Deep Brook – October 5

We now offer the classroom part of this program as a self-paced online course.

Please Note*** If you are registered for our course and are hoping to get your fulls after 9 months, please be sure to purchase a road test receipt as soon as possible after getting your learners licence. We recommend that you purchase it at the same time. There are times when it could take as long as 6 weeks to get people in for a road test.

Escort to road test using our car and a pre-test review immediately preceding the test included in the course price.

Parent/Adult Student Information Letter


Dear Student:

Thank you for choosing Discover Driving. We are confident that our instructors both in the classroom and in the vehicle will make a marked difference in your child’s confidence and ability to drive safely.

Our online course is offered through a company called CarsLearning.  Once we have received your registration information and payment on account, we will register you with them.  You will then receive an email in which there is a link you will have to follow to activate your account.

The online course is broken down into 20 modules.  You must have the first 5 completed before we can start scheduling you to drive.

Beginners License:  Once you obtain your learners license, please let us know.   The rotation is based on your schedule and that of our instructors.

The In-Car Component:  The biggest area of interest seems to be the driving hours. We give each student 10 hours of behind-the-wheel driving. These hours will now be extended over the new 9-month waiting period from the time the student gets his beginners license until he/she is ready to take the road test.  Our plan is to give each newly licensed student the majority of hours of instruction immediately once we have been notified that they have their learners.  The intent is to save 3 or 4 hours of lessons so that we can consistently drive the student in the weeks leading up to the road test, thereby ensuring that he or she approaches the road test date feeling confident and competent to pass the test.  In the case of students who have held beginners licenses for over nine months when they enter the course, however, we work with them so that they can do their test as soon as possible.

Road-Test Receipt:  Sometime during the first three months of the waiting period is an appropriate time to purchase the Road Test Receipt from the Dept of Motor Vehicles.  This receipt is payment in advance for the examiner to take your son/daughter on their test, and must be purchased before a road test can be booked.  After getting the receipt there may be as much as a six-week to two-month wait at the DMV to get a driving test date, especially when we are approaching holiday seasons (such as summer vacation and the Christmas season!) When you receive the receipt, call us and let us book the date for you.  Since we provide our vehicle for your test, we schedule around the availability of our vehicles.

Do not lose this receipt.  If it is not presented on the day of the test, your son/daughter may not be able to proceed unless a new one is purchased. These are Dept of Motor Vehicle rules.

Missed Driving Appointments:  If you cannot make a scheduled driving time, just call us the night before and we will reschedule.

Because of the costs associated with a missed appointment, we find we now have to charge an administrative fee of $30.00 to cover our expenses if a student doesn’t call to cancel a driving appointment. We will make every effort to accommodate your schedule so this situation does not arise.

The Driver Ed Certificate:  Keep this certificate for at least two years so that it can be used to upgrade your 5N license to a 5R license two years and a day from the issue date on your license.  If the certificate is lost, it can be re-issued at a cost of $10.00 by contacting us.
