Default Driving schools in the area..

Hey guys, I turned 16 in January, and im getting my license soon. I was just wondering if there were any driving schools in the nova area? I know the FFX police hold one, but any others?

Thanks. Also, some info on the FFX police one is welcome.

i did mine through AA Advantage, got it done quick through double sessions, and they were able to start right away. i know Keith's is good but i've known people who have to wait awhile, i believe they are all around the same price as well.

I dont NEED to go to a driving school, i want to.

Im not talking about behind the wheel, im talking about an actual class that teaches you different things. Heh, dont really know how to say it. Like what to do in different situations, and also a school that teaches you some techniques and stuff.

You're talking about defensive driving classes and advanced driving manuever classes (aka stunt driving classes that teach you how to do 180s, 360s, J-turns, etc.) right? If so, Summit Point up in West Virginia offers the stunt driving/defensive driving classes that various police departments and people use. Regardless of who you choose though for this advanced manuever classes, your going to be behind the wheel executing these moves...not just in a classroom looking them over and discussing how they work. You learn this stuff by practicing it.

If Summit Point doesn't work for ya, Skip Barber holds these sort of classes at various racetracks up and down the East Coast. Also, BMW has a really nice class on defensive driving and stunt driving focused right at new drivers at their Spartanburg, SC facility.

I should also mention that these classes are not cheap by any means. Honestly, if you're 16, you should focus on just learning how to drive in a congested area full of mostly idiots and bad drivers instead of trying to immediately go out and learn all sorts of advanced moves.

well what the fuck do you mean by "driving school"


you have to be the biggest idiot i've heard of judging by that explaination...different situations and stuff? also some techniques...not just behind the wheel? what the hell are you talking about?!

invest in some english composition classes. you need to learn how to express yourself verbally first, then come back and ask the question.
