I called around the areas where Im (Baltimore, Maryland) and the prices Ive found was ridiculous. The first place was 250.00, which is the normal price. The second place wanted 245.00, the third, 300.00 but that was in Anne Arundel County, Maryland. The lowest Ive seen was 215.00. Which is a lot better than the rest, but still a crazy price. I remember it was a time where you didnt have to pay anything. All you had to do was have someone teach you how to drive, and than you would go and take the test. I think drunk driving and people that are 16-18 years old driving unsafe messed this up.

You are wrong guy,at the present time practically all state require certified driver education and many other very stringent requirements before you can become a licensed driver.

I agree the prices are crazy! Thankfully I got into 1st semester drivers ed this year and the fee was 200$ plus 20$ for licensing fees. The private places around here are around 300!

Stop complaining. Do you have any idea what it cost to get a license in Europe? About $3000. But than again they really teach people how to drive over there.

You're lucky if driving school is only $215 - 300. In ontario, most driving schools cost upwards of $500 - 1000. And here we DON'T require certified driving instructions to get your license. It may help with insurance, but it's not required. The outrageous cost is to help offset their cost of insurance, vehicles, and other such expenses for running a driving instruction school. Do you know how many accidents those cars go through with new drivers, and how often they have to get new cars?? A lot more often than if everyone learned with their parents. They also have to pay their teachers, and that gets expensive. So, be grateful that it's only a few hundred, rather than several. Good luck on your test.
