STEP ONE: THE CLASSROOM

The Classroom Portion of the course involves establishing that a driver's license is a true privilege, and the understanding that the vehicle has the potential of taking away everything in life we cherish (family, health, time and money). We will teach that operating a car involves potential life-altering decisions each second that elapses. 

Pedal Bike Our alcohol awareness program allows the student to use goggles that simulate the effects of drugs on our coordination and vision narrowness. (weather and parking lot permitting).

STEP TWO: THE BEHIND-THE-WHEEL TRAINING 

The Behind-the-Wheel (PRACTICAL)of the course is a critical part of the student's training. We give individualized driving instruction with specific objectives, allowing the beginning driver's behind-the-wheel time to be more productive. Each student is limited only by their current abilities and the amount of hours in their driver program. Our policy has always been just one (1) student in the vehicle. We don't allow "piggy backing" one student to another. We want to teach how to create a stress free driving environment with individualized driving instruction. Automatic / Economical / No High Performance Vehicles (all driver education vehicles in the state have dual brakes)

Qualified, Trained Instructors Our instructors get more than double the training required by the state.  

Specific Lesson Objectives Our instructors do not "cruise" the road aimlessly. Each    lesson is filled with challenges and productivity.

Vehicle Awareness A safe driver knows the vehicle they're driving and knows what to do to keep from damaging it.  

Intersection Awareness Know where you might get hit from. Over 40% of the crashes that a "good" driver get into happen here. We use a proven non-conventional approach that allows the beginning driver to better understand intersection and the dangers.

Space Cushion Management Controlling space around your vehicle takes a pro-active driver and discipline. These skills do not just happen naturally. 

STEP THREE: THE CERTIFICATE OF SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION

The classroom instructor, behind-the-wheel trainer, student, parent and driving school owner must all initial and sign the certificate.

Be assured that at Louisiana Driving School, we have always gone beyond the state requirements and will continue to be a leader in our community, in our state and on the national level as well.
