About Drive Rite Academy We have been in business since 2014, providing high-quality drive school services to all of Brooklyn and Queens. Our students continue to dominate their road tests, and our group of amazing driving instructors only continues to grow.
Learning to drive in East Midwood offers an excellent mix of quiet, residential streets and conveniently located main roads, making it an ideal area for new drivers to gain experience and confidence. The neighborhood’s peaceful atmosphere allows beginners to focus on mastering core driving skills such as turning, parking, and lane control, while nearby routes like Avenue J, Coney Island Avenue, and Ocean Parkway offer opportunities to practice in more active traffic conditions.
Driving in East Midwood is far less stressful than in many other Brooklyn neighborhoods, which is why our headquarters are conveniently located nearby. The area’s lighter traffic and suburban-style layout create a comfortable atmosphere for beginner drivers to learn safely and confidently.
Our instructors make full use of East Midwood’s quieter residential streets for essential parking practice and basic road skills. As students progress, they can easily transition to busier nearby roadways to experience more complex driving conditions — all without having to travel far.
When students aren’t behind the wheel, East Midwood offers plenty to explore. While the neighborhood itself doesn’t have an abundance of large parks, it’s just steps away from Ocean Parkway, a scenic five-mile stretch with separate lanes for walkers, joggers, and cyclists that connects Prospect Park to Coney Island. The area is also home to Kolbert Park on Avenue L and East 17th Street — a popular local spot featuring playgrounds, sports equipment, and open green space. Whether enjoying a relaxing day outdoors or sharpening your driving skills, East Midwood provides a perfect balance of calm and activity.
With Drive Rite Academy’s experienced instructors, students receive patient, professional guidance to help them develop safe driving habits and prepare for independent driving. We offer flexible lesson packages and the mandatory 5-hour pre-licensing course to ensure you’re fully ready for your road test.
