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.
