Drive2Pass North

Hi, I’m Sonja Withey, owner and operator of Drive2Pass North in San Luis Obispo. I provide behind-the-wheel driving lessons for students across Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties. As a former educator and mother of three, I’ve always found deep fulfillment in guiding others. When my children began building their own futures, I knew I wanted to continue teaching. I’ve long admired my mother, Sandra Rios, who worked as a driving instructor for nearly 20 years. Through her mentorship and hands-on training, I turned that inspiration into my own career. Today, working with students and their families brings me great joy. Keeping teens safe on the road is my daily motivation, and I am committed to teaching the defensive driving techniques that help new motorists become confident, responsible drivers. My goal is to make learning to drive a safe and enjoyable experience. I look forward to working with you.
