Program DescriptionOur 8-hour private driving program is the ideal foundation for any new driver. Across four personalized, 2-hour lessons with a state-certified Next Street instructor, you’ll gain the skills, confidence, and experience needed to drive safely and independently. With consistent practice between lessons, this package gives students the time and structure to develop and master every essential driving skill.

What You’ll Learn

Across the four driving lessons, students will cover:
  • Basic driving skills: accelerating, braking, steering
  • Traffic controls, signs, and right of way
  • Speed and space management
  • Parking Maneuvers 101: 3-point turns, pull-in parking
  • Parking Maneuvers 201: back-in parking, parallel parking, corrections
  • Multi-lane driving and intersection management
  • Highway training: entering, merging, lane discipline, safe exits
  • Defensive driving mindset and situational awareness
  • Final lesson: comprehensive review and skill reinforcement
Lesson 1 will focus on parking lot driving and quiet backroads to help you get the hang of the basics. Lesson 2 will advance to main roads, helping you build confidence with traffic, lane changes, and intersections. Lesson 3 introduces highway driving, including merging, lane choice, and safe exiting. Lesson 4 provides a comprehensive review, skill refinement, and test-readiness preparation. Lessons progress at the student’s pace—faster if skills come quickly, and slower if more time is needed to ensure safety and confidence.

Before You Book

Before booking your driving lessons, you’ll need:
  • A valid learner’s permit, driver’s license, or international license
  • Your physical permit—no pictures or copies
  • Glasses or contacts if your permit has a B restriction
Students with permits may take lessons before, during, or after their classroom course.

Know Before You Go

  • Lessons take place in The Next Street’s dual-controlled vehicles. We don’t conduct lessons in personal cars.

Wait times are based on your permit issue date, not when you begin class.

A final exam must be completed and passed after all classroom sessions have been attended. Once this exam has been passed and all driving lessons and observation time have been completed, The Next Street will electronically submit your results to the Massachusetts RMV for processing. The RMV will then issue your Driver Education Certificate, which is required before scheduling a Road Test for students under 18. We recommend completing all components at least 5 days before your planned test date to allow for RMV processing time. Complete all classroom sessions, driving lessons, and observation time at least 5 days before your scheduled test date to ensure eligibility.
