Teaching Teens Collision Avoidance, by Johnny Rowlands
Isn’t that what it’s all about? Not getting that phone call that your teen has just been seriously hurt in a car wreck? As an airborne traffic reporter, from my helicopter I’ve reported on literally tens of thousands of crashes, and from that unique perspective I’ve developed a keen sense of why they occur, and more important, how they could be avoided. That’s why I made “Collision Avoidance” the cornerstone of our curriculum. My thought was, if we can teach not only the rules of the road and good driving practices, but also how to stay out of a collision, our students will be just that much safer.

Fantastic experience: They were fantastic! My son had some accommodations that were needed and they were met with no hesitation and understanding. Tim has been an amazing instructor and we are so happy we enrolled our son there. Worth every penny!

Raes Notes 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: Best decision ever for teaching my teenager to drive. She is a safe and confident driver and it's all thanks to Johnny and his staff. I was impressed with their unexpected follow up seeing how she's doing several months later. Worth every penny!

Laura Ballou Marbun 1 year ago

Negative experience: Have called multiple times and days, an no one is returning calls. I try to fill out the "contact us" form and it won't fill in any blanks. Poor customer service. I hope I get return call before driving class that is scheduled for Sat.

Deb Burns 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: My daughter had been driving for almost 6 months on her permit but she lacked confidence and really lacked enthusiasm for driving. She never wanted to do highway driving. After one lesson with Jeff, she was confident and asking to drive places. She wanted to go on the highway. She said Jeff made driving fun and explained everything really well in terms, she could understand. We did her next two lessons one right after the other and took her test directly after the third lesson. She scored a 94 and the examiner said she did an excellent job. I credit this to the driving school. They focus on exactly what they need to know. They drive the routes and the kids are well prepared with the skills needed. Well worth the funds! Thank you again Jeff!

James Hueser 1 year ago

Negative experience: My daughter paid this school nearly 500 dollars to attend a class. She got covid and was unable to attend. After leaving nonstop messages that have never been answered or returned regarding this matter we've decided to take it to court. No other choice. Thanks for the giant waste of money!

Rivkah Schaeffer 1 year ago

Negative experience: I have not taken driving lessons from this “school“ as I have been driving since the very early 2000s however, I will say that whoever is a driving instructor needs to themselves go back to school on how to drive. I witnessed a child in a vehicle with a driving instructor have the student quite literally pull in front of a semi with maybe 10 feet to spare it forced the semi-driver to suddenly throw on their brakes. This is incredibly dangerous and could’ve cost the lives of multiple people. Said child driver proceeds to spend the next 3mi either going between 60-75mph center lane.

Samir Muranjan 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: The driving instructor Brent was very patient and taught my teenager good driving habits. Very pleased with the entire experience and their ability to work with your schedule.

Romy Rol 1 year ago

Negative experience: This is the worst driving school ever , they’re scheduled is so booked up you have to wait months to month to meet with your instructor and it has to be the same one, let alone you don’t even get a refund or discount , it’s not worth the money, you might as well go to the dmv or a different driving school to get your license I recommend kckcc drivers ed

Fantastic experience: Randi (and Mark, my classroom instructor) were amazing! Randi especially was so calm and friendly and really made my lessons memorable. Mark's blunt humor was also so helpful in absorbing the information. I just got my license after 20+ years of anxiety and despair, thanks to your instructors who didn't judge me or make me feel like a failure. I understand that I paid for the privilege, but I also appreciated the candy, pizza, soda, and water at the classroom session in an air-conditioned classroom. Thank you all so, so, so much!

Brandi Snyder 3 years ago

Negative experience: You are fully aware that YOU, and not a student driver, just cut us off on the interstate putting us in an incredibly dangerous road situation. If this is how you drive you likely shouldn't be teaching others. You're a hazard to everyone's safety.

Dan 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: This driving school was perfect. The class time (although our son complained about sitting in a classroom all day) was great and he learned a lot. We took the defensive driving session and he recited different lessons while driving with me. Mark Belton was his driving instructor and was AWESOME. His calm demeanor and great pointers made my son a more attentive driver and much better and confident in parking lots. Thank you for your professional staff. I would strongly recommend Johnny Rowland's Driving School to anybody!

