Mastering Your NJ Driver's License: The 40-Hour Driving Package

If you’re under 21 and working toward your NJ driver’s license, there’s a crucial rule to know: the New Jersey MVC requires all permit holders under 21 to complete 50 hours of supervised driving, including 10 hours at night, before you can schedule your road test. That’s where Safe Roads Driving School comes in!

We’ve designed a new 40-Hour Driver Package specifically for students who need help meeting the state’s supervised driving requirement. With professional guidance, real skill-building, and peace of mind for both students and parents, we’re here to support you every step of the way.

What’s Included in the Package?

Here’s what you get when you sign up for our structured 40-Hour Driver Package:

• 27 daytime driving lessons (90 minutes each), totaling 40 hours of supervised practice to help meet the NJ 50-hour requirement.

• 10 hours of nighttime driving, scheduled after sunset.

• Optional Unlimited Road Test Service, available exclusively with this package.

• Flexible payment plan spread across five installments.

• Pick-up/drop-off available in Jersey City or at Journal Square.

  
  

We created this package to give new drivers real-world experience—not just pass-the-test practice. Our instructors teach everything from safe lane changes to city driving, highway merging, and defensive techniques.

Why It’s Important

Too often, students rely solely on parents or sponsors for practice hours. But let’s be honest—life gets busy! It’s not always easy to get in the full 50 hours, especially at night.

Our lessons are taught by licensed instructors in dual-brake vehicles. That means:

• You’re safer behind the wheel.

• You’re getting real coaching, not just seat time.

• You’ll walk into your road test feeling confident, not nervous.

  
  

What Is the Unlimited Road Test Service?

For students enrolled in our 40-Hour Driver Package, we offer an Unlimited Road Test Service—a flexible, stress-free way to take your road test as many times as needed until you pass.

Here’s what’s included:

• Unlimited road test attempts at select DMV locations (Newark, Lodi, Rahway).

• Transportation to and from the DMV from Jersey City.

• Use of a Safe Roads dual-brake vehicle approved for testing.

• On-site support and reminders about what examiners are looking for.

  
  

This service is only available to students who are actively completing the 40-Hour Driver Package.

Please note:

• All road test appointments must be scheduled based on Safe Roads’ availability.

• Road test dates are subject to DMV appointment availability, which can vary week to week.

• This service is valid until the student passes, but it must be used in coordination with our office schedule.

  
  

If you’re nervous about your road test, this service gives you the peace of mind to try again without the added cost or hassle of finding a car.

How Does Payment Work?

We understand that a full driving program is a big investment. That’s why we’ve made our payment plan as flexible as possible. Instead of requiring the full amount upfront, we break it down into manageable installments.

40-Hour Driver Package – $2,430 Total

This includes 27 daytime lessons (90 minutes each), totaling 40 hours of supervised driving. Payment is split across five equal payments of $486.

You’ll pay:

• $486 upon signing and submitting the agreement.

• $486 before your 5th lesson.

• $486 before your 10th lesson.

• $486 before your 15th lesson.

• $486 before your 20th lesson.

  
  

10-Hour Night Driving Lessons – $1,150 Total

For students needing to meet the 10-hour nighttime requirement, we offer 10 one-hour nighttime lessons. Payment is made in four steps, starting at $250.

Unlimited Road Test Service – $299 Total

This add-on is only available with the 40-Hour Package and must be paid in full before the first scheduled road test.

All payments must be made by Zelle (no fee) or credit/debit card (3.5% processing fee). Cash is not accepted, and services cannot be scheduled until payment and the signed agreement are received.

Tips for Success on Your Road Test

Practice Makes Perfect

The more you practice, the more comfortable you will feel behind the wheel. Use your lessons wisely and focus on the skills you need to improve.

Know the Test Route

Familiarize yourself with the area around the DMV where you will be taking your test. Knowing the roads can help reduce anxiety on test day.

Stay Calm and Focused

It’s natural to feel nervous. Take deep breaths and remind yourself that you’ve prepared for this moment. Trust in your training!

Ask Questions

If you’re unsure about something during your lessons, don’t hesitate to ask your instructor. They are there to help you succeed!
