One Stop
Each student registration, vision and written test is conducted at our office. Unlike other driving schools, we do not ask any of our students to accompany us to the NJMVC as part of any registration process.
One Student
To make the overall learning experience less stressful, all lessons are private one-on-one instruction from start to finish. Your lesson starts and ends with you only.
One Way
Each instructor at Bridgewater Driving School uses techniques and terminology developed by Owner/Senior Instructor Tom Gallagher.
WhoCanRegister
Students can register with us at any age. 15yr old applicants can pre-register, which will secure all lessons in advance of their 16th birthday. For students prepping for their NJ Written Exam, our owner Tom Gallagher now hosts a 2 hr online class which focuses on the materials covered on the State Written test and can be taken from the comfort of a home computer.
