Driving Schools in the Dallas / Fort Worth Area

As an adult, the privilege of driving can almost be considered a curse. If you can drive, then you can do the grocery shopping, run all errands, and, of course, be stuck in rush hour work traffic for most of your waking life. However, when you turn thirteen you are now officially a teen and the chance to drive looms only a few years away. You beg to move the car in the driveway. You are aware of new car models. You plan your sound system, with little thought to the fact that in all likelihood you will be inheriting the family junker - a boring four door with a few scrapes - reminders of an older sibling. Years zoom by and suddenly you are fifteen with a permit in hand, eagerly begging for driving lessons. Living in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, you have plenty of driving class choices.

This article shall discuss three driving schools (located in the Dallas-Fort Worth area) in one lump sum, and then offer one exciting alternative school. Academy Driving, Alliance Driving, and Metro Driving all offer similar programs and prices to meet the driving skill requirements of the state of Texas. Generally geared towards ages fifteen to eighteen, the schools offer a 32-hour class phase, followed by a 14- hour car phase.

Two hour classes are probably one hour in a row too many for inattentive teens. Slumped at desks, they watch films showing the horrors of crashing, the dangers of drinking and driving, and driving skill movies. They might as well be watching The French Connection for the skill portion absorbed. Lectures, bookwork, and testing complete the classroom phase. Now eager to show their lead foot inclinations, students and instructors slide behind the wheel. Seven hours of observation and seven hours of actual driving are logged for completion of requirements. The schools do their job as mandated by the state, and in theory your teen should be able to pass the drivers test.
