Roadrunner Driving School

My son took the driver’s education course at Roadrunner and completed his behind the wheel training there as well. I believe that the classroom driver’s education class was more effective for him than the online course. Regarding the behind the wheel training, my son had a very positive experience with his instructor. He successfully passed his permit and license test the first time!

Please be warned. This otherwise decent school has changed the policy on their classes with little notice.
Prior to taking a license test you must drive for around 6 months. 6 hours of instruction is required, which RR does in three two hour sessions.
Now they are requiring the classes be done in 90 days. This makes no sense. The best use of the last class is a pre test check up (even the instructor said this) but now you must take your last class 90 days in before that. So in my daughters case she was rushed into lesson 2 before she was ready to drive around downtown SJ, and now we are in disagreement about lesson 3, which has freeway driving, which she is not ready for.
Very disappointing and I can no longer recommend this school. Find another one is my recommendation.

So I just finished taking roadrunner and I personally think its amazing. The price isn’t that bad, but I got it as a Christmas present. The reason I chose roadrunner is because three of my other friends recommended it to me. So far the experience has been amazing. The instructor that I got was Nellie. I definitely recommend her because she is so kind and she takes her time explaining the things you as a student need to know. If you are thinking of a driving school to send your child, Roadrunner Driving School is the one for you. Only tip I give you and your child is for them to wear something comfortable and to not be that nervous it isn’t as bad as a lot of people say.

My son took their Driver’s Education course in August, and was not looking forward to sitting in class, but once the class started, he changed his thoughts immediately. My son couldn’t stop talking about the how funny and interesting the instructor was and made the days go by fast. I could tell that the instructor kept the class involved because my son still reminds me of what the laws are and if I’m breaking them… lol. They also brought in the CHP to talk to the class, and the instructor is a retired Police officer to top it off!
My son has also begun Behind the wheel training with their driving instructors, and they are amazing! My son was SUPER nervous driving, but by the time he was done with his first lesson, he was calm, happy, and couldn’t wait to drive again. :-)
I am so glad I drove up from San Jose to bring my son to this driving school!

I went to register for the training but the lady at the front desk has no manners. I asked her the process and she got mad and did not explain to me. If she can not explain the process how the hell they will teach me to drive. Bad service. Do not go there unless you want to get humiliated.

I took this class when I was like 16. I forget how much I had to pay for this class, but it was alright. I forget how many sessions we had to go to too. I think the cars we used were Ford Taurus or Ford Focuses and the passenger seat where the instructor sits has a brake and steering wheel too. I remember having a chick teacher and she didn’t even really teach me anything new since we were all driving since we were 15. She always put the brake on when I’d go over 75 MPH and would tell my mom I had a lead foot when she’d come to pick me up from the class. Low and behold, she was probably right. I don’t think I learned my lesson.
I remember some high school or college aged kids making fun of me at a stop light once too by hella honking at me, since they have those student driver signs on the roof of the cars. Haha!
You basically get to drive wherever you want to. I drove around Morgan Hill, Gilroy, and Hollister. She even offered to buy me some food from some small bakery in Hollister. Nice woman. Said she taught all her kids how to drive tractors on their farm at like the age of 14 down in Hollister. Farm woman driving a Beamer. Shooot. I wonder how much they paid her over here. But yeah, I remember one day she offered to cancel my class and reschedule it since it was raining ridiculously hard and there was hail and everything and like 40 – 50 MPH winds, but I drove anyways and she was all like I’m glad I had you today, but you need to learn to get rid of that lead foot. I even got to feel what it was like to hydroplane for short periods of time for the first time in my driving career that night.
7 years later, I finally understood what she meant. Ahhh!
Lead foot = Bad news = Cost you a lot of money in the future
