Driving Lessons | Danbury, CT

Connecticut requires new teen drivers (16-17 years old) to complete 40 hours of driving practice with a trainer (anyone with a US driver’s license for at least 4 years and no suspensions). 

Driving lessons with The Next Street count towards these required driving practice hours. Gain behind-the-wheel experience merging on I-84 and driving through downtown Danbury with our professional instructors.

Private Driving Lessons

The Next Street driving lessons are tailored to each individual driver, cultivating an atmosphere of patience, empathy, and zero judgment. 

Driving lessons are 2-hour appointments in which students are in the driver’s seat, with a highly trained instructor beside them. All lessons are done in our dual-controlled cars, and equipped with GPS monitoring to keep you safe.

This unique driving session mimics Connecticut’s driver’s license road test. In this 2-hour lesson, our focus will be on preparing you to pass your license test.

Feedback and notes will be given at the end of the mock test, followed by working on areas that need improvement or require extra practice.

    While our instructor was great, the fact that we signed up and paid for testing in the vehicle we trained in, and then on the day of the test were told to take a completely different vehicle is just not ok. My daughter had no idea how to navigate the inside of that new vehicle, adjust seats, side mirrors, etc. Driving tests are stressful enough without having to deal with this. NOT OK.
