Perfection Driving School if I can remember properly. $700 for the GLP course and you get to drive a matrix oppose to the corolla!

As mentioned before, you'll get to learn in a Toyota Matrix.

Perfection Driving School
Ask for Raymond (604-433-2888)

This is my dad's driving school. He's been doing this for a long time and can help you with the GLP or just hourly lessons depending on what you need.

As mentioned before, you'll get to learn in a Toyota Matrix.

:haha: small world

You don't need a driving instructor to get your L.

[ajax]

[dogzilla]

Red Dragon Driving School of richmond, even if you fail, they have the back door, under the table scam to get you your license =).

If you failed...stay the fuck away from the street, until you are licensed...fucking cheaters! it's you people making the street dangerous...

Get a L? Go to the ICBC place in Metrodown, ask for the book :thumbsup:

And you dont even need to read most of it because it's mostly common knowledge

YoungDrivers is a major rip off.

[thumper]

i saw an asian driving on the wrong side of the road once when there was no traffic and there was a divider between the lanes im like wtf this guy could never have passed his roadtest

happened to me last week, but in burnaby, and the driver was not asian. she was waiting for the traffic light northbound on kensington to turn left onto hastings, but she was waiting in the OPPOSITE LANE. myself and several others were eastbound on hastings trying to turn right onto kensington and we were going around both sides of her car, and she was yelling at us in a language i didn't understand and pointing her finger at us as we tried to get around her. she finally got half a clue when it was the transit bus' turn :rolleyes:

[sas]

My Gf needs to learn stick, do most places supply the car? My clutch is too heavy.

[lilaznviper]

oh shit what a small world
i had him as my instructor as well
really nice guy and of course get to drive in a matrix instead of a dumb corolla that everyone is in
i paid 28 bucks an hour when i was learning with him
did 10 lessons plus 1 hour of extra practice and 1 hour b4 the test

he teaches you pretty much everything needed to get your N in 10 lessons

[HonestTea]

If you need a instructor around Burnaby/Coquitlam area

Give me a PM, need to dig his info up lol

[sputskee]

Hey, thanks revers, if there any more, please post them up.

[ilvtofu]

hey whats the pricing, i'm looking to get 1 or 2 hours of professional tutoring myself.
too many bad habits need cleaning up

[Cereal Killer]

My Gf needs to learn stick, do most places supply the car? My clutch is too heavy.

Yes they do.

[Inaii]

Can you learn in your own car?

[ilvtofu]

i guess if you buy 3 of those "duck and bear" mirrors from daiso to stick on your car, I don't see why not.

I bet no one knows what i'm talking about

[BNR32_Coupe]

How would you like to learn how to drive from a REAL pro?

Hi, I'm BNR32_Coupe! You may remember me from such threads as: "NSX, Ferrari's, Lambos chased by police on highway" and "Street racing kills less than DUI"

I'm here to offer you an exclusive membership for a chance to learn how to drive in a PRO car, from a real PRO driver. For a flat rate of $250 (plus fees, citations not included), you'll have the pleasure of 1 hours worth of the most intense, flat out, die-hard street driving techniques that will get you on the road to your class 7N!

The benefits of joining my driving school are:

1) Respectable student-driver vehicles won't leave you embarrassed

Do you really want to be seen by your friends learning in a POS like this?

http://www.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/6350205/2/istockphoto_6350205-student-driver-in-car.jpg

HELL NO! That's why I'm here to let you drive a Skyline GTR. They say the best way of learning is to start with the hardest first. That's why you'll have the pleasuring of not only learning manual transmission, but you'll be faced with the unique challenges of everything associated with a RHD, heavy-duty dual plate clutch, 590awhp, 14kg/12kg coilovers, stitch welded chassis, loud exhaust, single huge turbo.

Presently, we installed a short-throw shifter to make your driving experience more comfortable.

2) Learn safe driving techniques.

