Young Drivers New Minas/Kentville Driving School

The Best Driving School in New Minas/Kentville

Through our Collisionfree!™ Approach to driving, you will learn habits that will teach you to see and identify high-risk situations and respond to them before they become a serious problem. Through our GDL approved program, we will teach you to drive defensively, not just how to pass the road test.

Young Drivers uses a current program, tailored to local situations. Creating habits, risk perception, vehicle control, exercises and tests in the classroom are all key components to the Young Drivers Collisionfree!™ Approach to defensive driving. These new skills get carried over to the one-on-one in-car sessions where the student gets to build upon what they learned in the classroom.

“Very nice place to get your drivers Ed class at. But they are much faster at getting you in if you go down to the place instead of calling”
Daniel MacLeod
“What a great experience my son Nick is having with Young Drivers of Canada. From the beginning Carol has been so helpful answering any question we have in regards to the process. As for the classroom, Nick said Carol is funny and answers any questions he had. He has certainly learned a lot more in a short period of time than I could have taught him. He is now looking forward to starting the road practice and then getting his full license. Thanks to Carol for making this experience such a positive one for all of us :)”
