Founded in 2011, 1 ACT Driving Schools operates seven locations across Atlanta and the surrounding metro area, including campuses in Sandy Springs, Lawrenceville, Doraville, Alpharetta, Johns Creek, and Marietta. Formerly known as 1 ACT DUI and Defensive Driving School, the organization describes its core priority as service above everything else, with an emphasis on operational excellence and customer satisfaction across every enrollment.
The school offers a broad range of driving programs at clearly listed prices. Behind-the-wheel driving lessons start at $185. Driver’s education compliant with Georgia’s Joshua’s Law begins at $100. The 6-hour DDS-certified defensive driving course is priced at $95 and covers strategies for ticket dismissal, license point reduction, and safe driving practices. The 20-hour DUI/Risk Reduction assessment program, which meets court and DDS requirements for license reinstatement and fine reduction, is available at $360. Road testing services are also offered at $125 per appointment.
All defensive driving and DUI courses are Georgia DDS-certified and court-approved. The school holds state licenses for DUI instruction, Driver Instruction, and Driver Testing across its multiple locations. Both in-person and remote formats via Zoom are available for defensive driving and DUI courses, giving students flexibility based on their circumstances and schedule.
Operating hours run Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday through Sunday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Students can reach the school by phone at 770-274-4223 or by text at 404-590-4570, and email-based support is also available. The school maintains an active blog covering topics such as road test preparation requirements and strategies for reducing license points under Georgia DDS rules.
