intersection where there weren't any stop signs, I slowed down because I wanted to be safe. He snapped AGAIN and told me to not do that because there "clearly" wasn't a stop sign there. I just wanted to be safe because a few minutes before he told me to stop. Not to mention, as I was driving, he was like, "Keep driving, I'm just going to fix something" while reaching over and changing the dashboard settings. He was obstructing my vision and just told me to keep driving. Earlier, we heard good things about him. But, my mom and I agree that he's no longer patient enough to teach lessons. He told my mom I panicked too much. But, the truth is, it's him who's panicking and doesn't even give me a chance to try. I had lessons with two other instructors, and there weren't issues and I was told I'm a really good driver. But Mr. W is truly too old and impatient and creates problems that weren't problems to begin with.

I signed up for one design but they are very flexible on what designs you do when you are there, you just have to use the board you signed up for. They also have lazy Susan classes. I saw that they previously did a Chicago bears logo class so I asked to do that and they printed me the picture to trace. The class was 3 hours and it took us the whole time. You have to be patient when wood burning. I really liked my final art! We were provided with instructions on how to take care of it and washing instructions so we can use it with food. I like that it is BYOB! The owner, Krystina, led our class. She was so friendly, patient, and provided great instructions. I'm addicted to wood burning! I will definitely be back!
