After those two classes the students will be able to work at their own pace and any day or time that is convenient for them thus setting their own schedule to complete the required course material.

WE HAVE MOVED TO A NEW AND LARGER SPACE AT CHUTE’S PLAZA
686 Roosevelt Trail in the Chute’s Plaza. A MUCH larger space which will allow us to keep social distancing and still be indoors!
We are very Covid friendly- We have the only classroom large enough for all 30 students (if it is a full class) and still have them spaced 6 feet apart. Hand sanitizer is readily available also. Plus with our new online portion of the Blended program, student’s only come to our in person classes for three sessions- THE REST OF THE PROGRAM THEY COMPLETE FROM THE SAFETY OF THEIR OWN HOME WORKING AT THEIR OWN PACE.
Masks will be worn for all driving sessions. Mr. Vance is fully vaccinated and also had the booster shot. We do as much as possible for our student’s protection.
SO WHAT MAKES US A BETTER CHOICE? Mr. Vance is one of the only driver education teachers who has a bachelor of science degree in teaching. Our classroom instruction and our on the road actual driving instruction is far superior to what is offered at less quality schools. There is a huge difference. YES VANCE’S CHARGES MORE- AND WE ARE WORTH IT TOO! YOUR CHILD’S LIFE IS BEHIND THE WHEEL AND AT RISK EVERY SINGLE TIME THEY DRIVE AND WE ENSURE THAT THEY WILL EACH ACTUALLY KNOW THE MATERIAL AND HOW TO BE A GREAT SAFE DEFENSIVE DRIVER. MR. VANCE CONSTANTLY TEACHES STUDENTS ABOUT THE DANGERS OF TREATING THE CAR LIKE A “TOY”. THEY ARE TAUGHT TO RESPECT THE CAR AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD. We teach them to have a great attitude and get them to understand the dangers of aggressive driving and taking stupid chances. They learn to be patient and not take unnecessary risks when operating a vehicle. HERE ARE JUST SOME OF THE THINGS TAUGHT AT VANCE’S AND NOT TAUGHT AT MOST OF THE OTHER- CHEAP LOW COST- SO CALLED DRIVING SCHOOLS. You only get what you pay for- the others don’t care about quality instruction period!
Vance’s ensures each student understands protected and unprotected turns.
Vance’s teaches each student how to open the hood and check all fluid levels.
Vance’s teaches how to use jumper cables and how to change a flat tire.
Vance’s teaches students where to look and how to safely merge onto highways. One parent old us she was scared to death when her child tried to merge onto the highway and her son never even tried to look to see if it was safe. HER SON TOLD HER HE WASN’T TAUGHT TO LOOK BECAUSE HIS INSTRUCTOR LOOKED FOR HIM SO HE DIDN’T HAVE TO LOOK. CAN YOU IMAGINE SOMETHING AS STUPID AS A SCHOOL NOT HAVING STUDENTS LOOK.
I’VE SPOKEN TO ONE OF THESE SCHOOL OWNERS AND HE ACTUALLY TOLD ME STUDENTS DON’T HAVE TO LOOK BECAUSE HE LOOKS FOR THEM- TRUE STATEMENT! VERY SCARY TO THINK HE IS THAT DUMB BUT PARENTS SIGN UP THERE BECAUSE HE IS SO CHEAPLY PRICED.
Vance’s teaches all about multi lane roads- lane changes and sharing the road with big trucks.
Mr. Vance spends a lot of time explaining great visual skills and how to anticipate what other drivers may do.
We teach them how to “square up” and the end of a road and show them how that will help them see and avoid the blind spot. There is nothing left out. I have personally been requested to provide additional lessons for student’s who went to the wrong schools. That is how I know what they don’t cover and how poorly they teach.
