Had my "refresher" class today with Raul. I wanted to focus on freeway driving because, though I've been driving for 28 years, it's been about 8 years since I've lived in CA, and coming from NYC, the freeways made me more nervous than I'd ever experienced before.Raul was a total delight. Patient, calm and practical. He gave me some directly applicable tips and strategies, and I drove with him from Long Beach to Newport Beach, and back, and then up to Cerritos and back, 3 freeways in total (+ CA22), all with merging and lane changes. Before I got into the car with Raul, I was about 10-15% confident. After 2 hours driving with him, coaching and supporting, I feel I'm at 65-70% confidence level and definitely ready to go out there tomorrow. Starting with short trips to the mall first, but I see myself up to Los Angeles within the month. It's not just defensive driving he teaches, its logical, safe driving for the real world and the real roads of Southern California.I highly recommend Sensus - this is the absolute right school for all levels, for sure.
