I have been meaning to write my review for almost a year , I absolutely love this driving school. All the teachers are amazing and they work well around your schedule. My favorites are Ralph and Omar, they are great , patient and tell you the truth. If you live in the Bronx I highly recommend you come to this school, passed the road exam first time!! Thank You Ralph and Omar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Read Less

Best driving school in NYC they got me my road test in one week. ( I needed it for work) got a warm up lesson from OMAR he put me on to all the tricks to get this done on the first time! nice cars also easy to drive. Read Less

Don't go to this school if you do not have any driving experience or you have never driven before. On my first ever lesson, I wasn't told the functions of the car. The instructor told me to put my seat belt on, look at the mirrors and then started barking orders. Mind you, the car was already on. I did not even learn how to turn on the damn car. On the second lesson, he was all about speed. I am not sure how you can be a new driver and speed your way through NYC. I understand that we shouldn't hold off traffic, but don't bark orders and yell if you don't teach anything. He put me in a bad mood before I started the lesson and kept aggravating it for 45 minutes by barking orders that don't make sense to me. Third lesson, he acted like a license test taker rather than an instructor. He brings his notepad and paper and tells me to do my own thing, then barks and barks when he thinks I am doing something wrong. He says "turn here, no over there at the light, wait a little bit, now go, why did you go? What are you doing?" Well, you've been warned. If you need a driving school that makes you feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel if you are just starting to learn how to drive, go to another school. You won't cry over money lost and you will feel much better about yourself. Read Less

All I could say is this school is really really good my instructor Sam was the greatest he was very patient and knowledgeable I toke my road test today for the first time and passed with a 80% score thanks to Sam even though I was nervous he kept reassuring me that I would be fine and continuously went over step by step everything I needed to know to pass if your do decide to choice this school I highly recommend taking lessons with Sam.

I needed and early road test for my job I was searching and everything was about two months out and they got it for me in one week. On my prep class I got a great instructor by the name of RALPH he fixed my parking technique so that I could pass on my first test ***** 5 star school Read Less

Amazing experience. Went with the school to take my road test, and had Sam take me there. I was nervous at the beginning but Sam constantly gave me tips as to what I should be doing, he also threw in some jokes here and there which helped ease my anxiety. I ended up passing the road test on my first attempt. The man really does go the extra mile and he does so with no complaints. I'd recommend this place and Sam specifically to anyone who asks for a good driving instructor who can help ease their anxiety. Read Less

passed my road test on the first time. sure i passed not the school but i was taught what i needed to know. instructor was a man of few words but when it came to teaching me he would say what i needed to hear for me to learn. Read Less

FYI: This particular location CHANGED THEIR NAME to "Bronx Driving School". I think "Roadway" is just a chain of relatively independent driving schools. This review applies only to this particular location.TL;DR: My experience with them was so bad that it inspired me to write my first yelp review. Unprofessional, incompetent, and more expensive to boot! I would NEVER recommend anyone to go here. They have a lot of available scheduling time because few people want to go back to them for a second lesson.---If you are desperate enough to go here, ask for your instructor's certification BEFORE paying a penny (search the NYDMV's website for "Requirements and forms for driving schools and instructors"). I think they employ people off of the street. I went to a different driving school and as soon as I told them where I went first, they said they've heard tons of stories about this place from students who left from there the way I did. I'm not repeating their hearsay, but apparently this place has a reputation. It's no surprised that they recently .So, I scheduled a lesson for what I thought was 4:30pm. I call the next day to confirm and she said it was 4pm. I probably misheard her - she had a Spanish accent and I wasn't listening closely enough, totally my fault (she was actually the kindest, most professional, and most competent person I dealt with at this school). I would lose 30 minutes of my 90 minute lesson to that mistake, so I asked if the instructor can drive 5 minutes away from the original pickup location to save me the 25 minutes it would take to travel there by bus. They refused. The 5 minute drive was just too far for them. Fine.I eventually meet the instructor. He's sitting the car talking on the phone. His breath smells like he smokes a LOT of marijuana (I've known people who do this and I'm familiar with the smell). He continues to talk on the phone for a short while after I get into the car. No introduction or attempt to help me find the lever to adjust the seat, just total focus on his phone call. We eventually pull out (with him still on the phone), and within a minute he reaches over and turns on the radio to Hot 97. RAP MUSIC, DURING THE DRIVING LESSON. Putting aside the fact that I hate rap music, there should be -no- music playing during a driving lessons at all.We drive somewhere safer place to practice (rap music still playing). He gives me some advice on the way there. Not much, but some. I ask him questions and his responses are not very helpful at all. He sounds annoyed to answer any questions at all ("how early on should I signal for a turn on the test" is apparently a guarded secret). After a parallel parting attempt. I turn to ask him something and he interrupts me, and tells me to pull out and drive while I ask my question. He said he's on a schedule. The 10 seconds to hold still and answer a question about an action I was -just- about to perform (pulling out of a parking space) was too much to ask. At the end of the "lesson", he barely gives a proper goodbye. I had to approach him and offer a handshake out of decency. Completely unprofessional.This school willingly employs(ed?) a *probable* drug abuser that plays distracting music during a mediocre-at-best driving lesson. I can't judge the other driving instructors since I didn't take a lesson with them, but clearly the school has very low standards for hiring. My story is very similar to other stories I head about this school, so it's probably just a running theme with this place. I -immediately- called the driving school and cancelled my next appointment with them.If you don't believe anything I wrote where, or just really want to go to this school for whatever reason, schedule a SINGLE short lesson with them, get proof that your teacher is ACTUALLY certified to be a driving instructor, and pass judgement on the school yourself. Also, take a single lesson from one or two other schools to base your comparison on, especially if you plan on paying for a big package of lessons. It's better to wait longer time for appointments at good schools than waste money at a place like this.Don't go here. Read Less

I can't say enough good things about Roadway. I was recommended to go to Roadway by a friend. Best thing I could've done! I bought a package for 6 classes, the 5 hour class and the road test. I was super nervous when I got picked up for my first lesson but the instructor, Ralph was amazing! He was calm and made me feel calm and confident while driving. He had great tips and made it really easy to parallel park and do turns. The 5 hour class is the 5 hour class but they did their best to make it engaging and it wasn't so bad. Unfortunately I was only able to take 2 of my classes before I had to take the road test. Due to my job needing me to have a drivers license ASAP I had to schedule it elsewhere. Even though I was nervous I was confidant that I would be ok with what I learned in just two classes. Sure enough I passed my test thanks to Ralph!!! I can only imagine how much better it would've been if I could've actually taken all my lessons. Oh and they were great about giving me a refund for the classes not taken. Read Less

The first time I took my driving test I failed because I was nervous and didn't drive to my full potential...My second time around I was equally as anxious.With the help of my gifted instructor shebrelle I conquered my fear of driving and learned the skills necessary to safely maneuver the road so that I past on my second try.Thank you Roadway Driving for making it possible for me to obtain my drivers license and get out on the road!!

Learning to drive? Need defensive driving course? CDL? Road Way has a great instructors and prices to help you accomplish your driving needs. I used them for a defensive driving course to reduce my car insurance by 15%. The course was fun and interactive. My baby Sister is turning 18 and getting anxious to drive. I don't want her practicing in my car! I bought her a package with 6 lessons, 5 hours class, and car for the road test for under $300. She was able to choose a female instructor as she thought she may be more comfortable with her. The instructors pick her up from home and drop her off after 45 minute practice until next time. These guys are professional and courteous. All there cars are updated and fairly new. This is a great place to start. Read Less
