Phil's Driving School has been serving the greater New Haven area since 1948. We are committed to road safety, and strive to ensure that our graduates learn to be courteous and prepared while operating motor vehicles. We are dedicated to the education of safety conscious and courteous drivers in Connecticut.

With experience and patience, we prepare our student drivers for the Connecticut Permit Knowledge Exam and Behind the Wheel Road Skills Test. Our extensive training programs familiarize first-time drivers with typical road traffic situations, and provide them with rigorous safety instructions to prepare them for a possible emergency.
