A driving school is a place where people go to learn how to drive a car. They have instructors who teach you the rules of the road and how to operate a vehicle safely. The school usually has cars that are specially equipped for learning, with an extra set of controls for the instructor. They teach you both the theory of driving and give you practical experience behind the wheel. The main goal is to help you become a skilled and confident driver so that you can obtain a driver’s license.
