Learning to drive in North Miami Beach means navigating busy intersections on Biscayne Boulevard, mastering parallel parking on narrow residential streets near NE 163rd Street, and handling the unique challenges of Florida traffic laws. Our school operates from 633 NE 167th Street, offering lessons Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 6:30 PM, with Saturday availability until 4:00 PM by appointment.
π Florida Requirement: Florida requires all first-time drivers to complete the TLAE (Traffic Law and Substance Abuse Education) course before obtaining a Learner's Permit. This 4-hour class covers state-specific regulations, including the requirement that headlights must illuminate the road 150 feet ahead and the proper response when smoke appears under your hood - pull right and stop immediately.
Why Our Driving School Stands Out
Our instructors hold current FLHSMV licenses and bring an average of 15 years of teaching experience to every lesson. We maintain a vehicle fleet with dual-control systems, allowing instructors to intervene during critical moments while you build confidence behind the wheel.
| What You Get | Our School | Typical Competitors |
|---|---|---|
| Pick-up from home/work | Yes | Usually no |
| Same car for lessons and road test | Yes | Not always available |
| Multilingual instruction | English, Spanish, Russian | Limited options |
| Weekend availability | Saturday lessons | Monday-Friday only |
| Pre-road test vehicle inspection | Included | Extra charge |
π Convenient Location: The school's location puts you within a 10-minute drive of the North Miami Beach DMV office at 16950 NE 19th Avenue, where you'll eventually take your road test. This proximity lets us conduct practice runs on the actual routes examiners use during testing.
Meet Your Driving Instructors
Fernando
Focuses on adult learners who need to overcome driving anxiety, using residential neighborhoods for initial lessons before progressing to busier roads.
Dadiana
Works primarily with teenage students, teaching defensive driving techniques that reduce insurance premiums after certification.
JesΓΊs
Handles advanced maneuvers - three-point turns in tight spaces, highway merging on I-95, and navigating the complex traffic patterns around Aventura Mall.
Alexandra
Specializes in road test preparation, having accompanied over 300 students to their DMV appointments in the past two years.
π Language Options: All instructors communicate in English and Spanish fluently. Russian-language instruction is available for students who prefer learning technical terms and traffic rules in their native language.
Driving Lessons Tailored to Your Situation
π¨βπ Teen Drivers (Ages 15-18)
Florida law mandates that teens hold a Learner's Permit for 12 months before taking the road test. During this period, they must complete 50 hours of supervised driving, including 10 hours after sunset. Our teen package includes 15 hours of professional instruction that count toward this requirement.
π Lessons 1-5
The first lesson covers vehicle controls - adjusting mirrors for blind spot elimination, proper seat positioning for pedal reach, and understanding dashboard warning lights.
Focus on residential driving: stop sign protocol, school zone speed limits (15 mph when children are present), and right-of-way rules at unmarked intersections.
π£οΈ Lessons 6-10
Highway skills on the Palmetto Expressway and I-95.
Teens learn lane positioning, safe following distances (the three-second rule), and proper mirror checking before lane changes.
β Lessons 11-15
Concentrate on the specific maneuvers tested during the DMV road exam.
Final preparation and test-ready skills.
π° Insurance Benefit: Upon completion, students receive a certificate that qualifies them for insurance discounts ranging from 10% to 15%, saving families $300 to $800 annually for the first three years.
π Adult Learners
Many adults come to us after moving from countries where they never needed to drive, or after years away from driving following license suspension. The first lesson includes a skill assessment on quiet streets near our office - we evaluate your comfort level with acceleration, braking smoothness, and spatial awareness.
π― Custom Lesson Plans
Based on this evaluation, we create a custom lesson plan. A complete beginner typically needs 10 to 12 hours before feeling road-test ready.
π International Experience
Someone with overseas driving experience might need just 5 hours to learn Florida-specific rules and adapt to right-hand traffic.
π Road Test Preparation Package
This focused program targets the five most common reasons for road test failure in Miami-Dade County:
- 1. Incomplete stops at stop signs (you must count to three with wheels fully stopped)
- 2. Speeding in school zones (even 1 mph over the 15 mph limit fails you)
- 3. Improper lane changes (failing to check mirrors and blind spots)
- 4. Incorrect hand positioning during turns (hand-over-hand technique required)
- 5. Parallel parking outside the 18-inch curb distance limit
π Package Includes: Four one-hour sessions focusing exclusively on these elements, plus use of our vehicle for the actual road test. Our cars pass the DMV's pre-test vehicle inspection checklist: working horn, brake lights, turn signals, emergency brake, and current registration.
π΄ Senior Driver Refresher Course
Drivers over 55 can take our voluntary refresher program to maintain their skills and potentially reduce insurance costs. The course reviews recent changes to Florida traffic laws, updates on right-of-way rules at new roundabouts being installed throughout North Miami Beach, and techniques for driving safely with age-related vision or reaction time changes.
Step-by-Step Guide to Your Florida Driver License
π Step 1: Complete TLAE Course (4 hours)
This state-mandated class can be taken online or in a classroom. Cost is typically $35 to $50. You'll receive a certificate valid for one year, which you'll need when applying for your Learner's Permit.
βοΈ Step 2: Pass the Written Knowledge Test
The computer test at DMV contains 50 questions about traffic signs, road rules, and safe driving practices. You need 40 correct answers to pass. The test is available in over 10 languages.
Required Documents: TLAE certificate, proof of identity (passport or birth certificate), and Social Security card. The permit fee is $48.
π Step 3: Practice with Your Learner's Permit
Teens must log 50 hours of supervised driving. Adults have no minimum requirement but should practice until comfortable with all maneuvers. You cannot drive alone with just a Learner's Permit - a licensed driver 21 or older must sit in the passenger seat.
π Step 4: Schedule Your Road Test
DMV appointments fill up 6 to 8 weeks in advance during busy periods (summer months, December). Book through the FLHSMV website or by calling the North Miami Beach office. The road test fee is $20 for first attempt, $20 for subsequent attempts if needed.
β Step 5: Take the Road Test
Arrive 30 minutes early with your Learner's Permit, proof of vehicle insurance, and vehicle registration. The examiner will check that your car meets safety standards before beginning.
The test lasts 15 to 20 minutes and covers residential streets, one highway segment, and parking maneuvers.
π Step 6: Receive Your License
If you pass, you'll get a paper temporary license immediately. Your plastic card arrives by mail within 10 business days at the address on file with DMV.
What You Master in Our Lessons
Beyond basic vehicle operation, we teach Florida-specific rules that catch many students off-guard. A solid yellow centerline on your side of the road means no passing - this differs from some states where only double yellow prohibits passing. When approaching a stopped school bus with flashing red lights, traffic from both directions must stop, regardless of highway dividers.
Thunderstorms
Handling sudden afternoon thunderstorms that reduce visibility to 50 feet.
Tourist Traffic
Dealing with tourists who miss highway exits and cut across multiple lanes.
Pedestrians
High pedestrian traffic in residential areas where children play near the street.

Student Results Speak for Themselves
Martha Collins
Completed our adult package after moving from New York City, where she had never needed to drive. After 10 lessons focused on highway confidence and parallel parking, she passed her road test on the first attempt.
Karen Stuart
Brought her teenage daughter for the complete teen program. The patient instruction approach helped her daughter overcome nervousness about driving in traffic. She passed both written and practical exams on her first tries.
Michelle Parker
Failed her road test twice at other schools before coming to us. Our instructor identified that she was rolling through stop signs - wheels never fully stopped. Three focused lessons on complete stops and proper intersection scanning helped her pass the third attempt.
