Our Introduction

Welcome to iDrive Alberta

We believe that iDrive Alberta Driver Education is one of the best driving schools in Alberta. Learning how to drive is no different than learning any other life skill like swimming, cooperating, decision making or information technology. It takes patience, effort, thoughtful repetition, practice and time to form habits and to acquire the confidence, expertise, experience and skills to be a proactive defensive driver.

At iDrive Alberta we focus on teaching new drivers the skills needed to travel safely on Alberta roads. Our goal is your success and our motto is driving skills for life. Our structured lesson plan includes commentary driving, and building a foundation, so that new drivers will know how to adapt to adverse weather conditions, as well as how to drive on different road surfaces, navigate through downtown, freeways, rural highways, unique intersections, traffic circles and all types of parking, including slow speed backing man-oeuvres.

Driving in the Rain: iDrive Alberta Safety Tips www.idrivealberta.ca/driving-in-the-rain-idrive-alberta-safety-tips/1. Keep a Safe Following Distance• Why it matters: Wet roads reduce tire grip, increasing stopping distance.• Tip: Double the normal following distance (at least 4–6 seconds behind the vehicle in front).• Watch for: Sudden braking from other drivers and puddles that can cause hydroplaning.2. Use Your Windshield Wipers soft and pliable• Wiper Blades Condition:o Check for streaks or skipping—signs they need replacing.o Replace wipers twice a year, or sooner if worn.• During rain: Use the appropriate speed setting to keep visibility clear without smearing.• Don't forget: Keep washer fluid topped up with a winter-rated formula if driving in colder months.3. Ensure Tires Are Properly Inflated• Traction is key: Proper inflation helps your tires grip the road better in wet conditions.• Check regularly: Use a tire pressure gauge and compare with the manufacturer’s recommended PSI (often found on a sticker inside the driver’s door).• Tread depth: Should be at least 4/32" for safe wet-weather driving. Consider deeper tread or specialized rain tires if you drive often in wet conditions.4. Extra Rainy Weather Tips:• Turn on headlights (low beam) to increase visibility.• Avoid cruise control in heavy rain—it can reduce your ability to react to hydroplaning.• Slow down: Even if you're within the posted speed limit, conditions may require driving slower.Extra Tips:• Know your brakes – avoid harsh braking or braking in turns• Watch for puddles and hydroplaning risk• Keep both hands on the wheel at a 9 and 3 position• Drive Proactive – Stay alert and avoid distractionsIn conclusion, by adhering to these safety tips, drivers can navigate rainy roads in Alberta with confidence.

I had opted for the 20 hour (10 session) lesson package and am really very happy with the service. I had Ranjeet as my main instructor and he prepared me for my road test very well . Ranjeet was very patient and was willing to explain everything in detail, which really helped me for the test. I also had a chance to learn from Jigar and Vivek for 1 class each and that helped me as well. Meetaji from IDrive is also very nice and pleasant and she helped me a lot in coordinating. Overall, I am really happy my experience with Idrive, as I was able to clear my road test exam on the very first attempt. I would surely recommend IDrive to everyone who wants to learn driving.

I had the pleasure of having Mr. Ranjeet as my driving instructor, and can confidently say that he is an exceptional instructor who made learning to drive an incredibly easy and smooth process! Despite my initial nervousness, his calm demeanor, patience, and clear instructions put me at ease behind the wheel immediately. Moreover, his extensive knowledge of road safety not only helped me pass my road test but also ensured that I can handle any challenges I might encounter in everyday driving. I highly recommend taking lessons with Mr. Ranjeet as his well-structured classes and the comfortable learning environment he creates were the reason I was able to get my license.

❤️❤️👏👏If I had the chance to rate 100 stars, I would give that.❤️❤️👏👏First of all, I feel very blessed and lucky to have such an awesome driving instructor.I was a complete beginner and had never controlled a car's steering in my life.I learned about Ranjeet Ji from two of my close colleagues who passed their exams on their first attempt. I took 14 hours of lessons: 10 hours of learning and 4 hours of brush-up (mock test) sessions.I must say, Ranjeet Ji is the best guide and mentor I could have ever get.I remember when I first started driving, I didn't even know how to properly control the steering wheel. ***** But today, I am proud to say that , I passed my exam on the first attempt, all because of Ranjeet Ji. ****From explaining every rule in detail on his whiteboard to continuously guiding me on speed checks, shoulder checks, and more, I am deeply grateful.Thank you, Ranjeet Ji, for guiding me from being a non-driver to passing the test on the first attempt. It wouldn't have been possible without your constant encouragement and reminders.Thank and you again for your hard work and patience.

Was trying to get license for last 3 years. I found iDrive and my friend recommended Ranjeet. I'm glad I did. All classes and booking went smoothly with Meeta. Ranjeet is an exceptional instructor. Previous instructors from previous company were short tempered. Yes I was very anxious like any other new driver and they all made me feel bad and yelled and made me loose my confidence. I was not motivated. But Ranjeet on the other hand did not yell at me not even ONCE. He always smiled whenever I made mistakes. He kept motivating me!!! I really appreciate his patience. His teaching is very clear and he knows what he is doing.And at last I finally got my license today!!! Will never forget him in my lifetime!!! Thank you Ranjeet sir and Meeta!!

Ranjeet is a VERY good instructor. He's very calm, and detailed. He gave me confidence behind the wheel that led me to passing my road test on first take! I am grateful for having him as my instructor!

I had a fantastic experience learning to drive with Ranjeet as my instructor. His use of a whiteboard to explain traffic rules and skills made learning easy and comprehensive. Ranjeet's calm and friendly approach created a comfortable environment, boosting my confidence behind the wheel. Thanks to his guidance, I passed my road test with flying colors. I highly recommend Ranjeet to anyone looking for a patient and knowledgeable driving instructor who truly cares about their students' success. Choosing him as your instructor will undoubtedly lead to a positive and successful learning experience.

Purchased the 14 hour (7 session) lesson package and was ecstatic with the service. I had Ranjeet as my instructor and he prepared me for my road test very well . Ranjeet was very patient and was willing to explain everything in great depth for more detail and enhance precision in your driving. After just 6 lessons I went from a mostly inexperienced driver to passing my road test first try with flying colours. I could not recommend Ranjeet and iDrive in general enough as you are almost guaranteed to become a better driver by the end regardless of prior skill or experience.
