First, you might want to have a look at our FAQs.

Our Winter Weather Cancellation Policy for Class
Since our driving schools are scattered throughout Southern Maine, we determine whether to cancel class on a town-by-town basis. If we do cancel a class, we'll notify local television stations.

Our Winter Weather Cancellation Policy for Driving Times
Each instructor decides whether to cancel their scheduled driving. If the instructor determines it is unsafe to drive, the students will be notified. We think it's important for students to learn how to handle light weather conditions— we live in Maine, after all— so we tend to drive in light snow, but not in ice or sleet.

To Cancel a Scheduled Driving Time
If you cannot keep your scheduled driving time, you must notify The Driving School office at (207) 892 8851 no less than 24 hours in advance. It's critical to our business that students keep their appointments, so if no notice is given, there is a $50 missed-appointment fee. Please be very mindful when you schedule your driving times.
