New Drivers License Law

As of July 1 2008 and students can be 15 1/2 years old and get their Instructional Permit.  A student must hold their Valid Permit of 6 months before getting the Drivers License.  Stop and Go Driving School can give each student their Instructional Permit and Drivers License without going to the MVD to take the written and road test.  This means you will not have to take you own vehicle to the mvd to take the road test.  Stop and Go provides everything for you.  Remember we are the lowest priced driving school in Maricopa County and Tucson.  Have a great day

Back to School

Just a reminder to everyone.  It is that time of year and students are heading back to school.  Remember to drive 15 mph in a school zone.  Police will stop you even if you going 16 mph in the school zone.  Remember this law is to protect  kids from being harmed.  When driving past schools make sure you scan for hazards ect.  Also remember to check your tire pressure.  You tire pressure should be at 35 psi, check your owners manual.   Have a great school year.
