Young Drivers Dartmouth Driving School

The Best Driving School in Nova Scotia

Our exclusive Collisionfree! ™ Approach trains new drivers to anticipate problems well in advance they can be proactive in their driving so that these problems do not affect them. Since good decision making is critical to avoiding collisions we also have an online program called CogniFit® to help with that.

It was developed by a cognitive psychologist to improve mental skills. Rather than just teaching you how to pass the road test, our goal is to keep you safe and alive once you have your licence. Once you pass the test you're on your own and that's when the real test begins.  

Drive To Survive In Any Situation

All of our courses for new drivers have four key components to effectively change driving habits:

  • 25 hours of in-class learning where you learn how collisions are caused and how to prevent them
  • Online cognitive training to help with decision-making skills
  • 10 hours of one-on-one in-car training where you put the classroom learning into action
  • Online Co-Driver program to help between in-car sessions with your instructor - the idea behind the Co-Driver program is that if the person you are practising with has a better understanding of what we are teaching to make practice more effective

“10/10 would drive again”
Christopher Howard
“Peter Dicks was an amazing in class and in car teacher. The material is engaging and really educates you on how to become a defensive driver. He was extremely knowledgable in class and made the learning interesting. In car, he was calm, patient and was able to point out things that were making me more nervous, which as soon as I became aware of, helped me overcome. I passed first test and have been driving for 2 years with no accidents (yet! touch wood). :)”
