Teen Driving Safety School

MSR Houston’s Teen Driving Safety School has the experience, knowledge, equipment, and facility to safely teach teen drivers the real world driving skills they need.

MSR Houston’s Driving Program is committed to maximizing drivers’ skills to maximize their safety, bringing their skill level up to that of the car so they can be in safe in all situations they may encounter.

Our Teen Driving Safety School is an experience beyond driver's education that gives novice and beginning drivers the opportunity to experience extreme situations in a controlled environment.

"I would recommend this course for any teen because what we learned is extremely useful on the road. It was good for everybody and a lot of fun!" - Joey, Teen School participant

"Driver education programs taught after school do an adequate job of familiarizing new drivers with traffic regulations and driving etiquette. However, this is only part of what is necessary for a new driver to safely pilot a +3000 lb. rolling weapon. The teen driving school at MSR provides hands on instruction in vehicle dynamics and car control in an environment that allows the student to safely explore the capabilities and limitations of a vehicle in emergency situations. This knowledge and experience is what will save a life!" - Charles, Teen School parent

Did you know?

> Motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of death for American teens.

> 16-year-olds are three-times more likely to die in a motor vehicle accident than any other drivers.

> Speed related accidents are four-times more likely for teens than any other age group.

> Teens participating in continued driver education programs are 60 percent less likely to be involved in an accident and 40 percent less likely to be involved in a fatal accident.

The primary emphasis of this school is a "hands-on" driving experience that can teach students many aspects of how to control a car safely in real-world situations. This is not a course to learn how to drive at high speeds. Car control, accident avoidance, and spatial awareness are the primary objectives. 

Qualified, licensed instructors are monitoring and riding with the student throughout the entire day. The class sizes are small (6 to 12) to keep the student to instructor ratio low, allowing for an abundance of one-on-one training. In this class, mistakes are learning experiences that are built on and corrected. In this course, students are also taught the dynamics of the physical limitations of their vehicles, as well as their own personal limits.
