S

Rated 5.0 I have always been afraid of car driving. So I was looking for one good instructor who could teach me to drive a car and help me to build my confidence. Then I came across `A Plus Driving School`. I took lessons from both Inder and Mohan. Inder is an excellent teacher with infinite patience. She helped me to build my confidence. The result is I got my driver's license on the first attempt. Mohan is a master instructor who knows every detail of driving. His lesson helped me to overcome the parking problem. Thanks `A Plus Driving School`. You did an excellent job! If you are looking for a driving lesson, go with Inder or Mohan without hesitation.

Rated 5.0 Mohan is a very good teacher. I went from knowing little to being an excellent driver in a couple of lessons. My brother and I passed the driving test on our first tries after learning with him. Thank you Mohan!

Frequently Asked Questions - A Plus Driving School

    • 1. How many driving lessons do I need before the Santa Clara DMV road test?

      It varies. A typical teen with some parental practice: 4-6 lessons. A nervous adult beginner: 10-15 lessons. An international driver converting a license: 3-5 lessons (focused on differences). We do not sell "packages" that guarantee readiness after a fixed number. We will tell you honestly when you are ready. It is better to take one extra lesson than to fail and wait 6-8 weeks for a new DMV appointment.

    • 2. Do you pick me up from my home or school in Santa Clara?

      Yes. Free pick-up and drop-off within 10 miles of Santa Clara. This includes: most of Santa Clara, San Jose (west of 101), Sunnyvale, Cupertino, Mountain View, and Campbell. We pick you up from your driveway, your high school (Santa Clara High, Wilcox, Buchser), your office, or the Santa Clara Caltrain station.

    • 3. What is the difference between the 6-hour certification and regular lessons?

      California law requires teens to complete 6 hours of professional behind-the-wheel training as part of the driver education program. This is the legal minimum. Most teens need more than 6 hours to become truly safe drivers. We offer a "6-hour certification package" for the legal requirement, but we strongly recommend additional "practice hours" beyond that. The 6 hours is the floor, not the ceiling.

    • 4. I am an international driver from India. Do I have to start from zero?

      No. You already have vehicle control skills. Your challenges are specific to California: (1) Right on red (legal after complete stop). (2) Four-way stops (first to arrive goes first). (3) School buses (stop for flashing red lights even on opposite side unless there is a median). (4) Highway merging (match speed, find gaps). (5) Lane discipline (slower traffic keep right). We offer a specific international driver conversion package (typically 4-6 hours) focused only on the differences.

    • 5. What happens if I freeze or panic during a lesson?

      We pull over immediately. We turn off the car. We talk it through. Our instructors are trained in anxiety de-escalation. You will never be yelled at for being scared. We ask what triggered the panic (a large truck? a fast merge? a tailgater?) and then work systematically to desensitize you to that trigger. We have a near-100% success rate with nervous drivers. It just takes time.

    • 6. Do you use a special car for the road test? Can I use my own car?

      You can use your own car, but we strongly recommend using ours. Our cars have dual brakes (examiners love this), perfect blind-spot visibility, are easy to parallel park (Toyota Corolla), and have no mechanical issues (check engine light = automatic fail). You can rent one of our cars for the road test for a flat fee (includes instructor driving you to the DMV, waiting, and the car for the test). This is very popular.

    • 7. What is the "narrated drive" technique?

      You say out loud every safety action you take. Example: "Checking my left mirror. Checking my right mirror. Looking over my shoulder for the blind spot. Signaling. Slowing down for the stop sign. Coming to a complete stop. Wheels stopped. Counting one-one-thousand, two-one-thousand. No cross traffic. Proceeding." The examiner cannot read your mind. If you narrate, they KNOW you saw the stop sign and checked the mirror. This single technique prevents most "I checked but they said I didn't" failures.

    • 8. Can I take the defensive driving course online?

      Yes. Our state-approved defensive driving course is available 100% online (6 hours, self-paced, open-book quiz). You receive your certificate by email within 48 hours. You submit to the court (for ticket dismissal) and to your insurance company (for the discount). The online option is cheaper and more convenient. We only require in-person for behind-the-wheel training.

    • 9. My teenager is very anxious about driving. Should I wait until they are 18?

      No. Delaying usually makes anxiety worse because the fear has more time to solidify. The best time to address driving anxiety is when they have their learner's permit (age 15.5). Our instructors specialize in anxious teens. We start in empty parking lots (Santa Clara DMV lot on weekends). We do not go on public roads until the student says they are ready. Waiting until 18 just means they will be an anxious 18-year-old who missed two years of practice.

    • 10. What is the pass rate for students who take your mock exam?

      Students who complete our mock exam program (including at least 2 full mock exams with detailed feedback) have a first-time pass rate of over 90% at the Santa Clara DMV. The statewide average first-time pass rate is around 65%. The mock exam makes that much of a difference.

Welcome to A Plus Driving School: Santa Clara's Top-Rated Path to Your Driver's License
