All about our driving lessons

driving lessons Drive Smart Georgia

Our teen drivers and adults have varying levels of experience out on the road. Therefore, instructional needs are as different as each individual student. In other words, no two lessons are ever alike.

Based on driver experience, our highly trained and patient instructors will cover how to handle the vehicle, road signs, rules of the road, and all basic road skills (straight line backing, parallel parking and the turnabout). The student will practice IPDE (identify, predict, decide and execute). Residential, interstate, and rush hour driving will also be covered as experience warrants.

By law, students are required to have their permit with them whenever they are driving. For the safety reasons, we strongly recommend that students wear closed-toe shoes (no slip-ons or slippers) for all driving lessons.

COVID-19 Safety Precautions during our driving lessons

  • All lessons will continue to be conducted from our locations in order to give our instructors more time to disinfect our vehicles between sessions.
  • Before the lesson, each student must answer a quick health questionnaire and have their temperature checked with a no-contact scan thermometer.
  • If both the instructor and student are fully vaccinated, neither has to wear a mask during the driving lesson. Even though their child is fully vaccinated, parents can request that the instructor wear a mask and we will be happy to comply. We ask for honesty from our parents about whether their teens are fully vaccinated or not.
  • Our instructors have signed agreements that they will not report to work if they do not feel well.
  • Upon arrival, please stay in your vehicle. You will receive a text from your instructor when your driving lesson is scheduled to start. The text will include the vehicle number of the car your child will use for the lesson. Vehicle numbers are located on the front and back bumpers of our cars. Our instructor will be standing next to the vehicle. We’re doing this to limit your contact with our office staff. Everything will be conducted outside or in the vehicle.
  • Instructors will disinfect every surface, switch, mirror, steering wheel, seats and more before and after each driving lesson.

Note: Learner’s permit or international license is required for all driving lessons. Our lessons meet Joshua’s Law requirements.

Road Test Tune-Ups at Drive Smart Georgia

Georgia driver's license test

Our extremely popular Road Test Tune-Ups are back, much to the delight of our parents. A Road Test Tune-Up is a two-hour lesson and evaluation. It’s the perfect way to assess a driver’s road test readiness.

In addition to practicing all basic road skills (straight line backing, parallel parking and the turnabout), overall driving behavior will be evaluated to make sure teens and adults are prepared to pass the road test.

If students have not had a lesson in over a month, it’s a great way to sharpen up those driving skills. When taken just before the road test, students are apt to be relaxed and much more confident.

Road Test Tune-Up – $150

  • Practice skills before taking the road test
  • 2-hour refresher course builds confidence!
