Albany Driving School Owner Faces Charges | Albany News

A 54-year-old Albany driving school owner, Charles Lanza, faces 11 misdemeanor charges for running his unlicensed “Learn to Drive School Inc.” after its license was revoked in March 2025. Students allege he forced them to lie to DMV road testers, used unsafe or unregistered vehicles, charged for unused lessons, and even transported non-students. Despite a December 2025 DMV warning, the school’s website still boasts 25 years of experience. Lanza is scheduled for court in Albany on August 19 and Bethlehem on August 18.
