“Amazing program! I took the full program package with my Learner's liscence. The in-class sessions were super informative and gave me a full understanding of driving, it's risks, using your car efficiently and safely, and to keep it in great condition. The in-car sessions are a great way to gain practice time on the roads, in parking lots, and doing emergency maneuvers to build confidence in new or experienced drivers. All the instructors are very friendly, encouraging, and make a comfortable and safe environment for the students. After completing the course I was able to get my N (Class 7 Liscence) on my first attempt! I highly recommend this driving school for everyone.”

“As an adult with absolutely no previous driving experience whatsoever as well as no access to a car/driving supervisor on top of a busy schedule, I can confidently say that Young Drivers changed my life. Their defensive driving techniques transformed me from a non-driver with serious anxiety surrounding driving to a confident, safe driver with great safety habits. Their instructors, particularly Rick Murray, are absolutely amazing at curbing anxiety and giving precise, clear instructions; I loved the personalized in-car experience. The way the instructors are able to pinpoint each of your driving difficulties and help you work on them until mastery is absolutely astounding. CogniFit for brain/reflex training was an added bonus, plus customer service is friendly and highly organized (thanks for everything, Cal!). To top it off, they do pick-ups/drop-offs right from your house! I actually enjoy driving now, and there is no way I could have gotten here without YD.”
