Ottawa SAFE DRIVERS
Join Ottawa Safe Drivers Driving School, a Ministry-Approved BDE course provider in Ottawa. Benefit from expert driving instruction and professional training, and pass your road test with the right skills and knowledge.
New drivers applying for their first car or motorcycle license in Ontario must go through the graduated licensing system. To apply, you must be at least 16 years old, pass a vision test, and demonstrate your knowledge of road rules and traffic signs by passing a written test. Once these requirements are fulfilled, you will enter Level One and receive a Class G1 license. Level One lasts for 12 months, but by successfully completing an approved Beginner Driver Education (BDE) course, you can shorten this period to eight months. It’s advisable to start your training as soon as you become a Level One driver to gain valuable driving experience. To become fully licensed, you must pass two road tests. The first test promotes you to Level Two (Class G2), and the second grants you full Class G driving privileges. This graduated system ensures that new drivers acquire experience and develop their skills progressively, requiring at least 20 months to complete both licensing stages.
Fully certified to provide trusted and reliable driving education.
Learn from highly qualified professionals dedicated to building your safety, confidence, and skills on the road.
Proudly serving the Ottawa community with a strong commitment to promoting safe driving habits.

Was perfect passed on my first try Krichele Tagadiad2025-05-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a marvelous experience with Ottawa Safe Drivers Driving School and with Ruaa as my instructor. Developing my driving skills with her was very rewarding, as she was knowledgeable and patient with me. Her explanations and tips on road safety and the rules were clear and easy to understand. When I was behind the wheel, she focused on building my confidence and understanding rather than moving from one lesson to the next. She also reassured me in a calm manner whenever I started to feel nervous or made a mistake. Rest assured, thanks to Ruaa's guidance, I feel confident and comfortable on the road. When it comes to seeking an instructor who genuinely cares about her students becoming excellent drivers, Ruaa is someone I would highly recommend.Google rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 332 reviewsVerified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
