Why Choose Drivewise?

home-in-carDriveWise is the perfect option for new drivers in today’s world. DriveWise is the only company in Canada to offer the SafeStart driving program, a program which is changing the way beginners are learning to drive. We’re proud to offer our students many different teaching tools and techniques as they learn to drive and prepare for their drive tests.

Our state-of-the-art virtual reality simulator lets our students build their confidence and familiarize themselves with the rules of the road in a safe environment. They’ll be able to safely make mistakes and learn how to deal with tough driving situations before driving a real car.

We know that interactive lectures are far more effective than a traditional classroom setting which is why we use this approach in all of our DriveWise driving courses. Our instructors use a Classroom Performance System which allows them to monitor student progress in real-time and to even mentor them along the way. Students use audience response systems to answer quiz questions and test their own learning in a way that is fun and informative.

One of the most important components about learning how to drive are the one-on-one in car sessions. These sessions allow our instructors to give students unique and individualized instruction and attention; and they will never be placed in a car with other students.

SafeStart is an MTO-approved BDE course provider which means we are an approved beginner driver education course in the provinces of Ontario, New Brunswick, Alberta and British Columbia. We’re also recognized by the insurance industry.

What Our Students Say

Hi, I would like to let you know that I just passed my highway test, April 13. In order to give it another try to the related test, I hired Shirley, which is one of your professional instructors. And I am very delighted with the service/input she provided me. Everything she said and did for me was of exceptional help.

I could understand a lot and do a way better driving than ever. Again I would like to commend the high quality instructors you have within your staff, she is completely amazing as a driving instructor and I would like to thank her and thank the Drive Wise driving school for the effort made in providing a good customer service experience. Keep up the good job.

Mitchell S. Tilbury

Before this class I never really cared about wearing a seatbelt. After watching those videos and seeing how hurt the families were, I couldn’t do that to my family. Thank you for opening my eyes to the harm I could have caused. This class has opened my eyes to how attentative you have to be while driving. There are all sorts of things going on around you. You have to be prepared for anything at anytime. Thank you for this opportunity to improve. P.S. The simulator rocked

Dan helped me take on the responsibility of driving defensively and made me realize driving is something you don’t play around with! He also makes everything sound interesting and is a great teacher. He is also a great listener and helped me understand the rules of the road. Thank you Dan.

Jackie Patterson, Erieau

In 2007 I was in a collision with a truck. I was a passenger in the front seat of a cab. To this day I get scared of vehicles not stopping when required, My instructor made his class easy to understand and remember. I left wanting to be a driver and confident that I can be a 6 star success.

Julie Ann Thorpe, Chatham

I liked the emergency maneuverers on the simulator and learning how to deal with extreme situations.

Brandon C. Tilbury

DriveWise is the best school in Chatham, The instructors are also the best. I loved learning on the simulator and it showed when I started in my dad’s car. I learned proper steering and checking my blind spots and a lot of other stuff. My dad could not believe how much I knew how to do and how good I was when he took me driving the first time. He was pretty happy and so was !

Thanks DriveWise.

Emily, Wallaceburg

It was a real eye opener watching all the videos about accidents and such and made me realize how serious driving really is.

Something I enjoyed the most was learning about the simulator and driving it. It was a pleasant experience.
