Our comment from DrivingSchools.Directory about Allegany Driving School:

Allegany Driving School provides a comprehensive and engaging approach to driver's education, as reflected in numerous positive reviews from students. Many have praised the instructors for being knowledgeable, friendly, and supportive. For instance, Ms. Kay and Mr. Lamb received accolades for their interactive teaching methods, making classes enjoyable and effective. Students appreciated the well-paced lessons that covered driving basics, with many highlighting the personal stories shared by instructors that made the learning experience relatable and relevant.

The affordability of the program is also commended, with many noting that driving sessions are included in the tuition for under $500, making it a great deal.

Despite these minor issues, the overall sentiment remains overwhelmingly positive, with many recommending Allegany Driving School as one of the best driving schools in Allegany County.

His online lectures were not only informative but also engaging and easy to follow. He has a great way of breaking down complex topics, making them simple and practical for real-world driving.

Jackson Hanser 1 year ago

Positive experience: Definitely needs to be an in class school. Nobody listens. The tests can easily be cheated on, putting ill equipped drivers on the road. Instructors are understand and kind, but drivers ed is not effective over the computer.

Fantastic experience: I loved to take the Driver's Education class with Mr. Lamb. The class was very informative and fun, easy to follow, and convenient for someone like myself who works a full time job and has to manage the rest of my life on the side. I would recommend this course to any new driver who needs to sign up for Driver's Ed.

Fantastic experience: What a great drivers Ed school! The instructors are probably some of the most friendliest people I’ve ever met! They are super flexible and understanding when you need to reschedule your in-cars. They talk you through everything on the tests you need to know and even more! The instructors try to build a relationship with each student and share some of their personal experiences which really informs the kids. Overall super happy with my experience and able to pass my driving test on the first go due to Allegany.

Fantastic experience: I had Mrs. Kay Fraser for my driving instructor and I personally loved her. She really helped break things down for us to understand and I learned so much about the road that I never knew before. Before I started this class I honestly thought I wouldn’t learn much, or it would be boring but Mrs. Kay made it interesting and not boring at all. She talked about some of her own experiences which helped us relate to her and to take what the MVA says seriously. I would highly recommend learning here, you will definitely learn tons, even if you think you know it all, I can promise you’ll learn something, and I would highly recommended asking for Mrs. Kay Fraser as your instructor!

Hannah 1 year ago

Positive experience: My experience with Allegany Driving School was fairly positive! I participated in an online driving course. I found the instructor to be well versed in Driving Basics & very understanding to class participants. It was however frustrating when the class would be interrupted due to one student being late. Perhaps Allegany Driving School would benefit from learning to better manage everyone’s time. Overall, the materials were very descriptive and I found it easy to follow along.

MegaSlimjim420 9 years ago

Negative experience: I started this class May 2nd 2016, I finished the 2 1/2 weeks of class and been waiting 6 weeks now to finish the driving part of this class. Once you finish the class work sometime within 18 weeks they'll eventually get you done driving and its not scheduled they will tell you "I'll call later tonight or in the morning" I didn't call a that night or the next morning. The owner here is rude and ignorant, on June 20th 2016 he calls me up disrespecting me, insulting me, belittling my intelligence, and blaming me for "not" having patience and for things that are not in my control. DO NOT WASTE THE $295 AT THIS SCHOOL GO ELSEWHERE.
