Of course, you want to ensure that your child gets safe, efficient and reliable exercise. But with so many driving schools and available alternatives, it is common for questions.

Below are the most common questions, parents ask their child before joining a driving program - and the answers that can help you make the best decisions.

Ensure quality standards

Can reduce insurance premiums

Let the students do their G2 test first

Tip: You can check the school certification on the official MTO website.

  1. What is included in the text package? Most schools provide packages included:

Online or class theory (20 hours)

Text in the car (10-12 hours)

Homework or self -study (10 hours)

Ask the school for full breakdown: ✔ How many sessions in the car are included? ✔ Is test day car extra on rent? ✔ Can lessons be determined around school hours?

  1. Will my teen learn defensive driving? Good schools go beyond test appearances. They focus:

Dangerous awareness

Safe the following distance

Night and highway driving

How to react to emergency

Such training helps to reduce the risk of conflict - especially for young drivers.

  1. Are the instructors experienced and background stripped? Yes-mimo-lying coach is professionally trained and they will pass background checks. Still, it’s worth asking:

How long has the instructor taught?

Do they have a patience with a nervous teenager?

Can I meet or talk to the instructor before the lesson starts?

Many schools allow you to ask for a particular instructor if your teenager is more comfortable with a certain teaching style.

  1. How does driving hours work with the G1 license? When a teenager has passed the G1 -script exam, they can start the lesson. They must be brought:

His G1 license for each session

Glasses or contacts if necessary for sight

A positive, concentrated attitude

  1. Can parents sit under text? Usually, it is not allowed to support the car under the car sessions. It helps to distract and create a student’s freedom and confidence.

However, many coaches will provide feedback after each lesson or offer a middle -class progress update.

  1. How can I support my teenager outside the lesson? Practice is important. After each session in the car, the teenager asks what they learned, and plan safe driving sessions with them in their own vehicles (until you are a licensee with 4+ years of experience).

Also:

Avoid distractions while monitoring

Notice a cool, clear response

Let them make small mistakes - this is part of the learning

  1. Will it help in low insurance rates? Yes. Many insurance companies provide discounts for drivers who complete the BDE course approved by MTO. Make sure:

Ask the driving school for the certificate to be completed

Share it with your insurance company

This can make a noticeable difference, especially for drivers for the first time under 25 for the first time.
