    I took 5 lessons but did not pass the test. I was very sad and confused. Will try another school to compare and figure out what happened.

    My instructor was Angel and he was very calm and told me what I need to improve on and what would be on the test.

    I'm a Belgian national who was looking to get his California DL. A friend of mine (also foreign…read morenational) went through the same process 2 years ago and had recommended me to pass the exam at the Culver City DMV and book a 1 hour driving lesson with A1 Driving school right before the exam. The goal was to pass the exam with the driving school car. As a foreign national this is an interesting option as you do need to be accompanied by a CA Driver license holder and have a car with valid insurance/registration. She also told me to ask for Frank :-) On May 12, 2022 I did exactly that. I arrived at the school and was quickly introduced to Frank, my brand new instructor. He immediately let me sit in the car and made sure everything was set correctly - mirrors, seat, etc. for a comfy experience. He then started with the basics for the non-driving part of the exam (i.e. (hand-)signals, lights, defrosters, etc.) and we quickly made our way to the streets. I had prepared a whole list of questions regarding situations I expected to encounter during the exam. Frank was very patient and took the time to answer all of them while practicing. He also gave me excellent tips on safe behavior that examiners would be looking for (e.g. signaling on time, when and how often to look over your shoulder, tips for the backing-up maneuver, etc.) and some pointers on the tricky parts of the Culver City roads. All of which I applied during my exam, which I passed with flying colors! Before getting in line at the DMV, Frank took a quick glance at my "driver permit", which I got after passing my written exam 2.5 months ago. He noticed it had a vision restriction (as I was wearing contacts at the time) and asked about it. I had completely missed that restriction (100% my bad, I know), so I told him I had recently gone through LASIK and no longer wore contacts. Frank told me to have that restriction removed when talking to the DMV, which they did after a quick 10-sec vision test. If Frank hadn't noticed it, I would now be driving with a restricted license and get a fine each time I get pulled over. Great catch Frank :-) So overall amazing experience with A1 Driving and Traffic School in Culver City. I absolutely recommend them. Even if you're super confident (I've had a Belgian DL for over 15 years), the extra tips and tricks you get here are absolutely worth it!

From the minute I spoke to someone over the phone, they were so friendly, and prompt and scheduled a driving lesson for the next day at the most affordable price. Great first impression already! I'm a driver who already has my license but needed a refresher before buying a car and driving in LA. Chris was my driver for the day and I can't sing his praises enough. He was friendly and offered gentle guidance and correction. As someone who previously struggled with anxiety while driving, Chris created such a calm environment. I walked away feeling so much more confident in my driving abilities after not driving for such a long time. If you're like me, and your first "driving instructor" was an anxious parent who might've yelled, I recommend driving with Chris lol. It's the refreshing friendliness you need! I'll definitely recommend him and 1st Choice Driving School again. Thank you :)

They even reviewed the DMV location and potential routes for the test with him. He passed his test last week with flying colors! Both instructors were personable and professional with us. I would recommend this driving school to any teenager. The ONLY reason I did not give 5 stars is the quality of the automobiles used. The cars are very outdated and wheel alignment needs attention. That said, if you can handle their cars, you can handle anything!

    I got my driver license thanks to Westwood Driving School!…read more I was extremely nervous about taking the Behind The Wheel Test. Because It would be my third time after having bad experiences from previous exam preparations with another driving school that lots of people suggested the school to me. I don't have a car, and friends who have a car that I can practice with. I also had exam anxiety, because I failed twice before I met Westwood Driving School. Since from the beginning, everyone who works for Westwood Driving School is a friendly and professional attitude. When I explained my bad experiences about another driving school and with my friends' car, I talked to Laura on the phone, and she listened to me with patience and helped me to book for a lesson with Eduardo. After the lesson, Eduardo explained my mistakes on the paper, also on the road. He was calm and explained every detail for safe driving with great tips very well. I'll always remember those tips while I drive. I also had a lesson from Manny. He was also professional, calm and funny. Thank you to all at Westwood Driving School; you are all my angels and stars. I wish I would choose you at the very first time for taking the exam. But I am glad to take my third (also the last) try with them. I highly recommend Westwood Driving School.
