Rosy Driving & Traffic School

In short, save your money and go to another driving school. Yes, she’s nice but she is not a very good teacher. She spends too much time talking and gossiping and that it takes away from the real driving lesson. I did not agree with her teaching ways. She often yelled and was easily frustrated at her students. Already nervous at the whole driving experience, I always left the lesson with less confidence on my driving skills.
1. The classes cost way too much. I ended up getting a new driving instructor for a cheaper price and I actually learned something [and passed my driving test].
2. She often fell asleep. One time, we drove to the beach and asked me to park the car so that she could sleep for thirty minutes. This was UNACCEPTABLE!
Rosy’s teaching methods are not suited for new drivers.

I had a very annoying experience with this school… what’s funny is that it was all on the phone. So my dad’s friend recommends this school and I decided hey why not give it a shot. I call Rosy and I try to set up a date, I told her I cant do it till after 1pm, and she tells me no because driving in the late afternoon is really hot and inconvenient for her… she asks me why I cant do it, I tell her I have work and gym in the morning and she tells me to skip the gym, that I should do it in the evening.
This is ridiculous, I don’t like the fact that she wants me to reschedule my life and routine because she doesn’t want to drive in the afternoon because it is hot out (weekend of really warm weather, I know its not typical in SF). She also asked me to go to the DMV in Daly City, I tell her I can’t because no one can drive me and she insists to talk to my dad or mom and ask them if they can drive me. How f*cking unprofessional. I tell her, «im sorry I actually dont know if im going to be able to do the lesson this week» because I didnt want to have to tell her how unpleasant this whole thing was. She tells me «you said you wouldn’t cancel, why are you cancelling?..», and mumbles something in tagalog and hangs up…
That was a one of the worst customer service I have ever had on the phone, she was so pushy and aggressive. I wish I could tell everyone and anyone I can who are thinking of going here for driving lessons to not do it. Please do not do it. It is a mistake and you will regret it.
— My boyfriend also called her and set up a lesson, he had to cancel the day before and they kept calling and calling him. Even though he already cancelled, they are very pushy and do not show respect to customers.

I went to traffic school 20 years ago for a stupid ticket for speeding. I vowed to myself if this woman is still around, I will return. Sure enough, after many years of good driving until that fateful day when that douchebag pedestrian darted out of nowhere, and came harrowingly so close to being flat-​lined, and the donut-​eating police officer cited me for failure to yield, I have returned. And let me tell you, that was one of the most hilarious Saturday traffic school experiences one would ever endure. The motley crew of characters on Saturday included a burned-​out, Richard Alan Davis-​resembling character who loved to doze off a sleep; a delivery driver who barely spoke English, an old dude (84 years young) who tried to cover up his flattulance, a retiree who likes to drive fast to church because she is perpetually late (the police caught up to her as she sped for her novena), and me, a humble accounting servant. Rosy has a kind heart, but the hilarious part about it is she speaks under her breath in Tagolog and mocks everyone. Little does she know that I understood everything she said. Rosy did that 20 years ago, and she has not missed a beat today. The serial killer guy cracked me up so much. He was sleeping most of the day, but when he finally «came to» at the end of the day, the killer started laughing at the video of people and their misery of their accidents. I laughed at him laughing at the video. Talk about anti-​social behavior, and its hilarity. Rosy popped in her VHS tapes (yes, those old relics) and it was good to see President Clinton, Christopher Reeve and Robert Urich, on the reels. One thing that I learned in the eight hours is that officers usually allow up to 3 mph above the posted limit. I will definitely drop being «lead foot» and watch out for cameras and Krispy Kreme-​eating traffic cops! See you in 20 years, Rosy. Heck, you don’t even look a day over 80.

rosy is nice and all but really a money grubber. she will do anything to make money out from you. she really knows what’s her job and she’ll gonna do everything to straighten you up but i guess she’s too old to teach that she needs to retire…
she’s your typical old woman who talks here and there and too meddlesome with personal lives. i had a hard time shaking her off because she always ask why whenever i tried to make a reason to get away from her.
reasons why i’m not recommending her:
1. it’s ok if she and you try to adapt on each others schedule but the problem is she wants you to adapt on hers.
2. i hate storytelling of things that are not supposed to be told. i’m there to learn to drive and she’s there to teach me.
3. if i say «i’m going to call you» or «i’m busy on that day», she should shut up and don’t ask why…
4. teaching you and going to supermarkets to do her grocery is combined. good thing the shopping is not paid but more time to be with her…=p
5. like i said, she’s too old now. she always ask me to go to the door and press the doorbell of her next student. it’s understandable to help because she’s old, but too much is too much…
6. she falls asleep during long drives and i caught her doing that several times.

Rosy is definitely a sweet woman, but mann did I put my daddy’s dollars to waste about three years ago when we paid her to be my driving trainer.
She was supposed to prepare me to pass my driving test, but nooo. My six hours with her barely consisted of anything I needed to know for the test. She had her own gas and brake pedals on the passenger’s seat and she held on to the wheel for the whole session. So basically, we paid her to DRIVE ME around the city instead of teaching me how. She took me through Van Ness, China Town, Lake Merced, and best of all, her fckin’ house by westlake to check whether her gardener completed his job in HER FCKIN’ GARDEN ON THE TIME I PAID HER TO TEACH ME HOW TO FCKIN’ DRIVE.
whatthefeez?! Alright, I guess I give the little old Filipino lady some props cause she knew how to play the game to win over my dad’s money. But damn, I didn’t learn squat from Rosy. I had to pay a different instructor for another two hours in order for me to feel confident about going into my driving test. WHAT A WASTE!

Rosy is such a sweet lady… shes super nice and will make sure you pass… as long as you work with her you will pass… :)
I took the weekend class and it was one day, it was priced reasonable and she made it rather painless to get through traffic school…

When turning of that magical age to get your driver’s permit, all my friends in high school turned to this woman to get instruction from her staff. We pretty much passed with flying colors, and lived to tell about it. However, I’ve utilized her service out of high school, by taking traffic school to avoid the points against my driving record. I’m sure she’s a part of my family, as my mom, dad and brother also took traffic school instruction from her over the years.
Her Saturday classes are all day, running from 9am-​ish until early afternoon. I think she offers night classes for traffic school, broken into 2 four hour classes during the week. And for those needing driving instruction, it’s been so long that you may want to inquire by phone for times and days.
She’s very resonably priced, parking for school is pretty hard to find on the street (no lot) and I think she still has someone pick up students for driving training/​instruction. Thank you Rosy!
