As a certified instructor, my opinion is often requested, & rarely given ( but done so freely)…read more I'm a volunteer speaker, providing the required 'Share the Road' unit to classes/schools across the state. I can honestly say, that students from the DRIVE! school are provided with teachers who genuinely care & current, accurate curriculum. They know more than other classes/schools & are better prepared. When I present the "Look Twice NC" Program, students are always receptive & grateful. Their commitment to every student's survival is clear in their efforts, to not-only, cover the curriculum, but also invite the Sheriff's' Officers & us, out to every class!

From the owner: We believe there s more to driving than passing a state exam. Learning to drive centers on safe…read moredriving habits, awareness of fellow drivers, and the confidence needed to securely navigate any situation. By combining lively classroom instruction with behind-the-wheel sessions, Drive. Driving School teaches students to remain calm and responsible on the road at all times. Experienced Each Drive. instructor provides the experience needed to put students at ease, as well as thorough background checks and full accreditation by the NC Department of Motor Vehicles. Our lead instructor, Johanna Newman, holds a Masters in Education and is state-certified to teach Drivers Education to both teens and adults. An educator for 15 years in the Mooresville graded schools and at Pine Lake Preparatory and a native of the Lake Norman region, Johanna has three children of her own so she understands the challenges of teaching students to drive. Patient Recognizing that each student learns at his or her own pace, we make sure students understand each lesson and welcome their questions. To help even nervous drivers relax, our instructors never yell at students or minimize their concerns. If students need more instruction than required by North Carolina, they may schedule additional sessions until they feel comfortable and ready to test with the DMV. (Additional sessions are charged at $50 per hour.) We also provide private lessons on request...

My daughter attended this program. Be advised that it is all classroom training with the exception…read moreof 6 extra hours of actual driving tacked on at the end. This was not clear to me in the course description. Also, we ended up having to go to the DMV with our daughter for her to take the road test, even though we were promised at the end of the class that our daughter would be ready to just get her picture taken and her license would be granted. There was some issue with the driver not actually being a certified instructor for the state of TN. The people running the program offered to pay the fee we had to incur, but this did not account for the $425 we had already paid for the program, nor the 4 hours of time off work I had to take in order to wait for my daughter to take the road test with the DMV.

EVERY teen NEEDS this course! DO NOT SKIP THIS!!!!…read more I think anyone with a teen driver with access to this program is INSANE if you don't attend this class. It's a $99 sign up fee, which is returned to you if you sign up with a paper check (yes, you can mail it in). But honestly, the $99 donation to attend this is a steal and INFINITELY VALUABLE if you value your kiddo's life! We did the course 2 years ago for our older teen (pre-covid) & now just completed for the younger teen (post-covid). I wouldn't care if I had to wear a mask the whole day to do this class - I PROMISE you it's PRICELESS to give your teen driver some REAL experience and some good education about driving hazards. Driver training is just not the same as it used to be (and people drive larger cars and faster speeds than 20-30-40 years ago when we all learned!), and even with a year of permit-driving your kid won't get what they can at this course. Hazard/avoidance skills, ABS steering skills, SKID skills (yes, really skidding, like control out of a 360-spin), and drop-curb (tire off road in gravel) experience, curve control, even a simulated drunk-driving (affectionately called "drunk goggles") experience. There's probably even more in there that I forgot! Instructors are AWESOME and really give the full-experience to every kid. YOU DO NOT NEED A VEHICLE to do this - so even if you have to Uber to the program that's fine! An adult does need to attend with the teen, 30 hours on permit driving to attend (yes, they can go before full-license). Don't be put off by the ONE presentation by a Kia Dealer/Rep - Kia (in Charlotte anyway) sponsors and provides the vehicles for this program - it's why the cost is still $99 after years of the program running! Let Kia get their little 'schpeal' in & be patient, again this is abut preparing your kid for REAL driving scenarios that you will never be able to provide in a SAFE environment! Are there some wait times, yes on occasion - let's all be ADULTS here and understand things are sometimes beyond control and 'crap' happens. The program is SMOOTHLY RUN and you'll get all your info by email of what to do, when to go, number to call for issues, etc. (just READ the emails peeps!). Again - I promise you will not regret the skills your teen (and even YOU, you'll get to drive a little also!) will get from this experience. https://putonthebrakes.org
