We had a great experience with Road Rules. My son felt very comfortable with Dave, the instructor we used for the course. And the refresher course with Chris gave him the confidence to pass his test. We'll be using them again in a couple of years for my younger son.

Review from Google · view on GoogleWe worked with Mike from start to finish for our son. He was very helpful with making sure we could schedule the written test and then quickly setting up hours for driving as soon as my son turned 16. The day my son got his permit we went for an hour ride! He was very calm and collected and comfortable ! This is only ever have driven with his hours! The next day he took us on the GSP and although I was nervous, he was calm and took everything in stride. Thanks to Mikes help he made sure my son ready to be on the road and helped coach me with how to help him out as well. I would recommend Mike and road rules for any parents looking for a dedicated and reliable and respectful team!

Review from Google · view on GoogleMy family and several close friends have used Road Rules services, which all have consistently ended to be successful engagements. Most recently, we retained Michael to provide my aging mom the confidence that she is more than capable of operating a motor vehicle. Michael demonstrated patience alongside the careful oversight to deliver the comfort necessary for our family to confirm that she still can operate safety. The team is highly recommended for your future instructional needs. Thank you Michael and the Cranford Road Rules family!
