Benson's Driving School is dedicated to preparing the new driver to become a responsible, safe member of the driving community. We take pride in our ability to help unsure and anxious learners become confident new drivers. Benson is aware of the many different styles of learning techniques, and our attention has been very successful. The owner, Jon Benson, also has many years of experience interacting with young adults as a youth and high school sports coach. Benson's is not just another driving school; we take pride in our student's success and strive to ensure that all questions are answered, and all driving maneuvers are learned, instilling a sense of the new driver's responsibilities.
Our curriculum for the new driver is based on five and six-week accelerated programs, and upon successful completion, the student will be eligible to test for his or her New Hampshire driver's license with the Department of Motor Vehicles. NH law requires that all students are 15 years and nine months old by the first day of class.
