Teen Driver's Education Course
Today's new driver will be driving on roadways where speed limits are faster than they have been for a generation.
The faster we drive, the more critical it is that we have solid driving skills and can put into practice defensive
driving techniques.
The Driver's Education Course is a defensive driving crash-avoidance program. It is offered to young adults ages
14-17 and is designed to reduce or prevent injuries and collisions. The goal is to help teenagers drive
"smarter" - increasing their knowledge and influencing their attitudes - in order to save lives. In the three
courses the participants receive 10 hours of classroom instruction and 6 hours of individualized behind-the-wheel
coaching.
Each participant who attends the winter class schedule must attend all three classroom sessions. Each participant
who attends the spring and summer classes need only to attend the "Rules of the Road" and "Defensive Driving" classes.
They will have the option of attending a "Winter Driving Skills" classlater in the year. Classroom must be
completed before the behind the wheel can be done.
Unlike other
driver's education courses, our training offers one-on-one training in actual driving situations. And we're
flexible; an instructor will call to schedule behind-the-wheel training at a time that's convenient for you.
We can even pick you up and return you right to your door!
Our program runs year-round.
All classes are held at our office in Sioux Falls. Behind the wheel schedule dependent on safe weather conditions.
Please remember this class does not reduce the 180 day waiting period to 90 days.
