In order to get a learners permit in the State of Louisiana, the 15,16,17 year olds will need our 38 hour course, 30 hours classroom and 8 hours behind the wheel training.  We have these classes year round. You can look under upcoming sessions to see all of the available dates. Temporary Instructional Permit required prior to first class.

Parent meeting information will be sent out via email giving the day at time of the meeting. The meeting will be held at our Baton Rouge Office located on 7568 Bluebonnet Blvd. Suite H Baton Rouge, La 70810. Parents need to attend a parent meeting before their student attends class. The Parent Meeting covers all information in regards to the students drivers education process and all of Stop N Go's policies and procedures.

Effective September 4, 2018 a Temporary Instructional Permit (TIP) is required prior to first day of class.  This TIP is issued only by the State of Louisiana, Office of Motor Vehicles.

You must take student to OMV with the following documents:

Birth Certificate

Social Security Card

One custodial parent with Drivers License

This TIP is mandatory prior to first day of class!

If you are age 15, 16, or 17, you will need to following documentation to attend class:

• State issued Temporary Instructional Permit (TIP) to take DE only
• Legal custodial parent with drivers license or Identification Card

If you are over 18 years of age:

Passport/visa/green card

After completing classroom and returning for a road skill test you will need to provide these documents again

It's simple. Go to register now and pick your class.  Everything can be done on this web site - register for class, schedule drive times and road skill test.

If you need help, contact the StopNGo office.

It will vary with each student.  During the summer months when teens are out of school, from start to finish takes approximately 4-8 weeks. If a teen takes a class mid July or August, school goes back into session, and time is longer because of limited availability. If a teen takes class over holiday breaks, it takes longer.

If a teen is unavailable because of extra curricular activities, they usually take longer.

Adults, if available, can generally drive within a month depending on demand and availability.

Drivers education is a seasonal business; during peak months driving times take longer to complete.

If we have a class with 35 students, multiply that by 8, it equals 280 hours of drive time.

Stop N Go Driving Academy has never taken more students than we are able to drive in a reasonable amount of time.  The law actually states that all driving must be completed within 120 days.

Our students will receive a sealed envelope with their written test and cetrificate that they need to take to Office of Motor Vehicles. DO NOT OPEN THIS ENVELOPE On the envelope we have printed the documents needed.

So, upon completion you will take your teen, under the age of 18, to any express office or OMV to get learners permit restriction changed.

After student gets their permit that allows them to drive with adult supervision, they will need to log a minimum 50 hours of drive time - 15 hours of night time driving.

The more drive time the more experienced they should be before driving solo. Remember, new drivers take approximately 5 years to become average drivers.

While driving with new drivers remember, they do not see everything an experienced driver sees. You are in the passenger seat as an extension of them to make sure they are alert to hazards ahead.

After they complete the learners permit stage, you must make an appointment for a road skill test.  You must be at least 16 years of age and have had the learners permit for 180 days to take the Road Skill Test.

There is a $50 fee for our students and $75 fee for other students.

I don't like to call it pass/fail; I like to call it ready to drive by them self or not ready to drive without supervision.

The 38 hour course consists of 30 hours classroom and 8 hours of behind the wheel training. The fee is $775.00

A student must pre-register for this class prior to class starting date.

The class is mandatory by the State of Louisiana for all teens applying for a driver's license.

The 14 hour course is for students over the age of 18 that want to obtain a driver's license. The classroom is held every Saturday for 6 hours.  The OMV written test is given the day of class. The student must pass with 80%. The 8 hours of behind the wheel training is scheduled after completing classroom. The fee for this is $725.00

Students may begin taking classroom hours at the age of 14 and 11 months but may not drive until they have reached their 15th birthday. In order to start DE a student must obtain a Temporary Instructional Permit (TIP).

The TIP is issued at the Office of Motor Vehicle, the student will need a custodial parent with birth certificate, social security card and Student Enrollment form from High School.

Planning is essential because in order to get a driver's license at age 16, the student must complete drivers education and maintain a learners permit for a minimum 180 days and reach their 16th birthday.

No student under the age of 18 can get a driver's license or learners permit without custodial parents.

All students planning to take a road skill test must pre-register for an appointed time and date.  If the student is under 18 years of age, they will need a learners permit or proof that they attended another driving school, one custodial parent with drivers license. Paperwork need for the OMV will include birth certificate social security card and the student enrollment form from their high school office.

Adults will need proof of 14 hour course completion and birth certificate or passport/visa/green card.

The fee is $50 for Stop N Go Driving Academy students and $75 for other students.

TIP obtained for a Main OMV to take a 14 hour course.

Refunds are not provided.  The student can change class dates or driving times.  If Stop N Go Driving is willing and able to drive a student, we will not issue a refund.  A deposit is to secure a spot in classroom or driving times and is non-refundable. The state of Louisiana gives all driving schools 120 days from the last day of class to complete the 8 hours behind the wheel driving. A refund request will go into review after the 120 days period has cleared.

Stop N Go Driving Academy is state and court certified to do defensive driving classes.  We have this class every first Saturday morning except around holidays. The class begins at 9:00 AM and dismisses around 1:00.  A certificate of completion will be issued that day.  It is your responsibility to get the certificate to the appropriate court system. The fee for this class is $50.

Unfortunately, the State of Louisiana assumes that all first time applicants need to learn how to drive and some do. The law requires that all first time applicants over 18 take a 14 hour course. This course is a six hours classroom and eight hours of behind the wheel training.  So, driving is mandatory under Louisiana law.

All driving sessions are 2 hours in duration.  Adults that already know how to drive can schedule 4 hour sessions provided we have availability.

A no show fee is automatically added to your account if you do not cancel drive times in a specific time frame.  This fee is added because we need at least 24 hours notice to be able to notify instructors of changes in driving schedules.  If instructors don't get enough advance warning and we can't fill the open spot, it creates problems that can't be corrected without notification of cancellation.

It is the student's responsibility to cancel well in advance so that another student has the opportunity to drive.
