Dave’s Driving School is a Utah-based, state-certified driving education provider committed to shaping safe, defensive, and responsible drivers. Their programs are approved by Utah’s Driver License Division (DLD), ensuring that instruction meets state requirements and helps students confidently pass both the written and road exams.
They offer a 6-hour required driving component for currently enrolled high school students, with pricing at approximately $380, which gives learners substantial time on the road under supervision. For those who would benefit from more individualized support, private lessons are available at about $100/hour — useful for students who may feel anxious or want more focused guidance. To fulfill classroom or online instruction requirements, Dave’s provides a home-study packet that replaces those modules. The packet is distributed during the initial drive session and generally completed in just a few days. A fast-track option allows students to finish the required coursework in about 14 days after signing up, for a modest extra fee.
They also provide road testing services for those ready to take the exam: scheduled in advance at $65, or same-day road tests at $70. The scheduling is offered Monday through Saturday; no testing is done on Sundays. The school takes pride in giving students double the driving time compared to many high school programs, focusing on real-road experience rather than just parking lot or range work.
Throughout all their offerings, Dave’s Driving School emphasizes safety, patience, and personalized instruction. Instructors are described as caring and flexible, aiming not just to help students pass tests, but to become thoughtful, confident drivers ready for real driving situations.
