A good driving instructor?

Ask AOA

car steering wheelBaby Boomer emails:

Could you ask your readers if they could recommend a driving instructor, specifically in Albany, who could teach an older person who is very nervous when learning to drive? I took a few lessons years ago and was very stressed out. I still want to learn before I get too old.

A bunch of years ago we had a question about driving schools, but it was in reference to teens. Things change. And also, we're curious if there are any driving instructors who specialize in -- or just happen to be really good with -- adults who are taking up driving.

Got a suggestion for Baby Boomer? Please share!

I am a decent driver, but completely stink at parallel parking, especially on busy streets where people are driving around me. I would love to have some professional lessons on how to do that better since my friends and family can't seem to help.

I am looking for something similar. I'm 34 years old, but only have experience driving automatic cars. Would like to learn how to drive manual transmission cars.

The Scoop

For a decade All Over Albany was a place for interested and interesting people in New York's Capital Region. It was kind of like having a smart, savvy friend who could help you find out what's up. AOA stopped publishing at the end of 2018.
