I passed my driving test

I passed my driving test, but the guy who did my test was super rude. His attitude was very arrogant, and the way he explained things was really disrespectful. I've sent people here before, but I definitely won't be doing that again. Really bad experience.

Tim and Byron were awesome

Tim and Byron were awesome and super encouraging. I first tested with Tim but i fail by only one mark! Tim made sure i knew exactly what went wrong and that i could retest any time the next day. Byron was the instructor that passed me, he made sure to tell me what i still needed to improve upon and encouraged me to keep practicing even if i now have a license. great experience all around!
