BENEFITS

What Are The Benefits of Getting a Learner's Licence?

A license represents independence, freedom, and a step towards adulthood. With the wheel in your hands, and the wind in your hair, there is nothing stopping you. Before you get your driver's license, though, you most often need to get a learner's permit. While it might seem like a hassle, there are actually benefits that come with your permit.

It's A Requirement

Getting a learner's permit isn't just a good idea; it's the law. To get a driver's license, someone first has to get Learner's Licence. This forces future drivers to go through the "introductory level" of driving. This ensures new drivers are exposed to night driving, inclement weather, highway driving, etc.

How To Get A Learner's Licence.

For those who need to go through the permit process, getting a Learner's Licence is easy. All you have to do is head down your local BMV, and take a written test. There's no driving needed, because that's what you need the permit for in the first place.

Transitioning From A Learner's Licence To A Drivers License

A permit is a temporary thing, but it can be scary taking that leap. The more time you spend driving, though, the less frightening your license test will be. Also, the more road rule knowledge you have, the easier it will be to move from theory to practice.

Our Values
Our fleet of vehicles are duel controlled for the safety of the instructor and the learner. All our instructors hold an instructors certificate which is renewed every two years.

Our goal is to train the students to be fully prepared to take their driver's test thereby instilling confidence in their driving ability.
