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.

“My driving instructor, Keith, was very calm, super friendly and encouraging. He definitely helped be become a better driver. Great experience! I would highly recommend this program.”

“Keith was a great instructor and I was lucky to be able to have him for my time with young drivers. He was very clear and friendly when giving instructions and made sure we kept practicing until I felt confident in the skills. He made the lessons fun and I felt way more confident in my driving abilities afterwards. I would recommend him to anyone who is considering the young drivers program! Wonderful experience.”
Kristin McMillan
“I'm glad that I chose yd Waterloo for my drivers ed. The course plan and materials are well structured. The online resources are useful. The in class instructor was well experienced and made the class interactive and interesting. He shared a lot of real life experiences and tips. I had Mr. Keith as my in car instructor. He was always punctual, patient and understanding. He explained safe driving habits and helped me practice the same. Also gave me valuable feedback to practice until next lesson. Also, he clarified all my questions regarding road rules and various scenarios. Overall, I'm a much confident driver now, having transitioned from driving on one side of the road to the other.”
Roshana Subramaniam
“I would highly recommend the young drivers course! My instructor, Keith was really helpful when I asked my questions and he gave clear instructions while I was driving. He has made me a confident driver and has prepared me for my G2 test!”
Carson Einwechter
“My experience at YD was great. The in-class teacher was amazing, funny and helpful. He made the days go by quickly, and I learned a lot. As for the in-car, I had Mike as my teacher. He was really good, and taught me valuable skills, as well as being easygoing and fun to talk to. I never felt nervous or scared of him or driving while getting my lessons. I would highly recommend YD to any new driver. You get what you pay for with driving schools, and although YD is slightly more expensive, it pays off with the quality of the education you receive.”
Zoë Boland
“Young drivers was a very busy place but I honestly can tell why because they make you extremely prepared and confident driving and being exposed to what’s out there on the road. My in car instructor Jennifer was the absolute best, she made the experience 10x better by making you extremely comfortable and by far just a good teacher. Kevin made the the in class bearable with his amazing personality. Might take you longer than you expect to get to your end goal but be patient because it’s all worth it :)”
Louise De Andrade
“My driving instructor Keith was great! Super friendly, helpful and approachable. I found the teaching techniques to be very clear and that made my lessons go much smoother and put me at ease. Would highly recommend.”
Abigail Benyair
“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.”

Tool for Assessing Driver’s Risk of Crash
Worried about the senior drivers in your family?  Wonder if they are safe to drive?  On the YD website, we feature CogniFit - Senior Driver, an online cognitive assessment that can help determine the 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.
