About Us

Dave’s Driving School 801.602.6065

“You deserve the best!”  This isn’t just our job – it’s our commitment to developing and placing safe and defensive drivers on the road. We love what we do!

You can receive your license quickly without compromising quality. 

Drive a maximum of 2 hours per day. You need 6 total driving hours (you behind the wheel). Don’t be fooled by others who “stop at their house” or leave you unattended in the car. 

We are Utah State Certified and Drivers License Division (DLD) approved.

Pick-up and drop-off available, depending on location.

The price for the required 6 hours of road driving is *$360. 

The home-study packet is *$100.

Fast-tracking is available for *$100 and enables you to complete your driving in 14 days (from first drive). Most students who do not enroll in the fast track finish this course in about one month.

If you simply need the Road Exam, it is $60. Same day testing is $70. We cannot test our own students but are happy to refer you to others. We prefer Venmo.

Venmo (Dave or Lisa McConnell @davesdriversed) or cash. NSF will have a $50 fee.  No credit cards. If you use Venmo and use the purchase protection option that charges us a fee, you will be responsible for the fee. The amount is not negotiable.

“Range driving” (parking lot driving) isn’t required because we drive you twice as long on the road as the High School programs. We take you on the freeway and give you a practice road test as part of my service.

Our schedules are flexible. We will work the driving hours around your schedule, however, we do not drive on Sunday. We start as early as 5:30 a.m. and end as late as 8 p.m. 

The advantage of the home-study packet is that it can be completed quickly, and many of our students work on it while a friend is driving. Questions can be answered to ensure understanding. Our instructors are passionate about defensive driving and your safety. We want you to be knowledgeable and confident behind the wheel. 

Private driving lessons for individuals who are not in high school are $100 per hour.  If you are about to take a road exam, we offer a review examination. Your chances of passing the first time increase significantly after a review examination. 

Yes, we have patience, a brake on the instructor’s side of the car, and lots of insurance!

Thanks for considering Dave’s Drivers Ed for your driver’s education needs. We look forward to hearing from you soon and helping you become a better, safer, and defensive driver.

As of January 1, 2016, all new drivers will need to go to the website: DLD.utah.gov, click on Traffic Safety and Trends to take a final online quiz of 40 questions and receive a perfect score to get your license.  This quiz is open book, and you can take it as many times as necessary.  They will give you the correct answers if you miss any.
