Get expert driving instruction from Michael Mercier — a certified professional instructor, retired police officer, and former DMV examiner.

At Road Rookie Driving Academy, we offer a comprehensive, New Hampshire-approved driver’s education program designed to instill safe driving habits, confidence, and responsibility in every student. Whether you’re a teen learning to drive for the first time or an adult seeking a refresher, our program delivers real results.

Why Driving Lessons Matter

Driving is one of the most important life skills — and one of the most dangerous when not done properly. Professional instruction goes beyond what a parent or guardian can teach. With formal training, students gain:

  • A solid understanding of traffic laws and defensive driving techniques
  • Real-world experience under the guidance of a seasoned instructor
  • Increased confidence behind the wheel
  • Lower risk of accidents and traffic violations
  • Potential insurance discounts with proof of completed driver’s ed

Benefits for Teen Drivers

Teens are statistically more likely to be involved in accidents, especially during their first year of driving. Our program is designed specifically to reduce that risk. Teen drivers who complete formal training are:

  • 75% less likely to receive a traffic ticket
  • 24% less likely to be involved in a fatal or injury-related crash
  • More confident and composed in real-world driving scenarios
  • Better prepared for the NH road test and long-term driving success

Program Overview

Our complete driver’s education course includes:

  • 📚 30 hours of classroom instruction
  • 🚗 10 hours of in-vehicle driving
  • 👀 6 hours of in-car observation

Students learn everything from basic vehicle control and parking to highway driving, emergency maneuvers, and inclement weather strategies — all tailored to NH driving laws and conditions.
