Road Test Preparation
We teach the specific maneuvers DMV examiners look for during road tests in Miami-Dade County. Students practice parallel parking between cones set to DMV spacing requirements before trying it with actual parked cars. The three-point turn gets practiced on residential streets with the same width as DMV test areas.
Our instructors take students to practice near the North Miami Beach DMV office at 16385 NW 2nd Avenue. Students learn the roads around this location since many tests start there. We also practice near the Aventura DMV at 18255 West Dixie Highway.
📍 Common Test Locations
• North Miami Beach DHSMV Office - 16385 NW 2nd Avenue
• Aventura area testing routes off Biscayne Boulevard
• Roads around Alonzo and Tracy Mourning Senior High School
Students can take their road test at an authorized testing center or directly at a DHSMV office. Some students prefer the testing center option for the specific appointment times available.

Insurance Benefits and Discounts
Insurance Rate Reduction
Completing an approved driver training course qualifies you for an insurance rate reduction certificate in Florida. Many insurers reduce premiums by 5-10% for teen drivers.
Florida Requirements
Florida law requires $10,000 in personal injury protection (PIP) and $10,000 in property damage liability. These are minimum amounts - most drivers carry higher limits.
The defensive driving techniques taught in our 8-hour and 10-hour packages specifically address the situations that cause most accidents for new drivers. Insurance companies recognize this training when calculating rates.
What to Expect During Your First Lesson
Instructor Arrives
Clearly marked driving school car. Explains dual control system and brake pedal location.
Vehicle Setup
Adjust seat, mirrors, and steering wheel. Learn basic controls - signals, lights, wipers, parking brake.
Practice Begins
Start on quiet residential streets. Practice stopping at stop signs and making right turns.
Students typically stay on low-traffic residential streets for the first lesson. The instructor gives immediate feedback on steering control and speed management.
Most first-time students feel nervous initially but relax after 20-30 minutes behind the wheel.

Teen Drivers and School Pickups
We pick up teen students directly from Dr. Michael M. Krop Senior High School, Alonzo and Tracy Mourning Senior High, and the Norman S. Edelcup/Sunny Isles Beach K-8 School. Afternoon lessons work best for students who finish classes between 2-3 PM. The instructor waits in the school pickup area and meets students at a predetermined location.
📚 Florida's Graduated Licensing Law
Teens must hold a learner's permit for 12 months before applying for a full license.
Required: 50 hours of supervised driving including 10 hours at night
Our packages help fulfill part of these hours with professional instruction.
👨👩👧 Parent Observation
Parents can sit in the back seat during lessons if they want to observe, though many prefer to let the instructor work one-on-one with their teen.
📦 Recommended Packages
For teen drivers, we recommend the 8-hour or 10-hour package since most haven't been in a driver's seat before.
Traffic School and Ticket Dismissal
🎓 Basic Driver Improvement (BDI)
Florida drivers who receive traffic tickets can take BDI course to avoid points on license.
Allowed five times in lifetime, no more than once every 12 months.
4-hour online course costs less than increased insurance premiums from ticket points.
⚖️ Court-Ordered Classes
Require 8-hour or 12-hour Advanced Driver Improvement course depending on judge's order.
Cover defensive driving techniques and crash prevention strategies. Completing by deadline keeps license active.
📝 Points on Record: Stay on Florida driving record for three years and accumulate toward license suspension. Taking BDI course after your first ticket prevents that point from affecting insurance rates.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many lessons do I need before taking the road test?
Most first-time drivers need 8-10 hours of instruction to feel comfortable with all required maneuvers. Students with some prior driving background might be ready after 6 hours. Your instructor will tell you honestly when you're prepared for testing.
Can you pick me up from school?
Yes, we pick up students from all Miami-Dade high schools and middle schools. Just let us know your school name and dismissal time when booking.
What if I fail the road test?
Many students need two attempts to pass the DMV road test. You can retake the test after 7 days. We offer additional practice lessons focused on whatever skills the examiner marked as needing improvement.
Do I need my own car for lessons?
No, you'll use our dual control training vehicle for all lessons. This car has a brake pedal on the instructor's side for safety. You can take the road test in our vehicle or use a family car that meets DHSMV requirements.
How long is the learner's permit valid?
Florida learner's permits expire after 18 months from the issue date. You must take your road test before expiration or apply for a new permit.
What happens if weather is bad on my lesson day?
Light rain makes good practice conditions since you'll eventually drive in rain. Heavy storms or flooding lead to lesson cancellation with full rescheduling at no charge. Your instructor calls you if weather makes driving unsafe.
Can I practice highway driving during my first lesson?
Highway practice comes after you're comfortable with basic vehicle control and lane changes. Most students are ready for I-95 by their third or fourth lesson.
Do your vehicles have air conditioning?
Yes, all our training vehicles have functioning air conditioning, which matters during Miami's hot months. The cars are cleaned between students.
