Teen Driver Training

Texas law requires teens to complete a 32 hour theory course, 7 hours of driving & 7 hours of observation. An additional 30 hours of driving must be logged before you can get your license. SafeWay offers our teen course online with convenient local drive sites in your neighborhood!

You can enroll in a drivers ed program shortly before your 15th birthday. When selecting a program, be sure that includes both the theory and behind the wheel training. SafeWay Driving's online course is fully integrated with our in-car training, making it the most comprehensive teen drivers ed course in Texas!

To get your permit, you will need to receive the permit portion of your DE-964 from your course provider. You will take this certificate to DPS along with the other required identification documents. Unlike some online programs that make you wait until you’ve completed the course, SafeWay Driving will mail your permit paperwork after successfully completing your third session!

To get your completion certificate, you’ll need to successfully complete 32 hours of theory work as well as a minimum of 7 hours of driving and 7 hours of observation with a certified driving school or registered parent-taught program. Remember that learning to drive is not a rite of passage, but a skill set. National Standards recommend at least 10 hours of behind the wheel professional instruction.

Have you started a course with a different provider but are unsatisfied with your experience? You can transfer to SafeWay Driving to complete your drivers ed program! Before you begin your in-car driving with us, we’ll induct you into the SafeWay Driving System so that you are fully prepared to get behind the wheel.

The 81st Texas legislature enacted the Less Tears More Years Act which requires young drivers to receive an additional 30 hours of behind-the-wheel instructions by a certified instructor, parent or guardian before you can receive your license. At least 10 of these hours must take place at nighttime. SafeWay Driving can provide some or all of these hours for you.

Avoid the hassle of taking your driving test at the DPS office. SafeWay Driving is now authorized to offer the official Road Test at our convenient SafeWay Drive Sites. Get your license in familiar surroundings! Whether you take your Road Test with SafeWay or choose to wait to take it with the DPS, you will first need to take the two-hour online IMPACT course.

To get your license, you will need to receive the license portion of your DE-964 from your course provider. You will take this certificate to DPS along with the other required identification documents. If you take your Road Test with SafeWay Driving, we will provide you with a sealed envelope to take to DPS.
