What makes Bill’s Driving School different?

Safety is our primary concern for drivers of all ages.

Our teen parent program is unique because we not only allow parents to ride along on a driving lesson with their son or daughter, we strongly encourage it. We invite parents to come along, not only to watch their child's progress, but also to get a chance to observe a professional driving instructor and to expose you to the very best habits, so that you can become a much better driving teacher yourself.

• Safer training vehicles. Our driving lessons are conducted in cars specially equipped with accelerator and brake controls on the instructor’s side, unlike other driving schools. (DMV only requires that training vehicles have a brake pedal.) This enables our instructors to actually drive the car, not just to stop it, providing a much safer experience for the student. We also train in full size vehicles, not compact cars.


• Family friendly instruction. We encourage parents and/or family members to ride along during driving lessons, although many other schools don’t allow it,This allows them the opportunity to watch how a professional instructor teaches, greatly improving their own ability to coach their son or daughter, or other family member in a much safer manner.


• Defensive driving techniques. Just preparing the student to pass the driving test to get their driver’s license is not at all the sole focus of our lesson plan. We train our students in defensive driving techniques in a wide range of driving environments so that they will become capable, responsible, safe drivers. The skills acquired in this process though, almost inevitably result in the high success rate of our student’s passing their driver’s test the first time.
