2018 Honda Clarity (Left) or 2012 Mazda Miata (right), each equipped with automatic transmission and dual brake pedal. Dutch Fork Driving School offers driver instruction for teens and adults in the Irmo, Ballentine, Chapin and outlying areas. Driving has terrified me ever since I got my permit when I was 15.
I had taken the driver training with another company and was not nearly as prepared for the road test as I was after I completed my third lesson with Mr. Zimmer. He made learning to drive easy and a lot less stressful for me. Michael was very complimentary of you and shared what you taught him with us.

About Us
Report
My name is Richard Zimmer and I am a driver's ed instructor who specializes in teaching beginner drivers. I am excellent with teenagers and also very good with nervous drivers. I am a retired Navy veteran and reside in Irmo, near Dutch Fork High School. I enjoyed teaching my own daughters how to drive so much that I decided to do this for a living.
Instruction
Report
Instruction includes 8 hours of classroom and 6 hours of behind-the-wheel driving. Classroom is conducted in two 4-hour sessions, over two consecutive days. On a case-by-case exception, a student may attend the 2nd day of the class at a later date (i.e., student wakes up sick on the 2nd day of class).

Report
Please contact Richard Zimmer to schedule your Driver's Ed training, or with any questions, comments or testimonials. Normally the autumn season is the "slow" time for driver's ed. 2021 is finding many driving schools, including Dutch Fork Driving School, almost overwhelmed with scheduling due to many customers putting off their driving training during 2020 and are catching up.
