Learn to Handle Oakley’s Busiest Roads with Confidence

Every driving lesson is tailored to your experience level. New drivers begin in quiet neighborhoods and low-traffic areas before gradually progressing to busier streets and higher-speed roads as their skills improve. Our goal is to build confidence first—then prepare students for the types of traffic they’ll encounter every day in Oakley.

Some of the area’s most challenging roads include:

  • Highway 4: A major commuter route near Oakley with higher speeds, multiple lanes, merging traffic, and busy interchanges.
  • Main Street: A central roadway through Oakley with multiple intersections, traffic signals, businesses, and steady local traffic.
  • O’Hara Avenue: A heavily traveled north-south roadway with residential areas, commercial traffic, multiple intersections, and connections to Highway 4.

We don’t start new drivers on Oakley’s busiest roads. Instead, our instructors help students develop the skills and confidence they need before gradually introducing more challenging driving situations. This approach helps students become safe, capable drivers who are prepared for the roads ahead.

I highly recommend booking with Nick Zimmer! Learned new rules of the road with every lesson and after finishing up my lessons with him, I passed my driving test on the first try with only 4 deduction points out of 15 allowed. Thank you so much for your help!

My sister and I booked the 8 class package with advantage driving school. I had a total of 24 lessons. They were kind on every single one. I was new to driving at the start of this summer, I had never driven a car before but they were very understanding. I was never made to feel less than on any lesson and even when I failed my first test, they worked with me to identify my learning deficits. I got my license on Wednesday and it was because of their attention, critique and kindness. I am especially grateful to Nick and Micheal and if you are someone like me, you should definitely check them out. They also have payment plans that made this easier on us. Thank you guys.

The driving instructors at Advantage are amazing! Michael has helped me to become a much safer driver with all of his guidance and stories, and I am truly grateful that I had such an incredible instructor. Nick was also tremendously helpful on exam day with all of his great tips and advice. I passed on the first try thanks to them! Thank you both so much!

Michael was a great instructor from the get-go! I greatly appreciated his patience, professionalism and warmth as I practiced for my DMV road test. He was very helpful, and I now have a much better idea of how to be an excellent driver!

My daughter had a GREAT experience with Advantage Driving School, Brentwood! She had Michael and Nick. Both of them made my daughter feel very confident and comfortable being behind the wheel. Both instructors gave her great tips and she was a little uncomfortable with parking. They gave her good advice and tips to make it easier for her and to master the skill. I highly recommend this business for any driver’s needing behind the wheel lessons!
