New Driving School Comes to Vinal Square

For nearly a decade Chelmsford driving students have prepared for their license with Ron Vincent, but now they’ll have to head to Vinal Square if they want more classes.

Vincent and several other experienced driving instructors have come together to open Future Drivers of America, a new school in North Chelmsford located right at the corner of Groton Road and Adams Street that opened earlier this month.

Vincent, who has been instructing students at Chelmsford Auto School for nearly a decade, joins long-time instructor and former Ford Motors analyst Jon Liebold and Westford resident Craig Kevghas, who tempered the driving lessons he got as a teen on the German Autobahn and the streets of New York with several years in the aggressive driving required from during his time as a military police officer.

“We bring our experiences back to this, we won’t hire some kid who couldn’t get a job as a plumber so he came back and decided to teach driving,” said Kevghas.

Along with their experience, the trio and their colleagues aim to emulate the technology used by their students to improve the learning experience while also putting their classes several hundred dollars lower than other nearby driving schools, both of which stem back from an attempt to put themselves into the shoes of the most common clients at a driving school: teenagers.

“We understand what this means to a kid,” said Kevghas. “Getting your driver’s license is their first real foray into independence.”

Right now the school is focusing largely on Greater Lowell Tech students, but may expand their focus in the future, with potential future offices sometime a few years down the line, although they insist any expansion would require comparably experienced instructors to fill slots at new locations.

“Whatever we do, we want to make everything we do as professional as possible,” said Vincent.

More information on the school is available at their website.
