At Martel's Driving Academy, we equip teens with the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need to pass their road test and drive safely for life.

  • Teen (Under 18) Drivers Ed Course

    Our comprehensive program meets all New Hampshire Department of Safety requirements and combines expert instruction with real-world driving experience.

    30 Hours of Classroom Instruction

    Interactive, engaging lessons using the AAA "How to Drive" (15th Edition) curriculum. Students learn:

    • New Hampshire traffic laws
    • Defensive driving strategies
    • Hazard recognition and avoidance
    • Decision-making in real-world driving scenarios

    10 Hours of Behind-the-Wheel Training

    Students receive personalized driving instruction with a certified instructor.  Each session focuses on:

    • Safe vehicle operation
    • Situational awareness
    • Lane control and intersection safety
    • Driving in various traffic and road conditions

    6 Hours of In-Car Observation

    Students learn by watching peers during driving sessions. Observation reinforces classroom lessons and helps students recognize common mistakes and smart driving habits in real time.

  • Teen (Under 18) 1-Hour Private Driving Lesson

    In New Hampshire, drivers under 18 must complete 40 hours of supervised driving, including 10 hours at night, before taking their road test.

    All private driving time counts toward the state's 40-hour requirement.

    Safe & Structured Environment: Lessons are conducted in a fully insured, dual-control training vehicle for maximum safety and peace of mind.

    Flexible Scheduling: Weekday, evening, and weekend options available, with pickup and drop-off in select areas.

    A Partnership with Parents

    Think of us as an extension of your supervision. We provide calm, professional guidance while helping reduce stress at home and ensuring your teen develops safe, confident driving habits.
