Our goal is to equip our students with the best defensive driving
techniques possible. We hire instructors who have had personal
experience in observing the consequences of placing a drivers license in
the hands of an over-confident, under-experienced teenager. While we
are unable to control what the student does when he completes our
course, we do control the time in our program and parents can rest
assured we do not take lightly the task of using that time wisely!

During this year’s conference the South Carolina Driver and Traffic Safety Education Association (SCDTSEA) in partnership with the American Driver and Traffic Education Association (ADTSEA) awarded our own Lance Collins with the award for “Outstanding Dedication and Service Award”. This award is given “For faithful, outstanding, and dedicated service to SCDTSEA.”
This award recognized Lance as a leader as the owner of one of the largest and sought after driving schools in the upstate of South Carolina. This award also recognizes Lance as a leader in the state of South Carolina as a whole in having a leadership role in our state association for over ten years.
We are starting to post new pictures of our students on our students tab. These are students who have passed the test. We appreciate all our students and hope they go on to continue to be safe drivers.
Driving in icy conditions can be very dangerous especially for new drivers. Our own Lance Collins was interviewed by WSPA’s Collin Riviello on how to navigate this dangerous situation. Follow this link for the story and video interview. Remember the most important thing to do in any skidding situation is to look and steer where you want the vehicle to go.
Below are some photos from our Christmas Party at the end of 2023. Enjoy!
We are happy to welcome our new instructor Ken Alexander. He comes to us from another school and was already certified to do Behind the Wheel, Classroom, and Testing. He has experience as a professional driver (CDL) and several positions working with youth (Greenville County Schools and Southern Wesleyan University) and is already a great asset to our company.
Welcome to the team Ken!
