Drivers Education Courses

In Texas, there are choices to choose from when it comes to drivers ed. DriversEd.com provides education options that make it easy and inexpensive for you to take. So whether you’re interested in Parent-Taught Drivers Education or Professional Instructor-Led Drivers Education, you’re sure to find a program that works for you and your family. We’ll discuss the difference between them both and how DriversEd can help.

Parent-Taught Drivers Education

Parent-Taught Drivers Education (PTDE) is for teens between the ages of 14 and 17 to take the theory part online and complete the driving portion behind the wheel with a parent. Families decide to go this route because it puts the parents in control, and they’re with them every step of the way. But parents need to understand that as their teen's instructor, parents must be responsible and supervise the entire process.

This includes the theoretical portion online and the practical portion which will take place in the family car. Parents must commit 32 hours of academic instruction, 14 hours of in-car instruction, and 30 hours of driving practice (10 hours of which must come at night). The course will take an absolute minimum of 60 days to complete.

If you decide to do it this way, DriversEd.com has an online PTDE course specifically developed to help make the learning process more successful. Parents can rest assured that the course curriculum fully meets state requirements and will prepare teens for the DPS written permit test. The course even includes unlimited free online practice tests to help prepare for the real test!

Professional Instructor-Led Drivers Ed

Professional Instructor-Led Drivers Education allows teens to go at their own pace and then take driving lessons with a highly experienced professional driving school instructor. Driving lessons take place in the driving school’s vehicle, which is specially equipped with additional mirrors and an added brake to keep the new driver safe.

Parents can also feel at ease knowing the instructor is not only experienced but are great communicators when it comes to your teen and their understanding of the driving course, state-licensed with a background check, up to date on the latest techniques in crash avoidance, braking, driving safety, and Texas driving laws—and they’ll pass that knowledge on to novice drivers!

If you decide on Professional Instructor-Led Drivers Education, your teen will not only take their online driver's education with DriversEd but the professional driving lesson as well. They will teach the basics of driving as well as defensive driving techniques to maximize the safety of novice drivers behind the wheel. Plus, completing our Texas teen drivers ed course enables your teen to take the DPS knowledge test online for free.

Historic Route 66- Main Street of America

Historic Route 66- Main Street of America Over the years, Route 66 has provided travelers, dreamers, and renegades with an experience no other route can give. Established November 11, 1926, covered 2,448 miles and originally ran through eight states starting from Chicago, Ill to Santa Monica, CA and quickly began to be one of the most popular highways in America. It soon became known by other names such as The Mother Road, Will Rogers Highway, and was spotlighted in John Steinbeck’s classic novel The Grapes of Wrath. When The Great Depression hit in 1929 over 200,000 traveled to Californa seeking reprieve from The Dust Bowl and used The Mother Road to escape. Some traveled west with the promise of work. With barren land surrounding them, farmers and their families gathered essentials and traveled west in hopes of work. Towns, mom and pop businesses, and service stations along the highway survived The Great Depression by catering to travelers with supplies, fuel, and car parts. Res...
