If you’ve driven around the city for any length of time, you have probably seen an American Driving Academy car with the words “Student Driver” on it. Since 2002, our instructors have trained 1000s of new drivers with personalized instruction and real-world practice. Many people in Colorado Springs, though, get their license without ever getting private lessons—so why is it so important? There are many reasons that all new Colorado Springs drivers should take private lessons before getting their license. Here are just a few.

You’ll Save Money

Insurance companies are understandably cautious about insuring new drivers. Teenagers are more likely to get into accidents and rack up silly speeding tickets or other traffic violations. Colorado Springs teens who take private lessons, however, can save hundreds of dollars on insurance. Insurance companies know that a teenager who has been properly trained—and who is serious enough about driving to take private lessons—is much more likely to be a responsible driver. This means lower insurance premiums and more money for college or for gas or for weekends.

You’ll Get to Drive Sooner

Colorado law currently allows for drivers as young as 14½ to begin classroom lessons, and driving lessons at 15. This means they can have their permit at 15 and full driver’s license at 16. This is only possible, though, if a new Colorado Springs driver is enrolled in private lessons like those offered by American Driving Academy.

You’ll Be a Better Driver

Becoming a driver is easy; becoming a good driver is not. Too often, teenagers have to learn the importance of safe driving the hard way. Our friendly, experienced driving instructors will ensure that you or your child will have the skills necessary to be a safe, responsible driver for life.
