Our Mission
17-Mile Driving School has earned a reputation for responsible and caring driving instruction. With the help of our professional and friendly local driving instructors, you’ll enjoy a relaxed, positive and encouraging environment whether it’s your first time behind the wheel or you need a brush up before your drive test.
Today my daughter passed her driving test with flying colors due to Kristen's thorough instruction and innovative teaching techniques. I rode along during a driving lesson and observed Kristen's calm interaction, her gift for clear explanations, and her attention to detail. I appreciated her emphasis on defensive driving tactics and I reinforced this in my own instructional driving with my daughter. I plan on enrolling my younger child in Kristen's driver's education course. As a parent, I can say that I feel my daughter has a full grasp of the responsibility that comes with driving a motor vehicle, thanks to 17-Mile Driving School.

Kristen, I want to thank you for your patience with me as the first time mom of a new driver. You were so great to always be there to listen to my concerns and give me feed back on how Tatiana was doing. She is a knowledgeable and safe new driver.

Kristen is a rare combination of driving instructor. She is knowledgeable, confident and an effective communicator. My daughter Emily learned a great deal and has become an excellent driver! Driving with a teen can be a white knuckle experience as a parent. However, with Kristen's instruction my daughter had a very good sense of the road and what to watch out for. As a result I felt very much at ease being the parent passenger!
Thank you Kristen for giving Emily the skills she needs to start her driving experience. As a parent you are always nervous about your child on the road. However, I do feel you laid a great foundation for Emily to begin and grow on!
I wish you much success!
