Top Notch driving school instructors are trained to deal with all types of drivers ranging from brand new too nervous to licensed drivers who need to refresh their driving skills. All students begin in-car training with different levels of experience. Therefore, our driving instructors will evaluate your abilities and learning speed and provide you with an estimate of how much time it may take for you to become a safe driver.
We break our lessons down into two phases:

Phase 2 Defensive Driving
It is our goal to produce safe drivers, so we teach the Smith System of Defensive Driving. It has been said that the “Smith System” is the ultimate defensive driving system.
