Meet your instructor

My name is Carlos Bezerra, founder and licensed driving instructor. I began teaching driver education in 1993 on the East Coast, with four years of hands-on instruction in New York and New Jersey. After a successful career transition into pharmaceutical and medical sales; where I further honed my communication and coaching skills. I’m thrilled to return to the field I’ve always been passionate about: helping people become safe, confident drivers.

Now based in Los Angeles, I’ve been proudly serving the local community for over two years and look forward to continuing this journey. I bring over 30 years of personal driving experience and deep knowledge of defensive driving practices to every lesson.

At Let’s Go For A Ride, our instruction is grounded in the proven SIPDE method: Search, Identify, Predict, Decide, Execute; a trusted system that helps drivers stay alert, make smart decisions, and stay safe on the road. This method is especially important in a complex city like Los Angeles, where high traffic, diverse road users, and fast-changing conditions demand strong habits and focused awareness.

Whether you're a teen or an adult, our goal is to meet you where you are, understand your unique needs, and help you become a capable, confident driver for life. We know the challenges of LA driving—and we’re here to help you face them with patience, preparation, and skill.

Let me help you take the wheel with confidence!

Learn to drive in the language you’re most comfortable with. We offer full instruction in English, Spanish, and Portuguese so you can focus on learning — not translating.

Meet Your Vehicle

You'll be learning in a fully insured, dual-brake Audi SQ5 — a premium, safety-focused vehicle that offers both comfort and confidence on the road. What sets my driving academy apart is the commitment to safety, and it starts with the vehicle itself.

Whether you're booking lessons for your teen, your partner, or yourself, you'll be in a secure, high-performance car equipped with advanced safety features. The Audi SQ5 enhances the learning experience and helps drivers build confidence from day one.

Your safety is my top priority — and it begins the moment you step into the driver’s seat.
