Classroom Drivers
Choosing the right Driver Education program for your teen is one of the most important decisions you will make as a parent. Teen driving a motor vehicle is the leading cause of fatal injury among our nation/s youth and potentially the most deadly activity a teenager will be involved in on a consistent basis. For this reason Viva Driving School has developed the premier Driver Education program and has become the choice of concerned parents.
Our three day classroom Driver’s Education program will prepare the teen driver for the challenges of driving in southern California. Our classroom driver’s education has an unparalleled success reviewing those topics most fundamental to the safety of teens including the importance of driver attitudes, problem solving in traffic and effective driving habits of defensive drivers, risk management, vehicle control and a comprehensive program on drugs, including Alcohol, and driving. These and many more topics are presented through lectures and enhanced by audio/visuals and class discussions.
