Teen Driver Education

AAAA/Secure Driving School provides the in-car training portion of driver education programs at various private high schools in the New York metropolitan area. Call us and we will direct you to the high school that best suits your needs.

In addition to the High School Driver Ed program, we provide a driver education completion course that satisfies the MV-262 requirement of the newly legislated graduated licensing law. The new law mandates that 16-year-olds can no longer take a road test without extensive additional training (17-year-olds who take the driver education course are not effected).

Unless the 16-year-old received his/her permit prior to September 1, 2003, he/she now needs to bring a completed MV-262 document along with the permit and classroom training certificate to the road test.

There are two ways to complete the MV-262 document. The student may attain the additional required training hours from either a professional entity or a parent. Parent training is of course the inexpensive option, but New York State law requires the parent to have a dual brake vehicle, or conduct the training outside of New York City (i.e., Long Island).

When training is done by a professional entity such as AAAA Secure Driving School, we will complete the MV-262 for the student upon successful completion of the driving school course.

Note that New York State law requires 20 hours of additional practice to satisfy the MV-262. If the teen completes a NY State approved driver education course at a high school or college, he/she will have six hours credited to the MV-262 and therefore need to only the difference of 14 hours training by AAAA Secure Driving School.

At AAAA Secure Driving School, we offer two driver education completion course packages - a 20-hour course for 16-year-olds and a 14-hour course for 16-year-olds who have completed a driver education course.

The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles recommends 30 hours of driver training prior to taking a road test, of which ten should be in heavy traffic. The benefit of taking the extra 20 hours will be the confidence of knowing that you have satisfied this recommendation.

There is no substitute for professional in-car training. If the additional 20 hours proves a financial burden, a parent may consider the option to have your child begin the driver’s education course at the age of 16-½. Since the driver’s education course is typically four months in duration, your child will be almost 17 upon completion.

We can schedule the road test on or shortly after the student's 17th birthday. In this case, the MV-262 will not be needed. In order to exercise this option, the student must bring both his/her driver's permit and the MV-285 driver education completion certificate to the road test. A five-hour course completion certificate will not be sufficient in this case.
