About Landen Driving Academy Classes:
 When can I start?
You may start
the classroom modules at age 15 years, 5 months. You may obtain
your temporary license at age 15 years, 6 months.
What is required to get started?
Please arrive
15-20 minutes early before the start of class. You and your
student must complete the Landen Driving Academy's contract, rules of
conduct and a general information questionnaire. Please bring your
student's paper temporary permit to the first class.
Do I have to have any driving experience?
No.
When do you offer classroom modules?
Classroom
modules are available evenings at each of our 3 locations as posted on
our calendar. We offer an expanded schedule during the summer
months.
What does this course include?
The course is
eight 3-hour classes covering practical application of proper driving
techniques and information necessary for your student to operate a
vehicle on the roadways safely. We use active learning games,
videos, class discussions and quizzes to involve students. The
class includes four 2-hour in-car training sessions which will be
scheduled upon completing seven classes and the balance being paid in
full.
What subjects are covered?
We cover
highway transportation system, vehicle familiarization and maintenance,
control tasks, traffic signs, control devices, and law including
right-of-way, strategies for adverse environments, natural laws
affecting vehicles, using your vision effectively, handling emergencies,
buying and insuring a vehicle, driving distractions and impairments.
We emphasize the importance of good decision making skills, and
conservative and responsible driving habits for inexperienced drivers.
What is required to pass this course?
Students must
attend all classes and in-car training sessions and pass a State
required test with a grade of 76% or better. If your student fails
the test, they will be required to repeat classes pertaining to the
questions that were missed, then re-take the test.
What can parents do to help their student be better
prepared?
Make certain your student is on time for classes.
Ask them what they talked about after each class and regularly mentor
them through the 50 hours of required drive time. We recommend the
parents use a Teen/Parent Driving Contract to clearly identify the
freedoms and responsibilities of their driving privileged, keeping in
mind that driving IS a privilege, NOT a right. More information
and a sample driving contract is available from
SafeTeenDriver.org.
