Topic: Driving schools

[PJ]

My oldest daughter will be 16 in 6 months and my wife and I have been discussing driving schools.  Back in the 70's when I learned to drive drivers Ed was done through the high school and the gym teacher and shop teacher taught it to make a few extra bucks.  I'm hoping for better.

Heard good things about Young Drivers of Canada years ago but nothing recently.   There's also " Joes driving school" or whatever you see driving around but I could likely teach her better.

Anyone have experience with driving schools recently?   Both beginners and advanced.

In Ontario you pay the fee for driving schools to get the sizeable insurance discount.  As for quality that would be a local thing.

YD is very good but expensive.. my experience when my boys where that age was my insurance company didn't care who did the driver ed only that they had taken it..

I wasnt thinking so much about discounts as I was quality of schools.  Driver skills are the most important safety feature and I want her to get a proper start.

It was 30 years ago, but I took YD and it was fantastic. No idea what it's like today, but it would certainly be the first place I'd look into if I had kids learning to drive.

I did too.  During March break.  Not sure I'd call it fantastic.  But it was OK.

Car was a Chevette!

A little more advanced then I was thinking to start with for her but it I'd love to take that course.

Best to become a PCA member, then just go to one of the regional clubs DE/track education days.  Way, way cheaper.
