Choosing the right driving school can be difficult. Here are some tips!
​
Adult Tips:
Price should not be the only consideration.
Visit the states' Driver Education website to see what schools are approved/licensed.
Ask what curriculum the school uses.
How many classroom and behind-the-wheel hours are offered?
Do they conduct classroom training?
What type of training and certification do they require for their instructors?
Do they offer a parent/guardian seminar?
Do their instructors give progress reports and a list of things to work on?
Are they a member of any state or national associations that strive for the betterment of driver education?
Teens Tips:
Talk with an adult about the different driving school options to pick the one that best fits your needs.
Visit the states' Driver Education website to see what schools are approved/licensed.
Ask questions. If you don't understand something or a specific skill you're learning, ask the instructor to explain further.
If you're uncomfortable with your instructor, speak with your parent or an adult to express your concerns.
Relax. This is a life skill that you want to master. If you're tense, it's hard to focus on the task at hand.
