Adult and Teen Drivers

Adult and Teen Drivers

Each year, traffic collisions claim over 30,000 lives and cause more than a million serious injuries. Taught by experienced police officer driving instructors, our courses provide adults and teens with the necessary skills to become more instinctive behind the wheel; replacing poor driving habits with good ones enabling them to avoid or manage crashes. Instinctive drivers stand a much greater chance of avoiding or managing a crash.

During the behind the wheel courses, the student will maneuver the vehicle through exercises laid out using orange traffic safety cones in a closed parking lot. They will experience each exercise element several times, in order to learn from their mistakes and to improve their skills. Our Police Driving Instructors will accompany each driver to provide real-time feedback while performing maneuvers. There is no stopwatch, nor head-to-head competition with other vehicles. The students are here to improve their skills, not to compare themselves with someone else.

With these skills students will become more observant of the traffic situation they find themselves while driving. They will learn to look far enough ahead to anticipate unwise actions of other drivers. They will understand why they should always wear their seat belts and why they should insist that their passengers wear seat belts, too.
