Drive Safely with a Certified Instructor
Additional Benefits of coming to Fricks Driving School:
We take learning to drive seriously. This is what we do for a living…it’s not the owner's part-time or summer employment. We’ve taught
over 75,000 people how to drive! Most of our instructors are public school teachers. We have patient instructors who do not yell at
students. Our classroom instructors try to keep everyone involved. They believe in hands-on learning along with traditional learning methods.
For example: use a simulator, prior to going out on the road; we have the students participate in the “Drunk Busters” activities, along with
checking brake reaction and changing a tire (weather permitting), etc.

Fricks Driving School was established in 1960. Bill Wagner purchased Frick's in 1971 and is the current president. He taught science and coached in the SBCSC for 15 years until he decided, in 1983, to pursue his career in driver’s education full time. He has his Master’s Degree in Guidance and Counseling.
Choosing a driving school is very important. It can set the tone for a lifetime on the road. You want a driving school that goes beyond the basics. Training your new driver safely is too important to look for the lowest price or even the most conveniently located program. That's why we at Fricks Driving School do things a little differently.
First, you receive personalized attention in the classroom and behind the wheel. Our instructors give each student private driving time. This one-on-one attention eases the fears and embarrassment of not knowing how to drive or not doing as well as someone else. It helps a student relax and concentrate on learning.
As a Fricks Driving School student, you can learn to drive a shift-type vehicle as well as an automatic. It's fairly easy to learn and may be of help to you in the future...in an emergency or if you're ever required to drive a five-speed or six speed shift-type vehicle.
Fricks Driving School is one of the few driving schools in Indiana that is authorized to teach the National Safety Council's Defensive Driving Course. Upon completion of our course, you'll receive a four point credit on your driving record.
