Business Of The Week - Miller Driving School, Cotati CA

Real Estate Broker/Owner CalBRE# 01433049

If your teenager became of driving age in or near Cotati, CA, chances are they learned how to drive with Miller Driving School. I get an almost daily reminder of the valuable service this business provides, not only because I live in Cotati, but also because I live on a hill. While starting and stopping are very important driving skills to master, so is learning how to curb your wheels. My hill = great place to practice.

student getting driving lessonsWhen I step out my front door, there is a good chance a Miller Driving School car is resting a couple of houses down from mine. They'll see me get into my car and prepare to back into the street.

The instructor, in the meantime, has just finished explaining how to do a three point turn, their next maneuver. And now we sit. Who is going to make the first move?

If we both start moving at the same time, I'm likely to mess up the driving exercise and that isn't something I want to do. (Well, some days it depends on my mood ... JOKING!!). So we sit and play the wait game. OK, you move first. No, you move. No you!

So if you have a driving age child (or adult) near Cotati, CA who could use some driving instruction, check out Miller Driving School. Tell 'em I'll be on waiting for them on the hill :)

You first.......no, you first........go on,.........no you go.  I can see how that would be frightening to a nervous teenager. Oh well, we were all nervous teenage drivers at one point. I remember being petrified.

Cynthia, this is a FUN post.  I can just see you playing that "you first" game.  Smiles all around if we'll just reach out and grab them.

Reminds me of when my little darling (now 23) got his learner's permit -- I did not go out with him for those training hours.  A kind-hearted friend did.  She had patience.  For parents with no patience, Miller's Driving School sounds like the way to go!

Malcolm - I had to learn how to drive with a standard transmission. My mom took me to the football stadium parking lot at Oregon State University. My mother was a smart woman ...

Marian - It's kind of like being at a 4-way stop sign and everyone is looking at everyone else to try to find out who will go first.

Carla - The driving school seems to do really good business. I don't know if it is a requirement to get a drivers license or if it is something that lowers insurance rates.
