In the past, Driver Education and Training were a part of the school curriculum. Some schools still offer Driver Ed classes, but no longer offer hands on driving lessons. There are several reasons for this shift, and the teen driving statistics are the biggest. The NHTSA says driving is the leading cause of teen death. In the past, PE teachers would often also be driving instructors, but that wasn’t always the best way of doing things. As professional driving schools grew in popularity, teen traffic injuries and fatalities have decreased. Central Valley Driving School instructors are better trained, more experienced and re-certified by the DMV more often than driving schools. We take teen driving safety seriously at Central Valley Driving School. We never cut corners. We offer top notch education, use well maintained vehicles and our instructors are top notch. You may be able to find cheaper driver education elsewhere, but choosing quality driver education could be the difference. It’s like deciding between an Ivy League education or taking a gamble on something less well known.
