Help me learn how to drive in Portland, Maine!

January 5, 2012 12:32 PM

I'm looking for a good driving school in the Portland, Maine peninsula. Would prefer stick shift, but will also be ok with automatic. Help me learn how to drive before my 28th birthday! (I put that off a little much, yes).

Response by poster: Just for clarification: I'm looking for a school that will give you driving time. I'm not interested in taking classroom lectures.

It's been over 10 years since I got my drivers' license, but I'm pretty sure that Maine requires a combination of classroom time and driving time. I took my lessons (both classroom instruction and actual driving) at Pace Driving School and had a good experience (hey, I passed my exam on the first try at least!).

Response by poster: @saturngirl: They require classroom time if you're under 18. Hurrah for being old!
