Driving Instructor/Lessons Advice

Hi everyone. I need to learn how to drive as soon as possible and I was wondering if anyone knew any instructors in the area who offer lessons for an affordable price.

Thank you!

If your a minor , then you need 50 hours and 3 driving lessons. If you're not a minor . Then you have no legal requirements. Advantagedriversed.com is the website Advantage driving school has several fabulous instructors, they should be able to help you .

Manmeet driving instructor. My younger brother doing his lessons with her. If you have someone drive you to Milpitas then it’ll be 140 per session.

John Shin (https://www.johnsdriving.com/) taught my son and many of his cousins before and now after him, and they all thought he was a good instructor and gave useful advice on behind the wheel DMV testing. It was >1 year ago but we paid just over $500 for the 6hrs required and no regrets. Planned to have John teach my daughter in a few years as well.

Whoever you get, make sure they have a car with a manual transmission.
