"Bernie was fun to drive with and I learned a lot, I told all my friends to go to Dartmouth Driving School."

– Jesse

Dartmouth Driving School was a great place to learn the foundations of driver training and safety. The classes were thorough and informative, and the in-car lessons were especially helpful. By the end of my lessons I felt completely comfortable behind the wheel. I would recommend Dartmouth Driving School to anyone no matter what age or skill level. It was definitely money well-spent."
