Driver Education is a partnership between myself, the student, and the parent. The importance of student practice with parents is essential for our program and student success in becoming safe, proficient young drivers. Parents make a difference when it comes to teen driving.We both need to work together to teach our student driver how to drive safely and to follow the rules of the road. It is also very important for us to be good role models when we drive. Please be a role model to your student driver by wearing your seat belt, refraining from using your cell phone when driving, following the speed limit and all other motor vehicle laws.
