I am a 58 year old partially paralyzed on my right side from face to foot, however, I wanted to drive again after 17 years of non driving. Family and friends did not trust me to operate their vehicle albeit a niece did allow me to drive several blocks. Yet, that brief encounter behind the wheel not only reflected my capability in driving but it bolstered my commitment to obtain my driver's license and independence. However, I couldn't find anyone who would allow me to practice in their vehicle and take the road test. Then I come into contact with Emmit of Archway Driving School! Now mind you, I thoroughly researched Archway Driving School and I read all the reviews: positive and negatives. So seeing that the school's charges was appropriate to my Social Security disability income, I decided to give it a try. And I'm very glad I did! Again: I hadn't driven in 17 years. But after two hours of driving with Emmit, listening to his blustery rapid-fire instructions and conversation --- I felt ready to take the road test and was certain I would pass. I failed! My jubliancy turned quickly to despondency. Emmit allowed me to drive to our meeting location and continued with his rapid- fire conversation (which by the way is a tactical measure aimed to have you completely relaxed while driving) and encouraged me that the next time I'd pass the test. Then it suddenly dawned on me that I was driving from the DMV with my RIGHT FOOT which is impaired! I told Emmit who was beaming with a smile and her said: "Yeah, I was aware of that at the very moment you started driving. But I wasn't going to say a word.Your brain just remembered and it came naturally." Now I was estactic and so many emotions swept over me because I would never consciously attempted to drive with my stroke-side foot! I told Emmit that I wanted to take the road test again tomorrow. Without any practice session, the very next day I took the road test again. Prior to it Emmit advised me that he would not suggest which foot I should use to drive with but it was my decision alone. But his rapid-fire words completely relaxed me. The result? I PASSED!!! --- USING MY RIGHT FOOT!!! After just two hour sessions of driving, a 58 year old man suffering the effects of a major stroke and who hadn't driven in 17 years --- NOW IS IN POSSESSION OF HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE!!! And it's all because of Archway Driving School's instructor Emmit! I salute you Emmit! You gave me back my independence!!! For any of you considering Archway Driving School: It's an epitome of excellence in teaching you driving skills not just to pass the test but for a lifetime! Read all the negative comments --- but keep this at the forefront of your mind: Everything that is complained of is "tactical" to help you relax, to stay alert, to enable you to experience everyday driving situations and to benefit you! Emmit's ways are all designed in a "tactical" manner to aid you to expertly drive! Much love Emmit. Thank you so much!!!
