Private Driving Lessons vs. Drivers Ed

Quote:  Dylan from Carmel, NY on 5/1/16

Golden Crown Instructor:  “How was drivers ed?”

Dylan:  “Drivers ed was a complete wast of time.  I didn’t take drivers ed to learn to drive.  I only took drivers ed to get my senior license at 17.  I came to Golden Crown to learn to drive.”

Golden Crown driving instructors take students to their road test almost every day. Golden Crown driving instructors are experts on what is expected of the student for their road test.

No pick up at homes and each student is assigned driving times.

Each driving lesson is geared toward the student’s needs and customized to their requests.

One size fits all approach. Group lessons are tough to customize and the instructors stick to basic driving.

Vs.

Little to no advanced driving with no highway practice available.
