Our Family has helped license thousands of Students over the years. Many of our students Ace the driving test and very few fail. We go out of our way to make sure our students get the knowledge they need to be safe drivers forever. We offer new and fun to drive cars with the most up to date safety features, including passenger controls, which have helped us remain wreck free since we opened our doors.
Hello, My name is Dan Conklin, Owner, Operator and Instructor at Sweet Driving School. I am from Lake County and My family has been in the Driving School Business for over 17 years. Running my own school and helping teens be safe on the road has always been a priority of mine. My Sister is the motivation behind all that I do.
If you are under 17 and a half, then you must complete Drivers Education and receive a Certificate of Completion in the mail prior to the test. You will also need to bring your Social Security Card, Proof of Residency and OFFICIAL Birth Certificate. Some DMVs will require an appointment for a Written Permit Test, which is now done on a computer.
You should signal at least 100 feat before your turn and remember to slow down early to allow more time to complete the SMOG check. You should check your mirror and shoulder as soon as you signal and then get into the appropriate lane for your turn or for your approach to the curb. You must also SMOG prior to pulling away from the curb.
2. How Old do you have to be to Start Drivers ED? It's Recommended to start at 15 so that you have your Completion Certificate in time to take your permit test at 15.5. 7. When Should I Set up an appointment for my Permit Test? at least a month before you plan on taking it. I recommend Signing up with us for the In-Car portion at the same time.

Such a great experience for my daughter. Very responsive, I received a return call the same day. The scheduling was easy, and both Kristina and Linda were great instructors. Linda even texted my daughter to see how she did on her driving test, very thoughtful! Highly recommend.

Dan was an excellent teacher for our teen! He was professional and fun, has sweet vehicles to drive, communicated well, and our teen passed her behind-the-wheel test the first time she took it. We highly recommend Dan and will send our son to him next!
