Services of The Woodlands
SafeWay The Woodlands is owned and operated by John and Terry Gatesman, long-time residents of the Woodlands community. John, Terry and their team are committed to preventing “The Phone Call” that nobody wants to receive by providing the best driver training in the Woodlands area. Take your driver training seriously, and take it at SafeWay.
Take Driver Training Seriously
Choose the amount of SeatTime™ you want to increase your skill level for a lifetime of safe driving. Remember, you don't become a safe driver by getting a driver's license. You become a safe driver by spending hours of time practicing in the car with a Certified Professional Driving Instructor. All packages include the Online Course and meet State Minimum license requirements, so you and your family decide which skill level is best for your future.

Total Seat Time Hours
The total number of hours your teen will drive with a Certified Professional Driving Instructor included in each package.
State Driving Hours Remaining
The Texas “Less Tears-More Years” Act requires a parent, guardian or professional instructor to drive with each teen for 30 hours, no more than one per day, and 10 of which must be at night, following completion of their initial driving course. The number in this chart shows how many of those hours you must still complete before your teen can get their driver license. Why not let our Certified Professional Driving Instructors take that burden away while training your driver in a safety equipped, well-marked training car?

State Minimum License Requirement
The least training required by State law to get a teen driver license. Does not meet new National Standards of 10 hours minimum behind-the-wheel training and is recommended only for those concerned with their budget. We believe it is the best State Minimum required driving program in Texas but still recommend more hours of in-car training for your young driver.
Exceeds National Standards
New National Standards suggest a minimum of 10 Hours driving.
Add'l. Freeway/Intersection/ Parallel Parking Practice
Most teenage incidents occur at intersections, on freeways and in parking lots. Every young driver needs extra coaching in these areas beyond what the State Minimum program provides.
Priority Instructor Selection
Provides you the option of selecting your instructor. Regular drivers are not allowed to select instructors due to scheduling conflicts.
Emergency Roadside Kit
A cool SafeWay Driving branded emergency kit that includes over 30 emergency care items for you and your car.
Fulfills All Parental Driving Requirements
No additional driving is required by parents at the end of this course.
First-Time License (18-24 Course)
Learn the rules of Texas roadways online then build your skills behind the wheel.
Required for 18-24 year olds to obtain Texas driver license and optional for 25+ years of age.
