I found Epic Driving School at Main Street in Danbury by a chance because my son had to take his road test in Danbury DMV, and I wanted him to become familiar with the roads in Danbury. It turns out I made a great choice. I observed that the instructor, Bernie Souza, that my son first met, has a great knowledge to teach driving safely and how to pass the road test in every detail. Although we needed to travel a long distance to Danbury with two train transfers, I decided to schedule more lessons for my son with Epic before his road test. My son said with Bernie’s instruction, he had confidence to pass the test because Bernie taught him precisely what to do in every scenario, for example, my son had struggled with reverse parking with other driving schools' lessons, when Bernie came, just gave a few recommendations and strategies, it became a piece of cake. This is a big difference when you meet a good mentor, suddenly difficult tasks become easier to learn.
The day before my son’s road test, Emily Silva gave my son a two-hour practice lesson. Wow, she directed my son to a highway driving lesson in the first hour and taught him how to speed up to get on the highway safely, changed the lanes on the highway, and exit the highway. I was very surprised that my son could have the full confidence for this highway driving which he had never had before. After that, Emily directed him to drive on busy streets, in different situations with different speeds, and also parking in different kinds of parking lots including the one with very narrow spaces. I felt my son accelerated his skill tremendously and with full confidence of taking the road test the next day.
The next morning. Ana Garcia took my son to the DMV in the early morning for the road test. Ana is a very patient person. We arrived at the DMV before 9 AM. The DMV did things a bit slow. After my son had the road test and passed the test, we still needed to wait for processing the documents for the driving license and taking the picture. In the entire two hours since we left driving school parking lot and finished all the DMV business and returned back to the driving school’s parking lot at about quarter to 11 AM, Ana was there for us, just for a single student, my son, to pass the road test. My son and I greatly appreciate her patience.
In summary, the staff of Epic Driving School at Danbury Main Street ensured my son to pass the road test in one attempt. More importantly, it is not just for the road test, I feel my son had learned a great deal of safe driving skills that currently many drivers lack of on the streets. Finding good mentors are essential to master skills. I highly recommend this driving school and the instructors my son had to the fellow learners who are searching for good driving school and good driving instructors. Unlike my son and I had to travel a long distance to Danbury for the driving lessons, Danbury locals are lucky to have this school just in the area. They should take the advantage of this driving school if they ever need driving lessons or need to pass the road test. To me, my son’s Epic Driving Experience meets the goal of driving safely and passing the road test on first attempt.
