Did you know that the frontal lobe of your brain, responsible for decision making, doesn’t fully develop until age 25? Nicole Bisconer does, and she strives to give every teenager looking to get behind the wheel the tools they need to stay safe during this pivotal part of their driving career. As the owner of Driving 101, Nicole instructs in a way that balances this inherent lack of fear by ensuring her students gain knowledge and experience in a fun environment. Nicole founded Driving 101 in Vancouver in 2006 and admits to being a “driving junkie” who loves helping teenagers be safe on the road. A resident of Clark County, most of Nicole’s extracurricular time is spent at basketball practice with her 14 year old son and 10 year old daughter.
