Night Driving Practice

Students practice on 79th Street Causeway during rush hour to handle real traffic conditions. We drive Biscayne Boulevard north to show you how to navigate multi-lane roads. Night lessons include poorly-lit residential streets in North Bay Village.

Road Test Preparation

Your final lessons focus on maneuvers the DMV examiner will test. We practice parallel parking between actual parked cars, not cones. Three-point turns happen on narrow North Bay Village streets similar to test conditions.

Examiner Requirements

Learn what Florida examiners watch for

βœ… Exact Requirements: Students learn the specific requirements Florida examiners watch for during lane changes. You practice maintaining exact speed limits, which many test-takers forget under pressure. We review the scoring sheet so you know which mistakes cause automatic failure.

πŸš— Our Test Cars: Taking your test in our dual brake car gives the examiner confidence in the vehicle. Many students fail tests because their personal car has maintenance issues the examiner notices. Our cars pass inspection before every test appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many lessons do I need?

Most first-time drivers need 8-10 hours of professional instruction. Students with some previous practice might only need 6 hours. Adults who drove in other countries often learn faster than teenagers.

Can you pick me up at home?

Yes, we pick up students anywhere in North Bay Village at no extra charge. Pickups outside North Bay Village in areas like Aventura or Sunny Isles cost an additional fee. Tell us your exact address when scheduling.

Do you offer weekend lessons?

We teach Saturday and Sunday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Weekend slots fill up quickly, so book at least one week ahead. Evening lessons on weekdays go until 8:00 PM.

Can I take the road test with your car?

Students in our 10-hour package can use our car for the road test. The 6-hour and 8-hour packages offer this as an add-on option. Our car is already familiar to you from lessons.

Do you have Spanish-speaking instructors?

All our instructors teach in both English and Spanish. Request a bilingual instructor when you schedule your first lesson. We also explain the road test requirements in Spanish if needed.

What if I fail the permit test?

You can retake the permit test as many times as needed. Our online practice tests help you identify weak areas. Most students pass on their second attempt after reviewing missed questions.

How long does it take to get a license?

First-time teenage drivers typically need 3-4 months from starting the TLSAE course to receiving their license. Adults often complete the whole thing in 4-6 weeks. The timeline depends on how quickly you schedule lessons and tests.

Do you offer night driving practice?

Our 8-hour and 10-hour packages include night driving on North Bay Village streets. We practice in residential areas with limited street lighting. Night lessons must be scheduled after 6:00 PM.
