Are You Ready? Get Enough Practice, Be confident
Many people take their road test without really being prepared, many did not get enough driving practice, or they haven’T practiced the right way. Others get very nervous because they don’T know what to expect on the test, or they know they are not really ready for the test, but just want to try to pass the road test.
A good mix of driving lessons and parent or guardian supervised driving works great to increase the odds of success.

Our driving lessons are design to prepare you for your test the right way, and give you a preview of what the test is about. The DMV requires driver 17 & under to get 50 hours of driving practice of which 15 are at night and recommends drivers 18 and older get at least 30 hours of driving practice, Our instructors will not just take you for a ride; they will prepare you for the test each time you go out for a driving lesson. The DMV wants you to pass the test the first time.
