Whether you're choosing a driving school because your teens school doesn't offer driver's
education, or you are choosing one to get additional discount on car insurance, the decision is
not one to be taken lightly.
While proximity, convenience, and price shouldn't be overlooked, they shouldn't be the sole
decision-making criteria.

on your purposes, you'll want to make sure that it meets either your states requirements or your
insurance company's requirements. If the purpose of taking the class is to get a discount on
insurance, be sure to check directly with your provider, rather than taking the school's word for
it.

that the school you choose is clean and well maintained, You should see signs that the school
is adequately funded and able to provide a high-quality, modern driver's education.
Inquire about the course materials that they use. Even though driver's education doesn't
change as rapidly as, say, a computers curriculum, it's important to know that students will be
learning from a well rounded lesson plan and materials, addressing issues like road rage, cell
phones, and text messaging will be discussed.
Similarly, you'll want to make sure that the driving school's curriculum is well-rounded, personal,
and thorough. There are a variety of questions you can ask to help you figure that out.
How many hours of instruction are included in the course?
4 day classes will not provide the instruction your student needs.
Does the course aim to make sure students pass the DMV tests, or is the focus more
on becoming a well rounded driver?

of driving situations.
Finally
A solid driver education can be one of the best ways to ensure that your teen stays safe and
healthy for the rest of his or her driving future.
