mportant
points to consider when making a decision for your student driver.
- We do not
teach more than one student at a time. If you are scheduled for a
two-hour lesson, you are the only student in that car for the two full
hours.
- We do not
use your student’s lesson as a means to run to our next lesson. If you
have a two-hour lesson, the last half hour of that lesson does not
include you driving to the next student’s house to pick them up for their
lesson. Your two-hour lesson time is devoted to you and only you.
- We never
take students on the highway until their final lesson. Driving in
advanced conditions and on advanced roadways is something that is worked
up to when the student is comfortable to do so.
- We are flexible
in scheduling. We provide lessons seven days a week and do our best to
accommodate each students schedule involving sports, after school
activities, etc.
- The one thing we
ask you to contribute towards a safe driving experience is your
feedback. If you ever feel tired, nervous, or are just very busy and
unable to focus well due to school and other activities. (i.e. exams,
sports practice) please let us know. There are things that can affect
your driving before you even step foot in a car, and realizing this is
one of the first things we try to teach here at Bridgewater Driving
School.
- And lastly,
Relax!!! There are plenty of reasons to be nervous about learning to
drive for the first time (especially if you are the student's parent!),
we pride ourselves in the ability to communicate at a comfortable level
with our students to provide a safe and fun learning experience.

Additional Services
Road Test:
This package covers it all. Our students are picked up on the day of
their test typically 1 1/2 hours prior to their actual Road Test time,
from either home or school. The instructor provides a 1-hour review
lesson to work on Parallel Parking, K-Turning, Backing in a straight
line and other critical aspects of the test. This time is also used
to assess the students current skill level. Instructors typically see
things in the students driving that a parent/guardian may overlook. We
can make the necessary adjustments and keep the student focused.
Bridgewater Driving School prides itself in its ability to see their
students through this process.
Once at the actual Road Test Location,
the instructor will step aside once the MVC Examiner approaches the
vehicle and wait for the student while they are on their actual Road
Test. Upon successful completion of the Road Test, the instructor will
accompany the student to the NJ MVC office for license processing and
then return the student to their home or school.
NOTE: When a student arrives at the
NJMVC Road Test, the MVC Examiner expects that the individual taking the
Road Test is ready to demonstrate the necessary driving skills required
to obtain their license.
One important consideration regarding
the "Review" is that this is the day of the Road Test. We do not
consider this valuable "Review" lesson as "teaching" time. If
within the first few minutes of the review, it becomes apparent to our
instructor the student is not sufficiently prepared to attempt the Road
Test, the instructor will contact the Bridgewater Driving School office
and we will then contact the parent/guardian.
***Because of the
popularity of this service, advanced notice of 5 -6 weeks before the
actual Road Test date should be considered to assure availability of an
instructor for you test date.

Skills Assessment:
This lesson time can be used for anyone currently possessing a New Jersey
Driver's License or Learner's Permit. Our instructors are here to work
on anything you feel you may need help with. It can also be used as an
evaluation to assess the strength's and weaknesses in your driving and
conference with you to determine if you might need more instruction. A
two (2) hour minimum is required. Skills assessment should not be
considered if you simply want to practice parallel parking. Our Road
Test service can help with the final brush up on parallel parking on your
test day.

DMV Mandatory Visitations:
From time to time, situations arise when NJMVC will require a
sixteen (16) year old student and parent/guardian to physically visit a
Local MVC Agency or MVC Regional Center. If the student is
sixteen (16) years of age, a driving school will have to be present with
the student during this visit. Bridgewater Driving School can accompany
you to the DMV's Agency or arrange to meet you to assist in this process
Reasons that this service may be
necessary:
1. Information in the NJMVC
records system reflects information that conflicts with the applicants
and they must be at an Agency for in-person verification of
identification.
2. Students that need to visit an
agency due to foreign documentation that requires a one-on-one
interview with an MVC supervisor, an example of this would be a
student that is here under an H-1 Visa.
Although this is not all that common,
Bridgewater Driving School is prepared to assist in this process.
