Young Drivers St. Thomas Driving School

The Best Driving School in St. Thomas

For more than 50 years, Young Drivers of Canada has been teaching Canadians how to drive and survive. We offer the most comprehensive driver training courses in Canada, including YD’s exclusive in-car emergency response techniques training. Learning to drive is one thing; learning to drive and survive is another. A collision occurs every 2.5 seconds in North America. At Young Drivers, students learn preventative and reactive measures to safely and smartly avoid becoming a statistic. We call it the Collisionfree!™ Approach.

First, we teach why crashes happen and how to prevent them. Then we teach students life-saving skills to recognize the risks on the road and to respond effectively. Students will learn the skills and experience them with hand-on YD instructors both in the classroom and behind the wheel. Qualified YD instructors build confidence with instruction in essential skills, well beyond what’s needed to pass a road test.

A lot has changed in the 50 years YD has been training new drivers, so we are always looking for new ways to build a strong foundation of knowledge for our students. We offer the most comprehensive driver training courses in Canada, including YD's exclusive in-car emergency techniques training.

Do you want to brush up on parking skills or review roundabouts? Whatever skills you'd like to hone to get ready for a test or just improve your driving techniques, we provide one on one instruction so you learn at your own pace.
