Welcome to the Ashburn Driving School

About us

The Ashburn Driving School was founded in 2013 by Lyle Tulloch, 

a lifelong Northern Virginian.


We consider it our mission to provide students with professional 

behind-the wheel instruction to help them become competent, 

capable drivers who possess skills for a lifetime of  success 

and safety on the road.  


And it is our goal for our students to consider it their honored duty 

to raise the bar and to be the gold standard for drivers every time 

they take the wheel; we consider it an honor to have the opportunity 

to help them achieve this level of confidence and proficiency.

Our services

We offer behind-the-wheel driver instruction through:

 

-- Private, one-to-one 

    instructor-to-student lessons

-- An under-18 teen course with observation

-- An over-18 adult-waiver course with observation

Our Signs of Safety coffee mugs!

You know those basic, simple, seemingly inconsequential, ordinary signs that not only dot but even appear to clutter our roadways and are absolutely, almost annoyingly, everywhere? Pretty boring, wouldn't you say?


 Well, if you can imagine this, we at Ashburn Driving School actually really, really like those signs. As a matter of fact, we LOVE those signs. Why? Because those signs are 100% indisputably, irrefutably, incontestably, and incontrovertibly  

L I F E   S A V E R S.   

We think so highly of them that we've emblazoned them onto our logo coffee mugs with the intention of bringing them out of the background of everyday driving and into conscious awareness because we can't think of a better way to reinforce their importance than to place them front and center on the kitchen table. 


And we want to place them onto as many kitchen tables as possible, so with each registration package of five private lessons or course with observation, we'll welcome you with a set of two of these educational, informative, practical, and interesting Signs of Safety coffee mugs. 


Our first set of Yield and Merge mugs were designed because Failure to Yield and Improper Merge or Lane Change  are among the highest reasons for driver accidents in Virginia. We know that roadway signs can become almost invisible because our minds learn to overlook that which we see every day.  So we hope these helpful items will transform the moment and create a reminder of just how important it is to watch for and listen to what these clarions are calling to tell us.


So no more need to read the backs of cereal boxes! 

Now you have the Signs of Safety.
