2. Driving Hours ($70/hour)

The number of hours needed depends on the amount of experience the student has. If the student has over 40 hours of driving practice, they can take the test in a one-hour session. For those interested in receiving some instruction along with the test, choosing two hours is advisable. However, if the student has little or no practice, it’s best to opt for 4, 6, or more hours of driving lessons. Driving hours are priced at $70/hour. Don’t forget to take a screenshot of the receipt to text to John Pledger.

Scroll all the way to the bottom and add the students name to the waitlist. When I add more slots, I email everyone on signup genius and you can reserve a driving slot. My schedule stays booked 3-4 months in advance but my other two instructors usually add slots weekly. We work hard to get everyone scheduled before their 16th birthday.


Yes. Adults can take the driving lessons and we will prepare them to take the driving test at the DMV, if that is their goal. Adults must have a learner's license before beginning the lessons.
