Young Drivers - The driver training program that is right for you:

  • Patient, qualified Instructors
  • City & highway driving
  • Emergency maneuvers included
  • Courses or individual lessons
  • Road Test packages! 

Even before drivers get behind the wheel, extensive classroom instruction from YD's annually re-certified instructors will teach the exclusive YD Habits and Sub-Habits, focusing on skills they'll need to stay Collisionfree!™!  In-Class instructors teach skills like freeway/highway driving, head-on collision avoidance, gravel shoulder drop-off, rear crash avoidance - just to name a few.  Classrooms are Closed Captioned for the hearing impaired.  The online-based Cognifit! program helps you to enhance your cognitive skills so students become better drivers.

The in-car instruction is taught privately, one-on-one without peer pressure in a current model, dual controlled car.  Specialized equipment on certain modified vehicles at Young Drivers may include hand controls and various devices to enable driving for those with physical disabilities.

Please note: Due to the popularity of the YD course and the overwhelming response to catch up from COVID, our system is running slowly. We are in the process of updating our server to respond to this issue and have it running more efficiently ASAP. We appreciate your patience.

“The program helped me gain confidence and feel more comfortable behind the wheel. Keith was an amazing teacher and taught me the skills in a way that I could best understand. A truly remarkable experience with a true G”

“Lauren is an AMAZING instructor! I took a pre-test with her for my G two weeks before doing the actual test and because of her assistance and her knowledge I PASSED!!! Lauren is such a star member of this company and I couldn’t be more happy with how easy she explained maneuvers and instructions. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!!”
Nikki Staley
“My son just finished with YD KW today after passing his G2 test! His success was all thanks to his instructor Mike Gervais, He was always patient, kind and super easy to talk to, my boy always felt comfortable and confident behind the wheel when he was driving with Mike. I would HIGHLY recommend YD and Instructor Mike to anyone looking for drivers training.”
Beth
“I would highly recommend the Young Divers course. I've become a very confident driver with the help of my instructor Keith. At Young Drivers they walk you through the fundamentals of driving, and teach you to become cautious of other road users. For those who are signing their children into a driving course, or if you are a university of collage student, I would highly recommend YD for that extra confidence boost!”

Tool for Assessing Driver’s Risk of Crash

The CogniFit program also includes training to possibly reduce that risk. We also provide in-car assessments that can help seniors understand modern driving techniques or prepare for government re-testing.

Rehabilitation Options

We work with clients to help them get behind the wheel again. We work with rehabilitation clinics and occupational therapists across the country providing driver competency assessments and hand controls training in many cities.

Free Online Learner’s Practice Test

If you know someone going for their G1 (learner’s permit) or have a client who could use a rules of the road refresher, please direct them to our website http://www.yd.com to take this free test for a spin.
