Drivers Edge

Fantastic experience: The most comprehensive driving school there is, with a superior pass rate upon examination. Even better people!

Fantastic experience: I can only say these guys are the BEST. They were accommodating with scheduling, super organized and informative. Not only that, even after my daughter completed course, got her permit and 9 months later was about to take road test, Danny made time for an extra “confidence boosting” tune up lesson. And I’ll tell you, it helped!!!! Not only did she pass her exam, but the examiner praised her on her knowledge and driving! Hands down recommend these guys if you want to learn, be safe and PASS the road test!

Fantastic experience: My son did very well with this course!! Extremely pleased

Fantastic experience: I can not say enough positive things about Drivers Edge. The owners Dan and Julie are the best! I sent my two boys together, one of my boys has some learning disabilities and I had my concerns on if he could drive! I walked in early on day one with my million questions. They never made me feel rushed or that any of my concerns were stupid. Instead they comforted me and my son and reassured us he would do well! He was extremely nervous and I prayed he would want to return. After the first class I picked both boys up and they were both all smiles. Class work was great and Driving was amazing! They worked with my schedule and was able to pick one up right at school and then I met them locally with my second son right after!! It went super seamless!! Test day was another very anxious day as my oldest sons does not do well with tests. Again I showed up early and talked it over with them. They made me and him feel completely at ease. Both boys passed!! I can not thank them enough and I can not imagine taking them anywhere else!! So professional !! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Negative experience: Our daughter paid for the program to be taught how to drive and she waisted her money. The class time was good. The driving time she was not taught much at all. The driver Ed coach did the braking for her. When we started riding with her she had no clue about when to brake and distance. What lanes to be in when coming to an intersection to make a turn. You need to give the car more gas to make it up a hill. We are teaching her everything while she has her permit. We feel bad she waisted her money.

Fantastic experience: I can not nor do I have enough words to describe how absolutely AMAZING Tricia is, from the very first time I spoke with her on the phone she was amazing. We live in Glen NH which is an hour and 15 minute drive from the school and it was worth every drive there and back. You would be doing yourself and child a favor by participating in this program. Drivers Ed is stressful enough but this was not a stressful situation at all. My son absolutely adored her and was honestly a little sad it was over just cause he wouldn’t see Tricia anymore. The price is great, instructing is great nothing bad to say. Absolutely wonderful even if it’s a little out of your way it’s 1000% worth it.

Positive experience: So, I just got my permit. Here's what I think about Driver's Edge. First off, it's very hard to do poorly in this course. After you complete the worksheets, the instructor(s) go over them with the class. Not only do they allow you to fix errors, they also have you highlight every question that will be on the final test, making studying a breeze and allowing you to easily pass with flying colors. Furthermore, the location is phenomenal. Since the classroom is right next to Wicked Brew, students have easy access to a quick pick-me-up when break time comes around. Also, food is readily available inside the classroom as well. However, there are some things about Driver's Edge: While we're still in the classroom, the instructor(s) will sometimes talk over the videos they're showing. Because of this, it's hard to get information from either source because the noises overlap each other. Other than that, there's not much else to the classroom. In regards of driving an actual vehicle, I have quite a bit to say. As ancient as they are, the school has picked an appropriate selection of vehicles for students to drive. They are small and easy to control, albeit some of them are a little creaky. Now, Ive only driven with four different instructors, so I can't speak for everybody. But, about the instructors: I appreciate the slow build-up that the instructors take when it comes to transitioning from a parking lot to bustling traffic. When I took my 10 hours of driving, I barely noticed that I was in traffic until I was driving myself back to the Airport Mall, yet I was still completely aware of my surroundings! Some people tend to complain about the instructors going into off topic conversations about things like their personal life during the driving appointments, but I believe that this is helpful. You're going to be talking to your passenger 9 times out of 10 when you eventually get your license, so it's a good idea to start practicing now. I won't point fingers, one of the instructors was especially mentally tiring. Because they were always on egde and laying on their brake, this tired me out to the point of almost driving off the road, so I had to take a quick break. Another instructor, however, was especially laid back. Many other students appreciate this instructor's mellow attitude, and I can see why. They did have to use their breaks from time to time, but mostly, they just taught students how to slow down more efficiently, for example. All the other instructors I've driven with weren't too notable, mostly because I only had a single hour with one and the other one was... "Meh." To conclude, Driver's Edge is strong in some places and needs work in other areas. The curriculum was easy as pie and was mostly enjoyable. The actual driving, however, is variable depending on who the instructor is. Likely, you're going to have an easy drive with your instructor. Other times, not so much, especially at night. For these reasons, I'll give Driver's Edge 3 stars, the curriculum was easy, albeit unchallenging. The driving appointments we're mostly able to be completed with minimal effort, and the location was just right, especially to those who attend John Bapst.

Fantastic experience: Very glad we found this driving school! The staff is great and accommodating, especially Sally, one of the driving instructors. She gave great tips to help us continue driving with our teens with confidence. Highly recommend this school, in particular if there are concerns with coordination and being attentive on the road.

Fantastic experience: Excellent experience! Very professional. I used another driving school for my two oldest children and now this driving school for my next two children. This is by far the best.

Fantastic experience: Knowledgeable and patient instructors. Great on site classroom, very well maintained. Flexible schedules for fitting in my driving time. Had the feel of a family business. Would recommend to anyone, looking for a great teaching experience at a very fair price.

Negative experience: Pros: - Get's the job done - They will give you exactly what questions will be on the test Cons: - They never respond to calls. - They mess up schedules a lot and you will have a good chance at missing the first class. - Instructors get side-tracked and talk about irrelevant things, personal life, etc. - They don't get the class involved - Makeups are very hard to coordinate, instructors usually have an excuse for either being late or not showing up at all. - Every class is the same: Introduction, video, worksheets, video, talking, and then highlighting in the book. Other schools do drive simulations, crash simulations. Conclusion: This was a last choice school because all the others didn't have openings until the fall and I would rate this one star but because we ended up with a legal permit I guess it was worth it. But this schools remains inferior to the others in the area.
