Your Haymarket Driving School

Abba Driving School has been headquartered in Haymarket since 2007. Our office sits at 14950 Washington Street #202, steps from the intersection of Washington Street and Route 55, in the heart of town. This is where we started, and Haymarket remains our busiest location with the most instructor availability of any area we serve.

We offer three DMV-certified programs: behind the wheel driving lessons, driver education, and driver improvement. Whether you're a teen getting your first license, an adult who needs to learn to drive, or someone looking to reduce demerit points, we have a course for you.

Families in Bull Run Mountain Estates, the neighborhoods around Battlefield High School, and communities along Route 55 can reach our office in minutes. For behind the wheel lessons, we pick up students directly at Battlefield High School, so teens can start their lesson right after the school day ends.

Driving in Haymarket

Haymarket sits at the western edge of Prince William County, where suburban neighborhoods meet the rural roads of Fauquier County. That location gives new drivers a great mix of road types to learn on, all within a few miles of our office.

  • Route 55 (John Marshall Highway) - The main road through town, connecting Haymarket to The Plains and Thoroughfare Gap. Controlled intersections, varying speed limits, and a mix of commercial and residential stretches.
  • Washington Street - The heart of downtown Haymarket. A quieter road with pedestrian crossings, on-street parking, and lower speeds, right outside our office.
  • Bull Run Mountain Estates - Residential streets with school zones, stop signs, and the kind of neighborhood driving that makes up most everyday trips.
  • I-66 - The interstate runs just south of town and connects Haymarket to the rest of Northern Virginia. Merging, lane changes, and highway-speed driving are all part of the experience here.
  • Rural roads toward The Plains - Winding country roads with limited visibility, hills, and changing speed limits. These roads are typical of western Prince William and neighboring Fauquier County.

Learning to drive in Haymarket means getting comfortable with everything from quiet neighborhood streets to interstate highways to country roads, all close to home.
