Fair Lawn Driving School was established in 1959 by Joseph Lomonico, the former Director of Driver Education at Fair Lawn High School. Joseph took his experience and skills from the classroom to the road, teaching students to become safe and competent drivers. Later, his son Neil, a licensed driving instructor since 1979 and a NJ Law Enforcement Officers, took over for his father. Neil combined his knowledge of driver and traffic safety with his father’s passion and expertise in teaching.

In February 2022, Nick and Kristen Nobre took over the Fair Lawn Driving School from the Lomonico Family. Growing up Neil served as a mentor to Nick at a young age, so transitioning the Fair Lawn Driving School to Nick was like “keeping it in the family”.

Nick followed in Neil’s footsteps and also became a NJ Law Enforcement Officer and eventually a Certified Driving Instructor. Nick learned a lot from Neil about the Fair Lawn Driving School, instructing techniques and good education practice, which made for an easy transition.
