Buggin and Cruisin Driving School

Several months ago I started asking around about people’s experiences with driving schools. I wanted to know if they are beneficial or if people prefer the ol’Dad method of teaching kids to drive. The opinions split — some people were praising the schools, others were satisfied with their parents teaching them. With my polling efforts producing inconclusive results, I took my daughter to the nearby parking lots, but I always felt that maybe I am not going over some important techniques, helpful hints and tips and the look of terror in my eyes is not helping her confidence. So in a rare move I actually paid money for something I could otherwise get for free.
In the end, I am very satisfied and I feel like they did a lot better job than I ever could. I looked around several schools on the Kansas side, they were close price-​wise, one school had many negative reviews, so I picked the one closest to us (it had since moved, check website). Buggin and Cruisin had some complaints about people having hard time scheduling classes. I called the owner and he assured me that he limited the number of students to prevent the scheduling issues from ever happening again. This turned out to be true and we had no problem picking a class that worked for us. During winter break the classes were scheduled on weekdays, and when the school is in session they have evening and Sunday drives. As a result it took my daughter less than 3 weeks to finish the course at a leisurely pace when it was convenient for us. I feel like she got a great base, and all the things I was sure to gloss over were pointed out and introduced to her.
So the pro’s are:
comprehensive driver’s ed
punctuality-​my daughter was always picked up perfectly on time
confidence in my daughter’s driving
they taught her skills I am not that good at –like parallel parking
I didn’t die from a heart attack
she won’t have to take a driving test
insurance discount
con’s:
there is only one — she now reprimands me when I do something wrong.
Overall — money well spent.
