What Our Students Are Saying

"He's the Best Around—No Question About It! I went into Mr. Faulkner's Driving School as a teen driver lacking confidence. Practicing with my parents was stressful, and I felt like I was falling behind. Mr. Faulkner worked with me to become a very strong driver. Not only did he teach me the correct techniques, but he also stressed safety and decision-making on the road. Now, I'm a great, safe driver thanks to his excellent instruction and support!"

"After months of sitting in the passenger seat with my three teens, I knew they needed an experienced and objective teacher. I read about Mr. Faulkner in the Charlotte Observer and knew he was the right choice. Meeting him confirmed it. My kids initially thought it was a silly idea, but after driving with Mr. Faulkner, they thanked me for the experience. He was patient and taught them invaluable skills I wouldn’t have considered. I now have three confident drivers on the road!"
