Northern NY Driving Academy
Due to an approaching retirement date the in-car driving lessons will be dis-continued until further notice. Another driving school is currently in the DMV application and training process and should be up and running by spring of 2024. 
I will provide a link to their services after that happens. 5 Hour Pre-license classes on zoom have ended for 2023 and may be continued in the future.

The MSF Basic RiderCourse 2 – LW 
Qualifies as a NY DMV Road Test Waiver course in New York 

The Motorcycle Safety Foundation Basic RiderCourse 2- LW (NYSMSP BRC2- LW), is a unique riding curriculum for New Yorkers offered through the New York State Motorcycle Safety Program (NYSMSP)
You will use your own street legal motorcycle for this combination online, classroom and hands-on Rider Training Program. The course is approximately 8 hours (in addition to the 2-hour online course prerequisite). This Course is not available for Junior Operators under 18 years of age. 
This course offers a variety of practice riding exercises designed to further develop your riding skills on your own motorcycle. The riding exercises conclude with a skills test.
In order for a participant to earn their NYSMSP BRC2-LW License Waiver Completion Card they must successfully complete the included eCourse (on-line) all classroom and on range exercises as well as pass the skills evaluation at the end of the range riding.

It is designed for individuals that have had some street riding experience and have held a valid New York State Motorcycle Permit for at least 1 calendar year, and possess some street riding skills.

You’ll practice these critical riding skills on your own motorcycle in our secure riding setting.
