Driving School - Completed the In Class Lessons!

Continuing from my series on Driving Licenses in Ontario, you need to enroll into a driving school to help you pass your road test. You can enrol into a Driving School after passing the knowledge test. However, you can also choose to complete the In Class sessions before attempting your knowledge test. There are different driving schools and therefore you need to shop for the best one that gives you value for your dollar. All schools have a manadate to teach the same curriculum.

The Driving School has two parts to it - In Class lessons and In Car lessons. In Class lessons run for 25 hours and these can be broken down into four eight hour weekend sessions or eight four hour weekday sessions. During the summer holidays and winter breaks, they do have classes that run for four days in a row. The In Class lessons help you tremendously as they impart the vital theory knowledge to what you put in practice while in the car.

It is extremely important to pay attention to these lessons as they give you some really valuable tips and simplify some very complicated rules to driving in Canada. While most people view these lessons as a waste of time, I personally drew a lot of knowledge from the sessions. I feel a lot more confident in the car now and the explanation of the concepts helped me get better on the road. The most important part of these lessons is that they equip you with the right knowledge to deal with difficult situations. Sadly, most young Canadian drivers don't take these classes seriously and they can pose a great risk to each and every one of us on the road.

I will soon finish my In Car lessons as well and I hope to pass my G1 Exit on the first attempt. Enrolling into a Driving School saves you time in acquiring a full G Class licenese as it cuts off about four months of the wait to the G1 exit test and it also gives you a discount on your car insurance till the age of 65. Therefore, the certificate that the Ministry of Transportation in Ontario provides you after completing the required 25 hours In Class and the ten hour In Car lessons will help you save money for several years to come.
