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.

A Helpful App

                                                              apple.com  A Helpful App We all want to be safe on the road, as well as others. But some of us can't help being on our phone or becoming distracted with other things while driving. Thankfully there are a few hand-free options out there, and Apple's CarPlay is one of them. Standard infotainments don't offer what CarPlay does. With CarPlay, you are applying iPhone software expertise to your driving experience, with Siri voice commands. Sending messages, playing music, asking for directions, streaming radio, or calling people hasn't been easier. All without touching your phone. It relies on Siri voice commands so you can keep your eyes on the road and hands on the wheel. Keep in mind, CarPlay is an app, it doesn't replace your standard entertainment system. Your c...

How Much Do You Drive on a Daily Basis?

How Much Do You Drive on a Daily Basis? We live in a society where people typically drive their vehicles for a short period and do not actually pay them off before jumping into a new one. There can be many reasons for this. This means that the total amount that they owed on the previous vehicle is tacked onto the new one so. Therefore, many people are indebted to their vehicles more than they are with their actual home loans. For these types of people, leasing a vehicle sounds like a good option because you get a new one every two years. The only issue with this is that you are only allowed a certain number of miles per year. So, for those of us who travel long distances every day back and forth to work, school or traveling, leasing is not the best option. We exceed the number of allotted miles in only a few months. The Alternative to Leasing A Vehicle So, what does someone do that travels great distances every day to be able to lease or to fit within the qualifications of a l...
