A Safer Driver, Inc.FAQ's
A Safer Driver, Inc.'s address and phone number is listed on your webpage. How can I know for sure if it is an approved behind the wheel training school in Texas?

Will the Texas DMV allow my parents to supervise my driving practice instead of requiring me to take a behind-the-wheel training course at a state-approved driving school?
