Welcome to Action Driving School
At Action Driving School, we’re all about putting you and your teen in the driver's seat with confidence and safety!
Safety isn't just a word for us; it's our mantra. That's why we're proud to train in our trusty Buicks, vehicles that don't just talk the talk but walk the walk with impressive Government 5-Star Safety Ratings.
But hey, learning to drive should be as enjoyable as it is safe, right? We believe in creating a learning environment that's thorough but never stuffy. Our Behind-the-Wheel sessions are designed to be relaxed yet comprehensive, ensuring your teen not only learns the rules of the road but also enjoys the journey of becoming a confident driver.
With Action Driving School, it's not just about passing the test; it's about nurturing responsible, aware, and confident drivers. We're here to make this rite of passage as smooth and memorable as possible. So buckle up and get ready for an exciting ride towards driving independence!
Let’s hit the road!
Troy and Carmen Olson
Troy Olson, Owner/Driving Instructor
Hey there! I'm Troy, your go-to guy for helping transform your teen into a road-savvy driver.
Picture this: 30 years of teaching, a lifetime of coaching, and nearly a decade dedicated to training young drivers. My journey took a pivotal turn in 2014, when I began teaching driver’s education at Hawley Public Schools. That experience was the driving force (pun intended) behind founding Action Driving School, my own venture to guide teens towards driving excellence.
As a driving mentor, I've met all types of future roadsters – from the overconfident 'I got this' types to those who feel like they're piloting a spaceship rather than a car. And yes, there are the gamers who think a steering wheel is just a bigger game controller. Spoiler alert: it's not. But don't worry, we'll navigate this journey together.
Joining me in this adventure is my better half, Carmen. She's the wizard behind the registration desk, making sure everything's set for your teen's driving debut. Together, we're pumped to bring some driving magic to the heart-of-lakes area.
