As a nurse I am really an advocate for safe driving practices. I have seen many patients involved in serious car accidents that left them with traumatic injuries. As a mother I was very fearful of my teenage son getting behind the wheel. After conducting some research and having several conversations (assessing their knowledge and skills) with the team at CDIC I felt comfortable in their ability to teach my son safe driving practices as well as keeping him safe as they teach him how to drive. They provided me with a sense of security. I highly recommend their program. Thank you CDIC for putting your life at risk to train drivers.
From one grateful mom!

Reviews
My driving instructor was Mr. Tillar. He was extremely patient and did a great job of coaching/teaching rather than scolding. When my driving partners or I made mistakes, he remained calm and gently corrected us. His easy-going and humorous demeanor made driving with him smooth and anxiety-free. I will recommend this driving school to my friends and younger relatives in the Richmond area!
My daughters both took classes with CDIC and the experience for both children was excellent. My oldest daughter, who has autism, was especially fearful, but Ms. Williams put her completely at ease. She identified opportunities for gentle coaching, and was supportive throughout the entire course. Excellent communication, excellent instruction, and a genuine effort to teach both children to be safe, vigilant drivers. I cannot recommend CDIC highly enough.
