Behind the Wheel
DMV Licensed
Nervous about the freeway? That is who this school is for.
Drive smart. Drive safe. Drive with confidence.
Driving jitters, road test nerves, freeway anxiety
Nerves are the normal part.
Merging onto a busy freeway or booking the road test is intimidating whether you are a teen after independence, an adult needing a refresher, or someone who has never driven at all.
The road test
Rehearse it until it is boring.
Four manoeuvres decide most California drive tests. Press one and watch the route taught in every lesson — 90 minutes at a time.
Press a manoeuvre
Parallel Park
Pull level with the car in front of the space and sit about a metre off it. Reverse on full lock until you are round 45 degrees, straighten, then opposite lock brings the tail in and the car comes out parallel. The examiner is marking your mirror and blind-spot checks at least as closely as the car.
- Pull alongside the car in front of the space.
- Reverse on full lock to 46°.
- Opposite lock swings the tail in.
- Straighten up and centre in the space.
Every instructor here has driven the examiner routes in San Bernardino County more times than they can count.

In their words
From “I can’t” to the freeway.
“My daughter spoke very highly of Moses after every lesson. She said he was extremely patient, calm, and encouraging while teaching her how to drive. He took the time to help build her confidence behind the wheel.”
Bianca Hernandez
“As someone who feels afraid of driving, this driving school was exactly what I needed. I took lessons to prepare, and used their car for my DMV appointment. I passed my test!”
April Michelle
Who teaches you
The same voice, every lesson.
Rosa
Co-owner
Retired from law enforcement, and the person families deal with when they book. Reviewers single her out for scheduling around a family’s week rather than the other way round.
Moises
Co-owner and instructor
Also retired from law enforcement. Described by student after student as patient, calm and encouraging — which is the entire product when the student arrived frightened.
The cars
A brake on the passenger side.
Well-maintained cars kept ready for the DMV exam, so a student who has no car of their own is never the reason a test gets postponed.
- Available for the DMV drive test
- Free pick-up and drop-off within six miles
- Modern, well-maintained vehicles
- Redlands and San Bernardino DMV at no travel fee
Where we teach
Across the Inland Empire.
