At Young Drivers, we are committed to helping students become competent, responsible and defensive drivers.

Only YOUNG DRIVERS teaches THE YOUNG DRIVERS OF CANADA APPROACH to COLLISIONFREE! driving.

The SILVER program is designed as a COMPLETE DEFENSIVE DRIVING PROGRAM PLUS USE OF VEHICLE FOR ROAD TEST, for a new driver, ANY AGE, who needs the use of a vehicle for the NS Driver's License Road Test. The Silver Package includes:

Learn from the best trained and patient instructors who will provide you with clear and articulate instruction. Only YD offers our exclusive Habits and Sub-Habits that teach YD students the skills they need to stay collision free.

Our Classroom Sessions include YD Videos and theory with certified, experienced and knowledgeable instructors. The total classroom time is 25 hours. 

The 13 YD in car lessons are private one on one lessons. Young Drivers believes that Evasive Maneuvers are an important part of your learning experience. We teach these skills in car, because that's where you will need them. They include:

* CogniFit, an on-line program, provides a state-of-the-art cognitive assessment and training program that will help you become a safer driver, help your memory as well as help you pass your road test.

FREE Co-Driver Program for your family:
Young Drivers includes a FREE online training program for the Co-Drivers who will help the new driver stay in control while practicing. The videos included will provide a helpful review for your new driver.

In addition to the 10 hours of private in-car lessons there is a Road Test Package which consists of a 15 minute warm up time just prior to the road test and the use of the YD vehicle for your road test. Attend the test with the reputation of both YD and the support of your instructor. 

With course completion the YOUNG DRIVERS program is accepted by the Insurance Bureau of Canada to allow an experience endorsement to reduce premiums. Our YD program is a recognized approved course to shorten the waiting time for road test and no further courses will be required to exit all the phases of the graduated licence system after the required waiting periods.

Note: After attending the first day of classroom and you have a Learner's License you may be able to begin in-car lessons. Call for details.
