The course was excellent. From the moment we left the office we were practising tactical driving on the road. The format of the course involves less theory and more practical experience which meant receiving feedback while driving which helps retain the information.The portion of the course focused on stunts was very enjoyable. There were a number of exercises which really honed the accuracy and skills that would be needed on set. This portion was also littered with tips Scotty has learned throughout his years in the industry.Scotty’s teaching style was good; he paid attention to each driver’s aptitude and gave them free reign where appropriate, helping the drivers develop their confidence. However he was quick to step in if he perceived any stunts getting out of hand. Overall it was a really good course.

This one has been by far one of my favorite experiences in the industry thus far. It was educational, fun, rigorous, and even spiritual. Scotty is an incredible trainer, driver, and mentor. Such a blessing and joy to be around. He was so observant and sensitive to personalizing the course for me. I left not only a better driver but a better person. I look forward to training with him sometime in the future.

Awesome dude real chill honest great attitude the best mentor you could ask for I learned Way more than I thought I would the experience was amazing the teaching on point and the results way past worth it

Ive been a couple of times now and I enjoy the small class size and having a car per driver. The instruction is clear & you have ample opportunity to apply it. As a stunt performer I especially appreciate his experience on set and guidance for on the job application.

Being a guy with Track experience with both car and Bikes I just wanted to say this.Scotty, thank you so much man!, yeah It was a blast taking the 2 days with ya I love the way you work! and yeah i cant wait to put the skills that I learn to use!.Actually it strikes me the way you can communicate such amount of detail in a very short period of time, I think youre a great guy and each stunt driver out there should stop by to you at least once to learn from the best!This said my experience was so positive i wanna do more! heheheheh!, I Highly suggested to anyone from experienced drivers to newcomers!

Scotty is very professional and just very all around good person. He wants to help every student become the best they can be. And he doesn’t forget to keep the fun in it. His school was by far one the best driving schools I have been to. I would highly recommend this to anyone who likes, loves or just has a passion for being behind the wheel. You’ll be guaranteed to have an Amazing experience! I will be returning to continue to grow as a performance driver.

I have always been curious about movie / stunt driving, and how they do the spinning and the drifting and go so fast and furiously, if you will. I looked around for a basic tactical driving class, but only really found classes that appeared to be targeted toward professional stunt drivers, not moms who drive an automatic minivan, or experiences that are driving really fast in circles, which also wasn’t really what I was looking for. On a lark, I reached out to Scotty to see if he could tailor a fun / private lesson for me and my husband for a day.From the beginning, Scotty was so welcoming and enthusiastic. I told him what I wanted to experience (learning non-standard / basic movie driving skills in a safe and educational environment) and he designed a day that got me to that goal. He is very focused on his students and their individual goals / boundaries.We drove Crown Vics in an abandoned parking lot with walkie talkie radios to keep us on task. It was great to work in a setting like that - after all there are curbs and trees in the real world too - and after an initial assessment we proceeded through several exercises. It took me a while to get past 30 years of conditioning to drive “cautiously”, but by the end of the day, I was flooring it in the parking lot and using the hydraulic emergency brake, reversing without turning around, and burning rubber in a circle.Scotty’s teaching style was positive and encouraging. He is truly passionate about teaching everyone at every level how to improve their driving and understanding of cars and the road in general. It was energizing to have the knowledge “click” and be able to touch (but not knock down) a cone with the tail of my car after doing a 180.Scotty’s Driving School taught me a lot and I’d recommend it to anyone with a sense of adventure who wants to get better behind the wheel. It’s not inexpensive, but if you consider the cost of tires (not for your car - for his) and insurance, it makes sense why it’s a bit costly. I also have a much deeper appreciation of whats involved in movie driving scenes!

My experience with Scotty and his school, was extraordinary. I have had the blessing of studying under many great teachers; scholastic, sport and the martial arts. Scotty falls right up there with anyone I have felt was truly masterful. The man possesses great sensitivity and I felt him constantly, silently adjusting his approach to meet me where I was at each moment. If youre a person wishing to feel more confident about the machine you use to hurl yourself and your loved ones, up and down freeways, this course addresses that challenge. The teachings immediately rewrote my approach to dealing with potentially life threatening situations we find ourselves in daily. Or, if youre looking to drive like a professional motion picture driver, you really couldnt find a better teacher. His years of professional driving experience become discerningly evident the moment you veer from the teaching or find yourself doubting your ability to meet the endeavour. If youre of the ilk, youll find yourself wanting to call him sensei or sifu, I sure did; he has that level of awareness and knowledge. I cannot recommend Scotty enough. Earnestly, I discovered and addressed questions of fear and trust, that I believe were only to be revealed to me through this very specific training. This was a discipline that was immensely exhilarating and dare I say spiritually elevating. It was definitely more than a driving experience. Thank you, Scotty.In Gratitude,Eddie

My partner and I recently spent the day at Scotty’s Stunt and Tactical Driving course. It was a great time. We both enjoy driving, but don’t drive professionally. Scotty helped us push our car control to the next level. He is friendly, explains concepts clearly, and uses drills to improve your control and confidence throughout the day. By the end of the day, we were running cones and pacing in a way I wouldn’t have imagined possible. He also kindly tailored the day to our interests, which included learning how to manage breaking traction (skidding). It was a ton of fun!

