I can't speak to Moores, but my daughter did CSM and I was pretty impressed with the curriculum and equipment and instructors.

I'm going to put this out there. While CSM is IMO the best, it is the best at teaching what the state requires new drivers to learn. Which, also IMO, is not enough to really up your teens chances of not crashing in those first critical years. I think of my 17 year old sons close friends, like three or four have been in crashes so far. Oddly enough, none of them the teens fault
Me, I view it like a motorcycle rider, no matter if it's your fault, even being in a crash means you most likely missed one or more chances to NOT be in that crash. T-bone, deer, etc? Most of them seems to come down to the size of the "bubble" the teen was using, or lack of anticipation of other drivers doing the unexpected.
I really don't know why we don't teach out new drivers more of this. We make noises about defensive driving without really getting into techniques and expecting to practice this with new drivers more. Please, parents of new drivers, don't stop teaching just because a student got the states seal of approval. Think of either how you passively and actively avoid crashes, and if you have had them, think about how you could have avoided it. Pass your experience on. And spend time talking about what is one of the most ignored things about car crashes. NEVER STOP DRIVING! NEVER GIVE UP TRYING TO NOT CRASH! And if you MUST crash, PICK THE BEST ONE!!!! Kills me to see, "Jimmy went into a tree dodging a dog/squirrel/car.

You would have had questions the night I avoided a deer on 235S in a low-slung '92 hatchback, in the rain @ 0200 one Sunday morning, only to bounce off a guardrail a couple times.....and no, I was sober as a judge.

CSM has the best program around is my understanding. That being said, eldest boy child has just completed driver's ed with Moore's. Moore's wins for us due to the convenience of 4 miles from home. Make sure you understand the whole MVA driving exam registration system when you sign up your prospective driver. The exam reservation schedule is booked about 2 months out. Get your reservation before starting classes would be my recommendation.

Nope, since your odds of causing more damage in either case are questionable. No telling if the deer or the rail is going to be worse. Now, replace the rail with a building or stopped dump truck, Bambi is the obvious choice.
I'm going with CSM. I have heard some not so stellar reviews IRT Moore's.

Thats how them b*tch's R
I thought you couldn't sign up for testing unless you've completed the course?
DMV told me to get her signed up right after she starts the class because there can be a 4 month waitlist for the driving test.

Moore's was stinky. boy got his certificate which is what the end goal.

Girl took classes by the place outside of San Souci. The longest is waiting for the actual driving, which can be weeks.

Mine starts October 20.
You are another bad review.
It's killing her to wait that long. She was 3 months late getting her learners (her choice), then she made the field hockey team at school so now she has to wait for the season to be over.
