High School Driver Education Course

For decades, driver education classes in high school were thought to help prevent accidents. Research has proved that driver education does not reduce accidents. This is because parents are under mistaken concept that drivers education provides a complete driver program. This is NOT the case.

Drivers Education only provides a SMALL introduction to traffic safety. Students in driver education are provided with only 6 hours of the required 25 hours of behind the wheel instruction required to drive safely.

Students that take a Drivers Education course can receive two benefits from completing the course. They can obtain a senior license at age 17 and some insurance company's will give a discount on auto insurance premiums for students that have completed the course.

A Drivers Education course is offered by the Lake Grove School near the Smith-Haven mall. They offer after school and weekend classes. Defensive Driving School provides the in-car instruction for this course. To enroll in this course call the Lake Grove School at 631-585-8776

Private driving lessons from Defensive Driving School can help teens obtain the additional experience students need, in the safety of a dual controlled car with a professional teacher armed with a proper lesson plan, progress record and a teachers guide.

The most important part of learning to drive is getting experience behind the wheel of a car with an instructor who can teach you the accident avoidance techniques that will help you prevent auto accidents.
