Pioneer Valley Driving School

When I opened PVDS, I wanted to make a living doing something I love. I love driving, working with people—especially teens—and helping out. I studied many markets and knew Amherst was the right place. I can’t remember exactly when I learned that car accidents are the number one killer of teenagers, but I remember knowing I had to act. Our kids are our most precious asset, and they’re dying needlessly. I couldn’t just stand by—I had to do something to make a difference. The hardest part was finding employees who shared my convictions. It took time, but I built an incredible team. They’re experienced, friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and truly care. There’s no better place for driver education. Ask a friend or stop by and see for yourself. —Mary Ellen PSA
