After you pass your written exam and have obtained your Maryland learner's permit, you need to log a substantial number of supervised hours behind the wheel. Learners under 25 must drive at least 60 hours. To become a good driver, you must learn to feel comfortable and confident. You make split-second decisions every minute on the road, which means not only you must pay close attention, but also you must know in advance what responses are available. That's why Friendly Driving Academy places such a strong emphasis on safe and defensive driving.

If you start to knot up just hearing the word "test", it will really fray your nerves. Given the high stakes of your Maryland Driver Skills Test, your performance could easily suffer. Fortunately, it doesn't have to. At Friendly Driving Academy, we will not only escort you to the test, but also will let you take it in our well-maintained, easy-to-drive car. So why not make the test day as easy as possible? You can relax while we take you to the site, and you'll know that the vehicle itself won't betray you. If you drive an old car at home, it may handle poorly because of its age, not your skill. So don't risk an unwelcome shimmy or squealing tire giving your examiner a false bad impression!
