I have had a fantastic experience working with Lenny at Cindy Cohen Driving School…read more I learned how to drive as a teenager with multiple instructors and got a license. After a many year hiatus from driving, I took driving lessons with three driving schools, the third of which was Cindy Cohen. My experience at Cindy Cohen was terrific, far better than all the others I had both as a teenager and over the last few years. Scheduling lessons was easy, and there were no sudden cancellations. Lenny, the instructor I worked with, was amazing--far better than any other instructor I have ever worked with. He gave me detailed feedback at every part of my lesson, including compliments on what I did well and specific suggestions for how to improve. I have never before gotten such thorough feedback from an instructor. He also asked me about specific skills that I wanted to work on and incorporates them into the lesson. After 3 lessons with Lenny, I both feel much more confident behind the wheel and have specific ideas for how to further improve as a driver. I would give Lenny my highest recommendation as a driving instructor.

My youngest son recently completed his driving lessons with Kris, and from day one, Kris was professional, patient, and incredibly encouraging. He prepared him for what he truly needed to know as a driver, gave him tips for various areas of driving, and even took him for a practice run on the driving course! My son looked forward to each lesson, and he passed his driving test on the first try--thanks in large part to the excellent instruction he received. I highly recommend Kris to any parent looking for a trustworthy and skilled driving instructor for their teen. Thank you, McCracken Driving School!

Kirk Wade was awesome. I received my first speeding ticket in nearly 20 years for going over the 25…read moremph limit. I pleaded not guilty in hopes of avoiding points on my license, and the judge suggested I attend driving school. Unsure of what to expect, I met Kirk and immediately found him personable and down to earth. We chatted about his business and my occupation. He was surprised to learn that despite my build--more like an NFL offensive lineman than an NBA player--I am a college professor. Kirk explained the driving course to me, which felt like retaking my driver's exam from when I was 17. I drove through the course, which included the Washington Driver's License Center, the Home Depot parking lot, and public roads. Confident I had done well, I was surprised when Kirk told me I had failed the test four times. However, he added that I was the closest to passing he had seen in a long time and noted that no adult has ever passed the test. My mistakes included pulling over the white line at stop signs and going 5 mph over the speed limit in the parking lot. These errors, along with my initial speeding ticket, highlighted the importance of paying attention to the details. Kirk emphasized how much time and money I had spent dealing with the ticket, magistrate visits, driving school, and other related tasks, teaching me the value of punctuality and attention to detail. Our conversation was enlightening, and I am grateful for the experience as it opened my eyes to better driving habits. Since the training, I no longer speed, despite the middle fingers and honking I receive from other drivers. I even discussed having Kirk teach my daughter how to drive, as I believe it would be more effective than if my wife or I did it. After completing the 90-minute session, I drove the course five more times and am now confident I can pass. I look forward to doing it again, knowing I've got it down.

What a terrible experience with the Ultimate Defensive Driving School and the owner James Clair…read more I'm not a great driver; I speed, I roll through stop signs, I am that jag off that cuts you off. But I've never been in an accident (fingers crossed!) and I've managed to sweet talk my way out of tickets. I decided that with the prospect of having kids staring me down the barrel, I should learn good habits and actually better my driving. My own attempts have been in vain. The SEO (aka, the best google results) were for the Ultimate Defensive Driving School. I elected not to contact other schools as this one proudly stated it was Veteran Owned. Hey! I've got a family of veterans and I'm marrying one soon. Seemed like a great fit for me. I sent them an email; heard a prompt reply to call them. (What? Why? Is this 1984?) So I did, spoke to the receptionist, spoke to the owner. He asked, I answered questions about my situation. He told me he'd get back to me with a schedule of availability and rates and times, etc. A full day later, I received an email saying "It's $150 for one 90 minute session". I replied asking for time slots available, as I work from home 4 days/week. I also made a joke about how that's pricier than my attorney, would he be willing to work with me given the winter season is a slow time and my flexible schedule? I offered to pay for 3 sessions in advance A nasty, angry reply immediately was in my inbox from James. "No, we don't discount or negotiate. It would cheapen our services". And then, a sarcastic middle finger statement of "Best of luck in your training". Sounds like somebody's got a case of the PTSD Mondays............. UPDATE: 9/21/15 Owner's comment is below. He is challenging the veracity of my statements - as in, calling me a liar. I am more than willing to post screenshots of the emails to validate my statements - being told to call, then getting an email in response to my call and his sarcastic reply. My husband is an honorably discharged veteran; as per my earlier review, that's why I chose to go with them in the first place.
