I have been trying to get my license for months, I have scheduled all 3 of my driving times multiple times and I was canceled on for all 3 times. The cancellation was the morning of, every time. But if I cancel the morning of, I have to pay 30 dollars. I just want to get my license, it shouldn't be this hard and I keep having to delay it because of anshor.

I don't remember the name but the way she treated my daughter during her test is unacceptable. Grabbing the wheel, not giving her time to react cause the wheel was all the way cranked, not listening to her when she said she couldn't see over the hood, and since she couldn't she went passed the line at the stop sign and she docked points off. Then proceeded to have an attitude when my daughter couldn't find the trunk button cause it was a new car for her. I believe her name was Chris or Kris I don't remember fully.

Let me first say Mr. K Smith is a kind informative instructor. I felt very terrified and nervous taking my driving test but Mr. K helped calm me down and stay relaxed. He told me the steps of the driving lesson making sure I understood. During the driving test I followed each direction making sure safety was key as well, It was fun. I recommend going here either for classes or driving, instructors are really nice. Best experience I had, don't be afraid just take the giant leap I believe in you.
