“Young drivers offers great preparation for the G2 driving test. The classroom and in car lessons were both very helpful and I wouldn't have felt comfortable taking my test without the help of instructors!”

Andrea Chang

“I had a great experience with Young Drivers both in the classroom and during my in-car lessons. Dan was a dedicated and friendly driving instructor for the past few months, and because of him I was able to pass my G2 on my first try today. He would answer any of my questions, and also gave great tips on how I could improve in my own time. The scheduling process was straight-forward and flexible, which made it very easy to prepare for the test. I would highly recommend Young Drivers to anyone looking for a thorough and enjoyable experience learning how to drive.”
