Teen Driver Package

The Package is structured as follows:
-
Seven (7) two-hour sessions where the students complete one hour of Driving and one hour of Observation
-
Teen Driving sessions are subject to scheduling students in paired drives -- while one student drives, the other will be observing. The students will then switch so that they may each complete their respective driving / observation time.
