Questions people ask before the first lesson.

Your Ontario G1 or G2 licence, or your valid licence from home if you're still allowed to drive on it. Bring glasses or contacts if your licence says you need them, and wear comfortable flat shoes.

No. Lessons are in our small automatic hatchback, which has a second brake on the instructor's side.

No, automatic only. Most Ontario road tests are taken in automatic cars.

New Ontario residents can usually drive on a valid licence from home for a short time after moving here, often 60 days. Check the exact rule for you with the licensing office.

We'll explain how it usually works, but only the licensing office can decide, based on your documents. Our newcomers page lists the questions to ask them.

The licensing office will ask for an approved translation. They publish which translations they accept, so check before you pay for one.

Text or call at least 24 hours before. With less notice, the lesson costs half price.

Text us, even an hour before. We can turn it into a shorter lesson that stays in the lot, or move it. Once per student, a same-day move for nerves costs nothing.

If the roads are icy and you're just starting, we move the lesson at no cost. Later on, a snowy day in a quiet lot can be one of the most useful lessons you take.

From home, work or school anywhere in Kitchener and Waterloo. Cambridge and Breslau are $10 extra per lesson.

We use large lots that are empty at your lesson time, like an office-park lot in the evening or a school lot on a Saturday, close to where we pick you up.

Weekdays 8 am to 8 pm and Saturdays 9 am to 4 pm. Early Sunday highway lessons can be arranged.

English with every instructor, Spanish with Mariana and Arabic with Omar.

Ontario road tests are given in English or French. As test day gets closer, we practise the English words the examiner uses, while still explaining in your language.

Yes. A family member or friend can sit in the back for the first lesson if it helps you relax.
