Classroom Segment

The Traffic Safety Bureau is requiring that all students under the age of eighteen, who apply for a first-time New Mexico Drivers License take this class. This course will cover DWI Education and Prevention, defensive driving, rules and regulations, and most importantly, the psychological attitude of being a good driver.

Automobiles

The street driving lessons allow you the choice of driving standard, automatic or both types of cars. McGinnis School of Driving is one of the few places that still offers driver training using standard transmission vehicles.
