At SunCoast Traffic School we care about your safety and provide instruction in the latest defensive driving techniques. Our defensive driving lessons are personalized to address the needs of each student to prepare them for getting on the road safely and not simply operating a vehicle.
If you’re considering driving lessons, we think it’s important to compare instructor credentials and experience. While pricing is often a primary consideration, and we consider ourselves very competitive, we’re also believers in the theory that we usually get what we pay for. Check out our Reviews page and see what other students are saying about their experience with us. You may also review our qualifications as well by clicking “HERE”.
We understand that driving lesson rates are an important consideration in making a school choice. Feedback we’ve received from clients who took lessons with other schools, along with a belief that we usually get what we pay for, indicates that selecting a school based solely on rates often does not achieve the desired results.

- Use of our student vehicle for the road test may be available at our $120 rate to students who have received lessons from us, and who the instructor believes have demonstrated necessary defensive driving skills to pass the exam. We do not rent our vehicles out to non-students for taking the driving test.
Two important considerations when choosing a school are instructor qualifications and lesson length.
Instructor Qualifications – While all schools are required to have state licensed instructors, some apparently do not. Verify their credentials and ask what additional training their instructors have in proven defensive driving practices.
Lesson Length – Our experience from conducting thousands of hours of training has taught us that lessons short in duration (less than 1.5 hours in length) do not allow for an optimal learning experience for the student and can result in a longer learning curve. Time to reinforce the driving skills taught through guided practical exercise improves lesson retention and usually reduces the learning curve.
We take a personal interest in the safety of each student we work with by placing a heavy focus on defensive driving practices to avoid collision traps and the mistakes of other drivers. Please give us a call to discuss how we can help you, or a family member survive Florida’s dangerous roadways.
Please review the following important document which must be submitted before an instructor can pick up a student for their first lesson, and give us a call with any questions you may have.
