“The bench manager at 160 driving school. Emilio is awesome Dave Turner the instructor is thorough. I highly recommend the school.”
Abel S.
“I just completed my hours and just want to give thanks to instructor Roman. He is a great instructor, not only is he a great teacher but he cares about each and every one of his students. His patience and passion about what he does makes the learning experience so much easier. He wasn’t the lead instructor when I was there but I believe he should be. Many other students that I have talked to there all agree that Roman should be the lead. He truly deserves that role and I hope he gets it! Thank you 160 and thank you Roman!!”
