ABOUT US

Pinellas County Driving School was founded in 2019 by Vinny Parisi. As a State of Florida Department of Education Certified Driver Education Instructor, he recognized a need for additional education for student-drivers. As Florida school systems continue to cut Driver Education and as a current Pinellas County School Board employee he felt it is his job, his duty and his responsibility to ensure student-drivers OF ANY AGE have an opportunity to learn how to become safe and responsible drivers.

We offer a variety of options, from online classes where non-drivers can work to obtain their learners permit, to insurance discounts class. Our “behind-the-wheel” lessons are most popular because this is when we are able to prepare them for life on the road as well as how to pass the Florida State Driving Exam.

“What sets us apart from our competitors is that all our lessons are video recorded for our customers to review. This helps accelerate the learning curve so they not only learn quicker how to drive safely but also how to quickly pass the Florida State Driving Exam as well.” – Founder Vinny Parisi

We are the ONLY DRIVING SCHOOL who gives you the VIDEOS OF ALL YOUR LESSONS!
