Rick's Driver Ed.
In-Car Training - $400
Cash or check made payable to “Rick’s Driver Ed”.
On school days, if cash payment is made, it is recommended payment be made at the end of the first day’s session by whoever is picking up the student to avoid the student having the cash with them at school.
Not accepting any new applicants.
Once all current applicants are completed,
I will no longer do the in-car training.
PARENTS BE WARE !
I have had many of my students tell me about their friends who took their in-car training at another school who complained that their instructor cut their training short, falsified their training record, took extended breaks (up to a half hour), sleeping in the car much of the time and/or making inappropriate comments to female students, stopping at the instructor's house with their female students, and even taking them shopping during their in-car training. I have made the Driver Training Office aware of these situations but was told they will not act on my allegations - they need a parent to complain.
Sooo parents - I recommend you or your child document all their in-car training time and compare it to the copy of the BTW (behind-the-wheel) training report you are supposed to receive once training is complete (which I hear that some parents are not receiving a copy of this report). If an instructor acted inappropriately towards your child, cut their training short, or did anything else other than spend 100% of their time training your child (excluding about a 10-15 break time), do not hesitate to call the Driver Training section in Columbus and file a complaint about that instructor.

Since I'm closing in the near future, I am having many parents wanting me to recommend another school.
The only school I would recommend near Lima is
Always Right in Columbus Grove.
Anyone coming across my website, should pass the below information on to any other parent who has a teen that will be coming up to get their permit:
All driving schools around the state are backed up considerably (months out). Beware if a school tells you they can get you in "right away" ($$$) unless they have an "expidited" program.
Parents & teens should plan ahead.
If a teen is planning on getting their license anytime near their 16th birthday, get the online done a.s.a.p. and then get signed up with a driving school for the in-car training.
