We have graduated over 20,000+ happy teenagers. Our Driver’s Education course covers all requirements as dictated by California Law. Teenagers tend to choose the Online Drivers Ed course because it allows them to work at their own pace, from the convenience of their own home, and works very well with their busy day to day schedules. On top of basic requirements, we also focus on other key points:

• DUI and The Implied consent Law
• Basic Speed Law
• Speeding tendencies of teens and how to temper them
• Pavement Markings
• Right of way rules
• Safe and Defensive driving tactics
• Night Driving

We realize that learning to drive is an important event in your teenager’s life. This new driving journey offers many challenges and dangers, so teaching road safety is important to help your teenager develop safe driving habits.

When applying for a DMV Learner’s Permit, the student must complete a driver’s education course.

• Online Driver's Education Completion certificate (DL400C)
• A parent or legal guardian must sign below the “Acknowledgement Statement” on the Completion of Drivers Education certificate (DL400C)

Once the student has obtained a DMV Permit, please call Allstate Driving School (619) 850-1245 to set up the first driving appointment, otherwise the DMV Permit is not activated. When the student completes the first lesson with Allstate, we suggest that the parent should practice with their teen for at least a few weeks before setting up the second appointment. All students must practice with their parents for 50 hours, be at least 16 years of age, and hold their permit for at least six months before they are eligible to take the DMV Driving Test. Therefore, we suggest that the student should save the third lesson closer to the DMV Drive Test day, so the instructor will be able to prepare them for the DMV Drive Test. The Completion of Behind the Wheel Training Certificate (DL400D) will be issued to the student at the end of the third appointment.

You must present this certificate to the DMV for your driving exam:

• Certificate of Completion of Behind the Wheel Training (DL400D)

During the six months after they pass the DMV Permit test, by California Law, they must take a Six-hour Behind the Wheel Training Course with a driving school. As a parent you also have to train with your teenager for fifty hours behind the wheel, and ten of those hours must be night driving. At Allstate Driving School we believe taking the time to drive with your teenager is an important part of helping them understand the “Rules of the Road”. Our Online Driver’s Education Course and driver training is the first pathway to train your teen to become a confident and defensive driver. It is equally important that you continue to drive with your teen for the next 6 months. The good habit of defensive driving learned from our program is invaluable throughout your teenager’s lifetime. Follow these simple guidelines to make the driving time a pleasant experience for the both of you.

• Create a 50-hour log sheet for your teenager when training with you
• Practice with your teen during the day
• Find a quiet location to practice until he/she feels comfortable
• Stop practicing when your teen becomes overwhelmed or distracted
• If your teen seems uncomfortable with the surroundings, have him/her pull over and stop to take a break. Discuss what caused him/her to be uncomfortable
• As driving challenges or opportunities arise, explain how you would handle such situations. Give your teen real world examples to help them better understand the topic
• Point out traffic signs or driving hazards to encourage your teen to recognize them
• Position yourself with access to the steering wheel or brake pedal so you can intervene in the driving if it becomes necessary.
• Give clear directions and remain calm at all times
• Begin night time driving sessions once your teen is comfortable with driving during the day (ten hours of night driving practice is required)
• When driving, remember to follow the “rules of the road”. Your teen is watching to see how you handle situations that arise.
• Use seat belts at all times.
