Great experience!!!

I wanted everyone there at Bill's Driving School to know what a great experience we had when we got Larry Peterson to instruct our 16 year old daughter, Kendra, who had never driven before. As her Dad, I was hoping I could persuade the instructor to let me ride along for all six hours, and was happy that Larry Peterson not only made me welcome... but he said that he always advises parents to come so they can be prepared for the many hours that they will be training their child in preparation for the license test ! I learned so much too, as some things have changed since I did my test some years ago ! I must say how important it was to have the instructor's vehicle with both brake, and gas pedal on the instructor's side as well ! I'm convinced that Larry would be able to actually drive the car from his position in the passenger seat ! I am an Alcohol, and Drug Counselor who's worked extensively with teens, and I saw immediately that Larry Peterson had the patience, calm, and communication skills needed to work with teens under stress ! He utilized slogans to help her learn specific skills that she'll need to focus on in split second situations, and had other teaching skills that go along with his mature approach. Larry was always concerned with Kendra's confidence, and reduced her natural fear with reassurance, and a light-hearted approach even when she made mistakes ! I have, and would recommend Larry Peterson to anyone. Thank You for having Larry as an employee ! Sincerely, Peter V

Recommend to all my friends

I loved working with Pan! His instruction was very easy to follow. When I was doing something wrong he would correct me and I never did the same mistake twice! I have become a much better driver because of him. I will recommend him to all of my friends for sure!

""Bill is tremendous! His has helped my daughter a great deal, as well as myself. After driving for over 30 years, you pick up bad habits and riding along with them has helped me correct some of my own inaccuracies. I like how he teaches with repetition and he has much more insight than anyone I know. He also explains why he’s telling you to do certain things and encourages with positive reinforcements. I wouldn’t change anything about our experience. We are very happy and my daughter is now confident in her driving abilities. We are so impressed with Bill that we will use Bills Defensive...

I would refer anyone needing driving lessons!

“A family friend referred us to Bill and we had a wonderful time! Bill was very thorough when explaining what to do, and not only what, but WHY she needed to do it. My daughter did great and has been doing well ever since. She is applying the things she learned from Bill and is improving every time we practice. I even learned a lot of new information! We cant wait for our next lesson and have been recommending Bill to all of our friends and family too!”

We are so thankful !

“It went wonderfully! This is our second child to use Bill‘s Driving School and we’ve always had great experiences. Our daughter was a little nervous at first, but Bill helped ease her fears. She is doing great and we have Bill to thank for that!” Mrs. S.,

We can’t thank you enough! We now have two daughters who have successfully passed their driving tests after going through Bills Defensive Driving School. Bill is a definite professional.
He incorporates skill and ease in his communication with his students. In an aura of control and safety, Bill uses consistency and repetition to focus the student on the primary techniques of safe driving. We also appreciate the entire staff’s flexibility in helping us schedule appointments. Thanks again!

We are extremely pleased with the lessons we received for our teenaged son. Bill was patient and knowledgeable, and the lessons were fun. He also understands that a driver needs to experience rush hour, crowded traffic, pedestrians, and curvy roads. His vehicle also has both brake AND accelerator on his side. He also encourages parents to accompnay him and the student on the lessons. Watching him teach made us better instructors for the remaining 50 hours of instruction that we were responsible for. I know I re-learned a thing or two! I recommend Bills Defensive Driving School - it's...
