Terrible instructors, and all they do is annoy the neighborhood near them. Slow drivers, get in everyone's way, drives same route over and over again, and still can't make a proper turn. Terrible service. Take the terrible driving somewhere else. Takes advantage of quiet neighborhoods and fills them with student drivers. Disgusting place.
Be a truck driver! I need to remind my compatriots that this Mrs. Lai is a liar! I paid a lawyer here. and fines. In the end, I still had a violation record in the DMV. The result of asking the dmv has nothing to do with whether I hire a lawyer or not! It's just for nothing! I went to ask her, she made a fool of herself with nonsense! In other words, she said to help you hire a lawyer. In fact, you don't even know whether you win or lose the lawsuit, you just pay a fine once. Afterwards, the DMV will have your records regardless of whether the points are deducted or not!
Update: It has been almost 5 years and I passed my driver's test first try after hiring back our previous driving instructor. Now the reason I am updating is that honestly my family cannot let it go that Robert hit me. Sure it was nothing painful but he cannot hit a student especially when I was 17 at the time. Now I will tell you what I did while driving Robert's car :) Disclaimer: I was 17 and this was 5 years ago, so I think that is past the statute of limitations. I knew Robert was bad and my mom was insisting that I tried him regardless of his 2-star business. My mom assumed United driving school was the driving school she took, but she wasn't sure. I read my mom all those past reviews and honestly she thought I was complaining to complain. I tried to think positive and maybe I could enjoy it or be on his good side. I was dead wrong when I drove a mile in Robert's car. Robert really likes to slam the teacher brakes and honestly it scares me every time and sometimes the drivers behind us too. I knew that Robert was notorious for pulling you over to review or lecture you. I found that was a time filler so you could spend more money, so instead of listening to him I thought of how to irritate him. First thing I did was question what would happen if I crashed his car? So all driving instructors have insurance obviously and brakes on the passenger side and I wondered what was stronger the gas pedal or his brakes? How good are Robert's reflexes? So, every time Robert braked, I floored it. Robert hit me after that and told me to pull over, which I didn't. In addition to accelerating, I also intentionally braked hard on stop signs. Next, he told me to go home and he couldn't teach me, so on almost every right turn, I went 40 mph so that I can give him a mini heart attack. He screamed every time. When I got home he lectured me and I ignored every word then when he asked me to pay him more than his rate of $60. I just threw the $60, left the car and slammed his door with the seatbelt on the frame of the door and went home. Roger kept ringing the doorbell and I told my mom he hit me. My mom ignored his constant ringing and then she called United Driving School office to yell at the secretary and said she will never come back. Looking back, I knew my actions were disrespectful and I could have hurt Robert or myself. But honestly, Roger was such a terrible human being and the other yelp reviews kind of justify my actions, but not really. My mom and dad still hate him
