Adult Waiver Class
This adult waiver program (Adults out of H.S) also follows the procedures outlined by the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles. The adult waiver also calls for seven 50-minute periods. A driving test is administered by the instructor on the last day of instruction. Instead of being granted a temporary license upon successful completion of the course, the student is issued a certificate of waiver, which waives the 60 day waiting period and the required road test at the local DMV office. Currently these can be mailed/faxed to the DMV to obtain your license.

Intro to Driving Class
Teaching someone to drive can be an intimidating event. Going on an empty parking lot is one thing: driving down the street is another. Traffic, Signs, Pedestrians, etc., all put a stress level on both the student and the parent. Let Drive Safe 757 reduce that stress. We offer an introductory class. Allow us to move the student from the parking lot to the roadway.
This brief (60 minute) session introduces safe stops and turns, centering the vehicle using the mirror. We do not promise the student will be proficient upon completion, but they will be more comfortable driving.
Cost: $75
*Discounts available for any lesson or class if taken with us after this Introduction session.

* We highly recommend that when scheduling individualized lessons, they be taken 7 days apart. This provides the student with ample time to practice the acquired skills between classes.
