Learning to drive in Oshawa means getting comfortable with everything from quieter residential neighbourhoods to busier roads such as Taunton Road, Simcoe Street, Harmony Road, and access routes toward Highway 401.

Completing an eligible government-approved BDE course can reduce the normal G1 licence waiting period from 12 months to 8 months, and may make you eligible for an insurance discount after completion. Insurance discounts vary by provider, so check directly with your insurance company for eligibility and savings. Ontario's graduated licensing guidance confirms the 8-month waiting-period reduction for eligible BDE graduates.
