Todd's Mission
"Today’s teenagers are tomorrow’s drivers. At Bee Safe Driving School, our mission is to equip our students with the skills, techniques, habits and attitudes essential to safe, defensive driving; not only for passing their license test, but to prepare them for a lifetime of responsible, alert, safe mastery behind the wheel. Our guiding philosophy is that better drivers, from the learning stage on, make safer roads for all of us."
Shea Smith
Shea is the mother of two wonderful daughters , both of whom she taught how to drive, (defensively mind you) at a very young age.
A proud native of South Carolina Shea spent the better part of her adult life substitute teaching and volunteering as much as possible to stay connected with her daughters education as well extra curricular activities.
Shea has been happily married for over 30 years, and is an avid dog lover. Her and her husband relocated to Murrells Inlet over 10 years ago from Rock Hill South Carolina. Once here, with her daughters now "out of the nest" Shea decided that she missed being active in the education and development of young students. Shea recognizes the growth our area continues to see and the need to educate our youth on the importance of safe DEFENSIVE driving. We are lucky to have Shea on our team as a Certified Driving Instructor. Shea possess the communication skills as well as patience required of a Bee Safe Driving School instructor. Shea is a huge asset to our team and is often requested to provide Driving instruction....
Justin Woods
Meet Justin Woods, your dedicated driving instructor with a serious passion for safe roads and a knack for making learning fun. Hailing from Marshall, MO, Justin’s journey behind the wheel is anything but ordinary. After earning his degree in Business and Sports Management from Missouri Western State University, he spent an incredible seven years (2018-2025) crisscrossing 45 states with an advertising company. Think of it as a masterclass in real-world driving: from bustling cityscapes to winding country roads, he's seen it all! This extensive experience has truly sharpened his defensive driving skills and given him an unparalleled understanding of every challenge the road can throw at you.
Justin and his fiancé proudly made Murrells Inlet their home in 2024. Seeing the increasing traffic accidents in the community, Justin was inspired to make a tangible difference by teaching the next generation how to be truly SAFE drivers.
But there's more to Justin than just driving expertise! When he's not in the driver's seat, he's a proud "Papa" to eight wonderful grandchildren, a die-hard Kansas City Chiefs fan, and yes, even a newly minted SWIFTY! You might also catch him behind a drum kit – he's been a passionate drummer in various bands since 1990. And for a unique twist, he's been a pilot since the incredible age of 13!
Justin's ultimate goal? To make the roads safer for his grandchildren and every child out there. He's genuinely enthusiastic about sharing his vast knowledge and empowering every student to become a confident, responsible, and skilled driver. Get ready to learn from an instructor who brings real-world experience, a dash of humor, and a whole lot of heart to every lesson!