How to counter-act, and make the best out of the following:

Understeer:
http://www.mgf.ultimatemg.com/group2/suspension/chassis_and_handling/understeer.jpg

Oversteer:
http://www.mgf.ultimatemg.com/group2/suspension/chassis_and_handling/oversteer.jpg

How to get around basic corners at the fastest possible speeds, at the speed limit of course. Note that my driving school is not a race program, therefore, do not drive dangerously fast during my 1 hour lesson. Speeding on public roads is dangerous and should not be performed under any circumstances. During my 1 hour lesson, you will have 20 verbal warnings, and 10 written warnings prior to suspension of driving privileges due to racing or speeding.
http://www.simhq.com/_motorsports3/images/motorsports_079a_001.gif

How to pass people. Learn things like flashing your highbeams, waiting for a straightaway, passing from the right, utilizing left-turn only lanes to pass traffic through an intersection, and understanding why its ok to go fast on the left lane.


3) Learn proper road etiquette

Sometimes you'll encounter situations where other drivers make a mistake. At times, these can be really frustrating. In my school, you'll learn:

-How to: finger signal
-Do's and don'ts of road raging
-What constitutes as verbal abuse
-Grey area & law technicalities
-How far is too far?
-When to back off

4) Learn how to use tools on the go!

GPS? ABS? NAV? SRS? EGR? 4WS? VTEC? LIDAR?

These are all confusing terms. In my school, we'll teach you how to use the following:

How to use GPS

How to understand radar detectors

Anyways, I hope you took interest in my driving school. It's a bit sportier than other driving schools, but it is my hope that it will appeal to the younger drivers. The 4 easy steps things along with a wonderful student car will make for an excellent beginners driving experience, well deserving of the small one fees.

This is BNR32_COUPE saying bye for now

meh. depends... how much is your course? my one and near-fatal experience with a twinplate clutch was an epic fail (1990 gt-r, hks twinplate, and one speedbump). but i'm willing to practice at someone else's expense :thumbsup:

I would give a "thanks" to the post except it seems our thanks are limited to only 1 per day now, but that was some pretty epic shit lol

[sputskee]

Burnaby route is easy.

Just watch out for the school zone and gun it on the highway.

Aren't you the guy that drove into a ditch?

ROFL -

[CorneringArtist]

Young Drivers is a fucking ripoff. I took the in-class courses back in April, and I get my first fucking lesson THIS WEDNESDAY for stick- TWO MONTHS after the classes.

I should look into Perfection for brush-up lessons and maybe EVOX's dad for some prep before my N test (family has no car, so all I have are the lessons)

[BNR32_Coupe]

Aren't you the guy that drove into a ditch?

I took advice from a mentally challenged car enthusiast. Apparently R32's drive themselves

^ Stay on the fxcking topic.

why did the dude that sai wilson driving school got flagged and banned?

Thanks in advance guys

Any school that teaches left lane for passing is a school i support.

[monkeywrench]

My dad's an instructor based in Richmond and Vancouver. If anyone needs anything PM me!

[pk_volt]

For N, it's definitely worthwhile to get in a few driving classes. My driving instructor was also an examiner, so she knew all the routes, what to look for, and most common things people fail on. PS: I also took my test at the burnaby branch.

Class 5 is definitely wayy more chill. I drove a standard and the examiner made me stop on that steep ass hill on Boundary and Hastings... ALMOST stalled! I even missed a speed limit zone, but she kindly reminded me and said I got off lucky, and said if I has missed it a second time, I would've failed lol.

anyways, if you're interested in the driving instructor that I learned from, pm me.

[FerrariEnzo]

Word of Advice,

GO Legit or Take the Bus!

Young Drivers is probably the most reputable... but probably a lot more too..

[twitchyzero]

any driving school that teaches how to drive a stick with a reasonable rate? (no YD pls)

i only know a few friends that drive manual and it's either luxury cars or heavily modded cars so I don't wanna ask. I already know all the basics from using the G25 so I can probably pick it up in less than 30 min:noob:
