- Do you ask to see the instructors, instructors teaching license from the DMV?
- Does the driving instructor explain to you what your teen will be taught?
- Do you inspect the driving school vehicle for proper equipment?
- Does the driving school instructor give your teen a checklist of things covered?
- Does the driving school instructor explain the commits to you?
- Do you as a parent or guardian read and practice what is written in the commits?
