“Thanks young drivers. Starting my course soon and highly recommend. Much better then blue water driving school”
Sean Cox
“Blake was a good instructor and thanks to him I passed my G2 with a 100%! I would recommend young drivers to anyone.”
Jenco Dekker
“I was driving up highway 10 a few years ago and someone drove into my lane head-on. I had a few seconds to react, my YD training kicked in and I began making preparations for emergency evasive manoueveres. My passenger was more upset than I was. YD and Blake teach you how to drive and survive! Today, I am the proud holder of a class CZ commercial Bus Driver's license and I owe a lot of it to Blake and my YD training!”

Young Drivers of Canada Drivers Education Programs

Our exclusive programs at Young Drivers of Canada not only how to drive and how to park, but also include comprehensive training for exclusive in-car emergency response techniques. New Drivers also receive CogniFit training, an exclusive YD cognitive training program that can improve short-term memory, dealing with divided attention, reaction times, changing plans and speed of judgment. By improving cognitive driving skills, YD graduates have a much better chance of avoiding collisions.

Our YD driving instructors also teach key skills including freeway/highway driving, head-on collision avoidance, gravel shoulder drop-off, and rear crash avoidance - just to name a few. The instructor will demonstrate life-saving techniques that you will safely practice with a professional by your side. This means that if and when this happens for real, you'll know what to do!

For over 40 years, Young Drivers of Canada has been teaching new drivers of all ages. We offer the most comprehensive driver training courses in Canada, including our exclusive in-car emergency response techniques training. YD has taught over one million novice drivers to drive safely. We can help you to pass your G1 or G2 road test, gain confidence in your driving, or brush up on your driving skills.

Young Drivers own Collisionfree!™ Approach teaches a series of habits and sub-habits that demonstrate how to watch out for other drivers' errors - mistakes that could result in avoidable collisions. We monitor the quality of our programs on an ongoing basis with four levels of quality control, and Young Drivers of Canada is the ONLY ISO9001:2008 registered Canadian driving school. ONLY Young Drivers teaches exclusive emergency maneuvers training, such as:

  • Rear Crash Avoidance
  • Emergency Braking
  • Emergency Swerving Techniques
  • Head-on Collision Avoidance

These are only a few of the life-saving defensive driving techniques YD students are taught. Notably, under Ontario’s graduated licensing regulations a novice driver may only drive on highways when accompanied by a licensed driving instructor. YD students are specifically taught how to drive on these busy roadways.
