stalbert Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 you don't need a driving school, just find a driving coach and take private lessons, much cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curi0user Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 you don't need a driving school, just find a driving coach and take private lessons, much cheaper. Disagree, people need to know road rules inside out before they get on the road. None of my friends knew them, I knew them like the back of my hand since I was that one nerd paying attn in class lol. I didn't hesitate or ask "can I do that" questions with my instructor the entire time, it went by so much smoother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't hesitate or ask "can I do that" questions with my instructor the entire time, it went by so much smoother. I agree with this. There are already far too many people who don't understand/follow the basic rules of the road (merging while in the intersection, using turning signals, STOP sign.., speed limits, second differential in following time to allow proper braking space &c). You're driving the rest of your life (most likely), pay the money..it is worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoenixFlare500 Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 You guys are talking like everyone you see on the road knows nothing about driving while you do. Everyone that takes driver's ed knows what a turn signal is. They just choose not to follow the rules. Statistically speaking, you guys probably will end up like that too (just wait for that one time you make a rolling stop). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I legitimately feel that alot of people dont know a few things here and there. And while its okay to forget little rules (especially since people never practice them) I dont agree with not even learning them to begin with. Thats a whole other stage of lazy and dangerous.

futurepediatric Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Young Drivers of Canada I second Young Drivers of Canda I did it with them and had an awesome experience! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryke22 Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 I also second Young Drivers I'm fond of saying, if everyone drove as well as I did, we wouldn't need insurance! lol ... I jest of course! But in all honesty I felt that YD helped me gain confidence for the driving tests and driving in general! (I didn't do YD in Toronto but am assuming it will be the same quality as where I did it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
writergirl333 Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 One of the best with really senior instructors with tons of experience is CSS at Yonge and Eglinton. Equivalent prices to Young Drivers but run by someone who helped develop the defensive driving courses taught to the police. Near the subway!

FrenchToast Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Young Drivers teaches you many valuable things such as: (a) Always park in a pull-through spot near a light ( How to make as few left turns as possible when you are delivering pizzas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehumanmacbook Posted April 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Thanks guys signed up with Young Drivers. Pretty scared in the car at first but it's getting better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ploughboy Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 You guys are talking like everyone you see on the road knows nothing about driving while you do. Have you driven in Toronto lately? The incompetent began outnumbering the competent years ago. To OP - don't worry about driver's ed. Just go up to the MTO office in Bancroft, do a quick spin around the block with the examiner and you'll get your licence. Then it will be a fun "choose your own adventure" when you head out on the 401. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medhopeful64 Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Bumping up an old thread here...I'm currently in the GTA but will be moving to Guelph soon. I was wondering if anyone knows of a really good driving instructor (not school) either here in the GTA or in Guelph (for the G2 exit road test). Thanks.
