Each student is required to complete a minimum of 14 hours of "on-the-road" instruction of which seven hours are devoted to actual driving and the other seven hours are devoted to observing other classmates driving which should include discussion and note taking.
All driving lessons are supervised by one of our State-Certified, licensed instructors. Each of our training vehicles are equipped with an additional brake installed on the passenger side which will allow the instructor to stop the vehicle in order to avoid any situation that may arise.
Students train in new and late-model (automatic, 4 & 6 cylinder, four door) vehicles that are professionally maintained. The styles and features make them very easy to learn basic driving skills in, while keeping comfort and safety in mind. In order to better serve you, we ensure that our staff of behind-the-wheel instructors consist of both male and females - giving you the option to choose! Should the need to cancel your driving appointment arise, please adhere to our Cancellation Policy.
This is a critical part of the student’s training. Our students become eligible to test and obtain their driving permit after 3 days of class —no long delays. We exclusively use safety-proven vehicles with dual-controls, anti-lock brakes and front and side air bags.
Individualized Driving Instruction : we progress at your teen’s rate.
Qualified, Trained Instructors: Each one of our instructors/teachers is licensed by the State of Texas and nearly all have college degrees with teaching endorsements from the Texas Education Agency. We employ true educators withTWICE the training required, and go through retraining yearly..
Specific Lesson Objectives: our instructors do not “cruise” the road aimlessly. We fill each lesson with productivity, ensuring that each minute spent in the vehicle has purpose.
Vehicle Awareness: we teach that the driver is the pilot of the vehicle and it is the driver’s responsibility to know their vehicle. A safe driver knows their vehicle and knows what to do to keep from damaging their vehicle (ie. the significance of the oil light or the alternator light).
Intersection Awareness Skills: it’s not the stop sign or traffic light that causes a crash. Few drivers naturally look in the right places to prevent collisions at intersections, thus, over 50% of all crashes happen here.
Space Cushion Management: controlling space around your vehicle takes a pro-active driver and discipline. These skills DO NOT happen naturally.
Visual Scanning Skills: training a new driver to look “outside the lines” to find the dangers, then to separate and compromise.
Critical Skills: students get to “experience” anti-lock brakes and off-road recovery, significantly reducing their risks of panicking in a real-life crisis situation.
Push/Pull Steering-Hands at 9 & 3: how you keep your hands on the wheel have never been more important especially if your vehicle is equipped with air bags.
Detailed Evaluation: insights from your teen’s instructor as to where they need more attention, practice or more training. Again, we don't leave you out there without given you a "heads-up" as to where your new driver may put you or themselves in danger.
(14) Planned Driving Hours of In-Car Instruction. The training is done by appointment; each appointment totals two hours in length. (One hour actual driving and one hour observing a classmate drive.

Top Driving Mistakes That Cause Crashes
Multi-tasking While Driving
Driving Tip: When You Turn the Car On, Turn the Gadgets Off. No matter how busy your day is, when you’re on the road, focus only on driving. Catch up on other activities later and avoid unnecessary accidents.
Following Too Closely
Driving Tip: One Thousand One, One Thousand Two, One Thousand Three... Leave a three-second cushion between you and the vehicle ahead – it could save your bumper and your life. Make sure to double or triple that time when the weather is bad or the pavement is slick..
Failure to Yield on a Left-Hand Turn
Driving Tip: Check the Flow Before You Go. Look at the street you are turning into to make sure that no vehicles or pedestrians are in your path..
Incorrect Merging
Driving Tip: Yellow is for Yield. Accidents often occur when you are stuck behind a driver who interprets yield as stop. Don’t be the guilty party. Use the ramp as a means for merging into traffic, not causing it..
Backing Up
Driving Tip: Look Over Your Shoulder. Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear. Your mirrors have a margin of error; don’t rely on them alone. Look over your shoulder before backing up..