Fantastic experience: Mark and tim were such amazing teachers they made this whole experience as painless and uplifting as possible! Tim made the initial class day go by like a breeze and kept everything real and understandable. And Mark was such an amazing driving instructor, he kept the drives comfortable, calm, and well guided. Johnny Rowland's has made what I felt like the impossible possible and I will forever have nothing but good to say about this school!! Also ms Joan is so lovely and helpful!!

Fantastic experience: Coach Scott is very detailed and patient, a pleasure to work with. The virtual class was informational for our son and was completed with ease. Scheduling is a breeze and communication is great. This is our second child who's utilized the school.

Megan V. 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I'm a CDL driver and my son learned what we learned. At a licensing place they made him so uncomfortable that he failed and the examiner made him pull over and drove back. I had been in the car with him and everything she said I'd never witnessed. He was so upset he swore he would never drive and to sell his car he was bought. Because of Johnny Rowlands driving and Steve Ashe he completed the course and went and got his license today. Thanks Steve and Johnny and the rest of the staff for getting him confident again. I will be back with the younger kids as they are ready to drive.

Joey Ford 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: My son went through this driving school. He had a great experience working with Roger and Jim. Joan was extremely helpful, as well. They took him into much more challenging situations than I felt comfortable doing myself. He has become a very good driver.

Fantastic experience: Our daughter had a great experience at Double Team Driving School! She felt like the class was fun and engaging, and her driving experiences with her instructor, Roger, really helped her feel more comfortable and prepared behind the wheel! I appreciate Roger for giving us updates on things to work on during family driving sessions between appointments. Highly recommend!

Victoria Gibson 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: We had a good experience with this program. Roger was especially a great driving instructor and was patient and very attentive with my beginner driver.

Sean Hedenskog 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I think the school did a tremendous job. As most parents our kids have a hard time learning from us. It was nice to be able to have a way to have my daughter sit in a day long course, take three 2-hour driving sessions and come away with a certificate of completion she could take to the DMV to exchange for a license. It isn't cheap but I know she learned defensive driving tactics and I comforted by the fact that we didn't have to spend any Saturday or Sunday afternoons in the car yelling at each other. She is enjoying her new found freedom and I am grateful for the school. Highly recommend it and will be taking my other two kids there when they are of age!

Kelly Dehnert 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: We were referred to Double Team Driving School after being duped out of hundreds of dollars by Harder Driving School. Our son had only one driving lesson left before his test, but Harder closed up shop and left over 500 kids without completion of their course. Double Team Driving School went over every option with me, thoroughly, patiently, and with more understanding than I as expecting. After determining our son had enough driving experience that we did not need to enroll in another driving school, Joan again helped me navigate the next steps to take. I will be referring every family I know to Double Team Driving School. They have a true passion for new drivers and for the safety for everyone on the road.

Kyra Winslett 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I had a lot of fun with my instructor and I learned a lot in the classroom and on the road as well! 11/10 would recommend!

Kelly Ames 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Roger Carson is now an instructor for Double Team Driving School!! You know his voice from 30+ years in radio and Worlds of Fun. He has the patience of a saint and that works well here! Johnny Rowlands is the owner and only Johnny has the unique perspective of seeing drivers mistakes from the air. The curriculum is enhanced by his knowledge and examples of the mistakes he has witnessed from above for years.

Chris Mills 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Double Team Driving school. I began to teach my daughter to drive in a parking lot and you would have thought she had never even ridden in a car before. In a word she was terrible and of course she claimed I made her nervous. I may have raised my voice a little when she struck a curb in a large and completely empty parking lot. I was very nervous for her first lesson with an instructor and actually felt bad for what they were about to endure. The difference in her skill level after her first lesson was remarkable, and we could now drive on actual streets. Her confidence and skills increased dramatically after each lesson. My daughter now has her license and I will still be a nervous parent with her on the streets alone, but I am much more comfortable because of this school. Her driving instructor was Sabrina and she was excellent. I should also mention my daughter got to drive on all different types of roads and highways all over the KC metro area. Thanks Double Team Driving!

Jackie Arnold 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Double team made it easy to get my license. The classes were engaging, and Andrew was calm and put me at ease during my behind the wheel classes. I had been quite a nervous driver and am now finally getting my license.

Kenneth Keen 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Had a great time learning to drive with Andrew. I've never meant a more easy going instructor and understanding as well as he was.
