Beginner Tips
-
It is recommended that drivers should have a minimum of 50 hours experience behind the wheel of an automobile before attempting to take a road test for a driver's license. Driver Education will provide students with 6 hours of behind the wheel experience, which should be supplemented with additional training at home. If parents are unable to give additional instruction themselves, then they should reach out to a licensed and reputable driving teacher or driving school in their neighborhood.
