This is an exciting time for your teen. As a parent, you may be a little excited for them yourself for they are about to get their "wings" and you won't have to haul them around anymore. Yet no parent hands a set of car keys to their child without some anxiety.

Let me assure you that you have come to the right place. First Class Driving School strives to train your teen better than the average driver's ed. program. As our Mission Statement says, we do not want to stand still while our citizens are injured and killed. We want to pro-actively reach new and experienced drivers alike and make a difference in traffic safety, as a whole.

If you are here, you have already concluded not all driving schools are alike. Would we send our child to a surgeon that we knew nothing about, including their credentials, experience, nor even their bedside manner? Driving an automobile has the same life altering potential as that of a major surgery. DO NOT RISK THIS ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY to influence your teen’s driving behavior by sending them off to just any driver's ed. program.

I encourage you to ask the hard questions. Exactly what will they be doing in the 30 hours of class? Specifically, what will be covered in each driving lesson? Then, be there when your teen is done with their lesson, and make certain they drove the time they are legally required. You pay for it, demand they get it. We like to say: "A quality driver training program is priceless". I say, "Questions of your potential driving school, they are the anti-crash."

Once you find a quality training course, your investment has just begun. Experts agree, the 6 hour behind the wheel minimum (created back in 1933) is in no shape or form enough hours to prepare your teen to make split second, decisions as they attempt to manage today’s traffic.

Think of how much time and money you have invested in your teen’s extracurricular activities. Why not make the better investment in their safety? Parents should consider paying a professional driving school to drive at least 12 hours with their teen and then, personally invest another 40 to 50 hours training with your permitted driver. This is a minimum; 100 hour’s experience is a much better standard (investment).

Feel free to email me with your questions or comments. We look forward to making a difference in your teen's life.

Driving Safer and Smarter,
