New York City Metro Hub

New York City presents the ultimate urban driving challenge with dense traffic, aggressive taxi cabs, delivery trucks, cyclists, and pedestrians all competing for limited road space. Many NYC residents actually avoid driving, but those who do need exceptional skills. The five boroughs each have distinct driving characteristics.

NYC driving schools specialize in urban survival skills: tight maneuvering, parallel parking in impossible spaces, and defensive driving against aggressive professionals. Many students are adults who never learned to drive, now needing the skill for work or family reasons. Schools often provide vehicles, as many NYC residents don't own cars.

The NY DMV has multiple locations throughout the boroughs, with different test characteristics. Some students travel to suburban locations for potentially easier test routes.
