Pinsonneault Driving School was founded in 1976 by Rick Pinsonneault.  We have been serving the southwestern Vermont area since then and continue to provide quality instruction for both adults and teenage drivers.  Our focus has always been to provide students with the necessary skills and mindset to become courteous, cautious and defensive drivers.

Our school along with our instructors are fully certified and licensed through the State of Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles.  We are insured with liability limits of $1,000,000.00.

We take pride in our service and are continually flattered by the positive feedback we receive from our students both young and old.  We are calm and relaxed.  We do not raise our voices especially in the car where a “mellow” tone allows for more concentration and learning without fear.
