About Auto Safety Driving School
Auto Safety Driving School describes itself as a licensed Commercial Driving School with the State of Florida that has been teaching drivers since 1978. The home page lists "45+ Years Experience," "10,000+ Students Trained," and a "98% First-Time Pass Rate," while the FAQ states "We maintain a 90%+ pass rate" on the driving test. Those figures are the school's own published numbers.
On instructors, the FAQ says all instructors must pass the Florida Driver Performance Analysis System (DPAS) and complete the Florida Driving Instructor Training Certification (DITC). Instructors undergo background checks through the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE), are fingerprinted for national clearance, and must maintain clean driving records. Experience varies by instructor; the site says some have over 30 years with the DMV, and others have been pilots or held CDLs. All instructors receive continuing training including defensive driving and working with anxious students. The About Us page profiles instructor Yavette, described as having nearly 30 years in commercial driving, public transit and passenger services, holding a Florida CDL Class B with Passenger Endorsement, and being DOT-Certified and State-Certified as a Driver Instructor Trainer.

The training fleet is described as Toyota Corollas equipped with dual brakes, secondary rear-view mirrors, GPS tracking and dashcams. Vehicles are owned and maintained by licensed mechanics, with routine inspections and a backup vehicle so lessons are not interrupted. The site says instructors, vehicles and the school are recertified annually, and that maintenance partners include Express Oil in Oldsmar and Tampa, Stage 4 in Largo, and Woodies Car Wash.
The site references alignment with the American Driver and Traffic Safety Education Association (ADTSEA) and says all vehicles and instructors are insured and background-checked. Any specific licence or certification number is not published; verify credentials with the FLHSMV. For questions, call (813) 875-4809.

After each session the student receives a written evaluation, and the school also sends periodic progress reports, including videos, to parents.
Lessons cover highway driving, parallel parking, night driving, defensive driving, emergency response, car controls, traffic laws, and driving test preparation. Instruction is described as taking place on real Tampa roads, including the I-275 merge near Westshore, Dale Mabry traffic, Fowler turn lanes near USF, the Selmon Expressway express lanes, the Bearss Avenue merge onto I-275, and roundabouts across the county. Students are taken out in a variety of conditions including rain, traffic, bridges, and expressways, unless conditions are unsafe.
Adult lessons are offered as private, one-on-one instruction for people who never learned to drive, moved from another country, held a licence years ago, or want to rebuild confidence after an accident. Behind-the-wheel training follows a progression: early sessions cover basic car control in quieter areas such as Northdale or Citrus Park, middle sessions move into real traffic, and later sessions cover highway on-ramps, heavy traffic, parallel parking, and reversing into a space.
For prices, cost, or a quote on any of these services, contact the school by phone at (813) 875-4809 or through the contact form on the website. Whether any lesson or course satisfies a specific Florida licensing, DMV or court requirement should be confirmed with the FLHSMV or the court.

The school can confirm enrollment, schedule and availability.
Teen driving lessons, accommodations and road test concierge
Teen lessons are one of the main services Auto Safety Driving School offers in Tampa. Lessons run 90 minutes and build on each session. The school picks students up across Hillsborough and Pinellas County, including Carrollwood, South Tampa, Brandon, Temple Terrace, Town 'n' Country, Clearwater, St. Petersburg, Apollo Beach, New Tampa, Westchase, Lutz and Wesley Chapel.
Teen lessons cover the basics of steering, braking, parking and lane changes, plus local driving situations such as merging onto I-275 near downtown, the intersection at Bruce B. Downs and Flatwoods, the Westchase and Citrus Park areas during school pickup hours, and sudden Florida rain that cuts visibility. The site says the school works with students from Carrollwood Day School, Jesuit, Tampa Prep, Berkeley Prep, Plant, Blake, and other area high schools, and that students come before getting a learner's permit, during practice hours, or shortly before the road test. Both the student and the parents receive a detailed evaluation after every session.

The school also describes a DMV concierge service: helping families schedule the road test at the Hillsborough County Tax Collector's office, checking that the student has the right documents ready, and explaining what to expect on test day. Instructors say they prepare students for the specific test location, noting that routes near the Tampa, Brandon and Plant City offices differ. The FAQ states that additional fees apply to the concierge service, so ask for the cost when you book.
Special-needs accommodations are offered for students with ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, anxiety, processing delays, or physical limitations. The school says it talks to parents before the first lesson and adjusts communication style, pacing and feedback, and can refer families needing adaptive equipment to the Florida Division of Vocational Rehabilitation and other Tampa-area programs.
To book teen lessons or ask about pricing, call (813) 875-4809 or use the contact form. Whether a lesson satisfies a Florida graduated licensing or court requirement must be confirmed with the FLHSMV or the court.
