Turning 16 in Garfield, NJ is a big deal.

🏈 Going to practice without asking for a ride
🍕 Meeting friends anytime
At Golden Wheel Driving School, we help 16-year-olds in Garfield take that first step safely, confidently, and the right way.
📝 Step 1: Getting Your Permit in New Jersey
In New Jersey, teens can begin the process at 16 years old with the 6-Hour Behind-the-Wheel Program.
Here’s how it works:
You enroll in a state-approved driving school (that’s us 👋).
We provide 6 hours of behind-the-wheel training.
After completion, your permit becomes validated.
You practice with a parent or guardian.
After required practice time, you schedule your road test.
We handle the paperwork with the NJ MVC so your parents don’t have to stress.
