Can I take my Georgia road test at your Lawrenceville location instead of going to the DDS office?
Yes. 1 ACT Lawrenceville is a DDS-licensed Third Party Tester (TPT #673), so you can sit your official Georgia road test right here at 377 W Pike St — no DDS office appointment needed. You can use our vehicle and our insurance. Slots book quickly; call (770) 274-4223 to confirm availability.
I got a speeding ticket on SR-316 or I-85 near Lawrenceville. Can defensive driving dismiss it?
In most cases yes — if this is your first defensive driving election within the past 5 years and the offense qualifies under Georgia law, our DDS-certified 6-hour course lets you submit a certificate to court and have the ticket dismissed. The $95 fee is state-mandated. Classes run in-person here in Lawrenceville and via live Zoom — the certificate is the same either way.
My court date is coming up fast — can I finish DUI school and get my certificate in time?
Yes, if there's enough time. The DUI Risk Reduction program is 20 hours over 3 consecutive days (Fri–Sun or Tue–Thu). Once you complete the class, your DDS certificate is emailed by 5:30pm the following business day. If your hearing is within 2 weeks, call us immediately at (770) 274-4223 — weekend sessions fill fast.
What's the difference between the NEEDS Assessment and the DUI Risk Reduction class?
They're two distinct steps — both required, both included in the $360 total. The NEEDS Assessment ($100) is an evaluation completed first; the 20-hour Risk Reduction class ($260, plus book) follows it. The Clinical Evaluation is a separate service required only after a 2nd DUI within 5 years.
Do your driving instructors pick up students from Duluth, Buford, Snellville, or Suwanee?
Yes — free pickup and drop-off is included with every behind-the-wheel lesson for any address within 15 miles of our Lawrenceville location. That covers Duluth (~9 mi), Buford (~8 mi), Suwanee (~9 mi), Snellville (~10 mi), Dacula (~11 mi), Sugar Hill (~10 mi), Grayson (~12 mi), and Lilburn (~13 mi). No extra charge.
Is the live Zoom DUI or defensive driving class accepted by courts in the Lawrenceville area?
Yes. Both in-person and live Zoom formats produce an identical DDS-certified, court-approved completion certificate. This is instructor-led and live — not self-paced or pre-recorded. Georgia courts do not distinguish between the two delivery formats on the certificate itself.

"My son did his road test here instead of waiting weeks at the DDS. The instructor prepped him beforehand, he used their car, and passed on his first attempt. So glad we found this place."
