Reviews of Put On The B.R.A.K.E.S. with Doug Herbert (Driving School)

This program should be MANDATED for every young driver. It was a wonderful experience for my son. The staff was great, the instructors were clear and unambiguous about the safety needed to be a responsible driving. It was not only lecture (the smallest part of the class) but HANDS ON WITH TRAINED PROFESSIONALS from the drag racing community. The backstory of how BRAKES came into existence is pure heartbreak, but has given birth to a tool every young driver must and should have as they go forward out on the roads.

Incredible learning experience for teen drivers (and parents)! Your kids will learn on real courses with real cars how to safely maneuver out of dangerous situations. Skids, road hazard avoidance, tires off the road, how to use antilock brakes, drunk driving, distracted driving - they cover it all. Our instructors were all professional racers or drivers with great instructional skills and a great message for kids and parents. Their success rate with teens avoiding accidents is phenomenal.

Excellent class the instructors were awesome should be mandatory for every new driver BMW offers the same class but it is a whole lot more Doug Herbert is extremely passionate about this and I highly recommend it to all new drivers they're really giving this class away for free for what they charge

Fantastic course and instructors! Will be sending my youngest son when he gets old enough. It was a superb class/course!

The Brakes course is extremely informative. I feel at ease on the road because of the skills I've learned. The instructors were not condescending at all, they were extremely helpful and informative. I recommend going on their website and checking out the skills they teach the students- the information taught is so valuable.

BRAKES- I wanted to share with you how my daughter used the skills she learned at the driving class she attended. My daughter took the driving class a few months after she received her driving license. She enjoyed the class and we talked about it as a family. It has been several years since she attended. My daughter is 19 years old now and was driving a car on the Interstate. Her front tire blew. She said she remembered what the instructors at BRAKES had said about “not jerking the wheel”. She said she went straight and slowed the car down. She got the car off the road and called for assistance. She got the tire off herself but forgot some of her Dad’s instructions. (She has to ask her Dad about the tire changing again.) AAA helped her with the rest. Thanks for giving her the skills to keep her safe.

Unbelievable. You would pay upwards of $1000 to get this kind of training anywhere else. Costing $100 is 10X worth it. Would have easily paid $300 if needed. Training – The kids go through distraction course with drunk goggles on, hydroplaning recovery, brake avoidance, and running off the road recovery exercise. Almost forgot the slalom course also. Parents get to take a tour of all the exercises and even participate in brake avoidance and slalom course. The staff – Unbelievably energetic, and friendly and most of all, well trained. My daughter wasn’t happy about going at first, but after the training, she couldn’t contain herself from being excited. Few hours later, my daughter avoided an accident because of the training she received at Put On The Brakes facility. No way she would have avoided it without the training. The confidence level increases dramatically after the training also. Really can’t say enough about the whole operation.

Great learning experience today! A must for teenage drivers and parents as well!

As a grandparent trying to enroll my grandson I found this very difficult to master I am not very tech savvy and was very frustrated with the entire process. I know he would benefit from this greatly and give me needed peace of mind. I will try again

Wonderful organization! My daughter and I truly enjoyed the event. I learned quite a bit, myself, from seating position, hand position on the steering wheel (and confirming what I've long taught re: positioning of side view mirrors to remove the "blindspot". My daughter has a greater appreciation now for the power of a vehicle (even a compact car) and that she has the ability to control the car much more capably now. I was glad to hear of the organization's plans to expand in 2018 to cover more states and I hope this growth continues to be able to cover larger cities multiple times throughout the year. Kudos to B.R.A.K.E.S.!

We brought our daughter to this class today. She was nervous at first. I think she did not want to come. When she got started, she relaxed and had a great time. The instructors are patient and really informative. The staff were friendly and helpful. We had a great time. I hope that more teens and families participate. I was nervous driving part of the course too. It was a wonderful learning experience for us.

This is a amazing program! So worth taking! I think it should be mandatory for all drivers! I wish they had it for adults! This class could potentially save your child's life! I highly recommend this for anyone who is ellidagbe to take it! Please look into this if you have a new driver!
