Driving Schools In Vancouver

Update: June 23, 2011 Driving Schools In Vancouver

This is a thread about driving schools and instructors in Vancouver based on personal experience and word of mouth. Please feel free to add to this thread and help other aspiring drivers know about good driving schools!

I'm not sure if there has been a thread about this yet but can you name any good driving instructors? (based on your personal experience or word of mouth) ..cause the last one i had reallyyyy sucked

Thank you

Young drivers
Both my sister and my boyfriend went to Young Drivers, and not only they teach you the basic driving skills but also teach you techniques what
you should do during emergency. I think its worth the money to get
the skills down right.

Does anyone know any other good places other than young drivers?
i dont want to get those pricy packages.. i only want to take 2 lessons for now. practice with my mom and then take couple more lessons before my road test.
and i dont want to pay more than $40/hr.

do you know if it's 900 until you get the N(how ever many times)?

There's an asian guy from AM1320... called "Chiu Lung" He's never had a student that failed in the past. I took 2 lessons from him (1 hour each) and I passed with a perfect. I think it's not that expensive.. like in the $30-50/hour range.. not hundreds of dollars. Good luck!

Definetely Young Driver's. My driving instructor was named, Margariet. I would really avoid the independent driving school's if I were you.

i'm taking classes with him right now and i think it's $40 ish/hr. he's really cool haha. i definitely DON'T recommend fraser driving school. my dad HAD to listen to one of his "friends" and that's why i went there...and failed my road test.

My instructor is really nice and patient. He explains thing really well too. I always thought parallel parking would be sooo difficult, but now, it's the thing that I'm best at. If you want his number, you can PM me and I'll send you an email. If you don't have a PM function, let me know on this thread.

edit: He charges $30/hour. He's not one of those teachers that rip you off, sometimes we go over the time by accident and he still charges me the same.

Yeah he's one of the older dj's...

Hey! i still dont have the pm oprtion. so do u mind giving me his number? please and thank you.

laughing.machine, you can email me at [email protected] and I'll email you back the info. Put the subject as "Driving Instructor" before you hit send so I know it's not junk mail.

Annie =), PM'd you!


BTW, sometimes he doesn't answer his phone if he's teaching, so keep trying.

how do i get in contact with this fella and where is he based in?? i have backing-in issues, that need resolved PRONTO

I'm in need of driving instructors too.
Anyone have any good suggestions?

Please login or register to view links - the one you mentioned... do you know a way where I can contact him?

my instructor name is howard and he charges 30/hr

Mine is too!
He's Chinese and can speak Vietnamese

I have him today again!
--------------
He's really laid back, so I recommend him!
I think I crashed into the curb and he didn't complain or anything, he said it's fine. Which is nice and he's really careful, so he will make you park the car and practice your turning the wheel skill!!

hahaha yeah him i have him every sunday for a hour

but ive been taking alot of lessons from him for a while now sighhhh
i cant parallel park arghh so hard for me

and then i cant practice at home cuz my mommy wont let me drive her car so she rather pays for me to take lesson and practice from them

Hey, I was wondering this...let's say I crash Howard's car...
I wouldn't be able to get my N until...2 years after right?
OR...is he the one at fault?
I'm hearing different things from my parents WHO HAD HIM TOO lol hahahah

I can't do that 3 point turn...I do 2 days a week. It's been 4 hours so far with him.
And I go too fast...the needle always goes to 60km/hr =/
