Hands On Training
The Lambton Driving Academy Difference
Lambton Driving Academy's blended learning approach sets us apart from other driving schools. The use of simulation allows our instructors to coach young drivers through situations that simply cannot be duplicated in a vehicle. Here are some examples of what this approach can teach that in-vehicle and classroom teaching alone cannot:
