Fuller Driving School
Overview
I’m Sylvester Fuller, and I’ve spent 30 years teaching Driver’s Ed in the Wake and Nash County Public School systems. In June 2006, I founded my own commercial driver training school.
Becoming a qualified instructor required two years of rigorous certification, ensuring I can safely prepare students for any situation on the road. I’m also a father who personally trained my two daughters as they attended Wake County schools. Throughout my career, I have successfully guided more than 5,000 students behind the wheel. Even today, former students frequently recognize me in public and credit my instruction for helping them stay accident- and ticket-free.

Teen Driver Training
Teens are probably the most vulnerable of new drivers because they are inexperienced and are often tempted to drive recklessly. Crash statistics regularly show that a large percentage of teen crashes are fatal. In my experience, when parents or friends try to teach teens driving, the attempt fails because the teacher is unable to objectively guide someone they know well. Very often the aggressive and dangerous driving habits of the parents become part of their teens' driving style. Just because you know how to do something, doesn't mean you can always teach that skill to someone else the right way. The difference is good driver training. Over my 30 years of experience, I have probably seen and experienced every mistake young drivers make. By preempting these mistakes, I can make your teen a more confident and safe driver. While I cannot guarantee you'll never have an accident, I ’ll show you how to avoid the more common ones and how to drive defensively. Our training cars are equipped with special equipment like a brake on the trainer side and an extra mirror, so I can prevent you from making a mistake when we practice. See the instructor side of the car below. The majority of my years of driver training experience has been with teens and I know that they become successful and safe drivers much quicker when learning from a professional than from a parent or friend. I am well-adjusted to the situations that may crop up during driver training and young nervous drivers quickly gain confidence when training with me. I have successfully taught people with various handicaps as well � nothing is impossible if you set your mind to it!

Adult Driver Training
Adult drivers are easier to teach because they are patient, serious and conscientious. Many adults I teach have not driven before because they lived in big cities (where it was not economical to drive) or those who have so far had easy access to transport before. A new job, moving to a new neighborhood or a child suddenly creates the need to drive. For adults, some fear of driving for the first time ( or returning to driving after a while) is perfectly normal. After getting over the initial apprehension, adults learn quicker and are overall safer drivers. It's no accident (pardon the pun) that drivers over 25 receive the lowest insurance rates. For our more elderly drivers, starting to drive at an advanced age can be difficult but is by no means impossible. Often the passing of a loved one makes this a survival skill for older folks. I have taught older people to drive successfully - you can do it too!