Extremely enjoyable experience. Scottys is knowledgeable, informative, skilled, and a great instructor. You get a lot of seat time in this course, more than enough to learn and refine new skills. Doesnt matter if youre taking the course purely for enjoyment or exploring it as a career path, youre going to have a great time! Honestly feel my driving technique and precision has improved more from those 2 days than the past 6 months! I feel like it got me out of a plateau in terms of driving skill I was stuck in and helped me find new areas to improve.

I had the best time at Scottys driving course!! Learning so much about driving I thought I knew.. I was totally impressed by his knowledge and patience. If You are interested in learning how to drive professionally as a stunt performer or brush up on your skills you already have I highly recommend this course!!

Not your normal driving school, you get to overcome your fears of driving. You will learn precision, and stunt experience from an excellent instructor that has more experience than I could think of. Highly recommend for any teens or adults who want to take this course.

Scottys course has taught me how to become a better driver on the road and feel more confident behind the wheel. During his stunt driving course I felt very safe and developed skills I didnt think was possible for me. Thank you Scotty for your patience in teaching me.

This was an amazing experience and I learned so much from it. I overcame my fears and learned to work through my frustrations and developed a confidence that surprised me. Thanks Scotty I’m ready to work for you anytime you need a hand. 😉

My 16 year old daughter took the teen driver course from Scotty and it was amazing how it increased her confidence and skills! She had only had her license for a few days, but I believe it is important to instill these skills early to avoid the development of bad habits. I feel she is definitely more skilled, makes better decisions, and is a much more confident driver than what I saw during the time she had her permit. I saw the value of having my daughter work with him, I can only imagine how much fun and how educational one of his precision driving courses must be. Its amazing how calm and collected Scotty is...the Cool just oozes out of him in an amazingly humble manner. Highly Recommended!

Gaining the trust of an individual to learn maneuvers her life depends on is one thing. Dismantling a lifetime of bad habits to uncover Karlys true driving abilities is another. Great job today kiddo!

I absolutely loved taking Scotty’s class. He managed to make me feel like I could do anything. I already felt like I was a good driver to begin with, but the level of mastery I walked away with was amazing to me. To even be able to attempt some of the skills seemed to fill me with apprehension, but when I actually got behind the wheel, I was hitting my marks left right and center no problem due to Scotty’s unique ability to give me the confidence that I could. Thank you for launching me into the next step of my career. What a ride!!

Hands down where you need to be if youre considering taking your driving skills to the next level. Whether its refining your daily driving in challenging traffic or mastering advanced on-camera driving, Scottys Stunt and Tactical Driving School should be your only consideration!

Scotty really creates a new perspective on the out look of young drivers. Really providing a safe and open environment to teach the youth of this upcoming growing hi desert how to safely maneuver vehicles. As the numbers continue to sadly grow in vehicle fatalities I feel like Scotty is the one of the only major efforts to help keep those numbers down . If I had any say in the education system I’d advise each young student to be required to pass this course as a requirement for graduation.

Just recently had an opportunity to apply what I learned from Scotty’s school on a feature, thank you Scotty. The skills gave me the confidence and awareness to be ready for the action that was going on and what could potentially happen. It made the day thoroughly enjoyable and much like Scotty’s school I didn’t want it to end. I highly recommend Scotty’s Stunt and Tactical Driving School to every driving enthusiast, especially those that desire to drive tactically in the film industry.

Exhilarating, heart pounding driving experience behind the wheel.Thank you Scotty for the lifelong experiences that are worth every penny spent.You passion to teach and develop from the experienced drives to the most novice is unparalleled. Thank you for taking the extra time to teach my 16 year old from the basics of driving manual to advanced techniques such as reverse 180 and drifting.We wish you the best of luck and safe driving.

Scotty is extremely kind and easy to work with! I highly recommend going to him for your stunt driving needs.

Working with Scotty has been wonderful. The skills I learned in his class have gotten me a substantial amount of work.

This is a real-world class. Despite the opportunities to learn and practice stunt-type driving, this class focuses on how to show up on set on your first job and be a professional. Newbie stunt drivers arent necessarily going to start their careers sliding and drifting cars in front of crews and cameras. New, on-camera drivers will often start their careers as non-descript background or precision-type drivers who can hit their marks and follow directions. I learned things I would not have thought of from keeping your windows up to a whole new vocabulary. Scotty Richards, veteran hollywood stunt driver, takes the time with each student and gives them what they need to work in the business. Scotty Richards believes being successful is by helping others achieve their goals. Youll just be another year older if you wait until next year....
