写的 特约撰稿人

Need help deciding which course to take? 第一个因素是年龄. If you are 18–24 years of age, then our 成人驾驶教育 course is for you since you don't need a learner's permit. 的 course is voluntary for adults 25 and older but highly recommended for all first time and novice drivers.

If you're between the ages of 14 and 17, you can choose between our 在线司机教育 和我们的 家长教驾驶. Both classes enable you to get your Texas driver's license, but through different methods. 让我们来比较一下:

家长教驾驶 (PTDE)

PTDE lets students and parents work together to teach students the importance of driving safely and understanding the rules of the road. It allows a parent or legal guardian to work with the student to satisfy the 44 hours of behind-the-wheel driving required by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (cq9跳高高中大奖视频).

With PTDE, each student and parent are required to request approval by completing a cq9跳高高中大奖视频 application. Once approved, the cq9跳高高中大奖视频 will send you a 家长教驾驶 Program Guide. Once you receive your cq9跳高高中大奖视频 guide, you can begin the online course material necessary to apply for your first Texas learner's permit and driver's license. Teens 15–17 years old can apply for their learner's permit as soon as they complete the first course module. 的 online learner's permit exam isn't included in the price of the PTDE course, but students can opt to add it when ready, allowing them to skip the DPS.

在线司机教育

在线司机教育 course is designed for students who want to fulfill the state's learning requirements about safe driving on their own, without the aid of a guardian or parent. Teens can begin their online driver education immediately. Those 15–17 years of age can take the online learner's permit exam after completing the first course module — it's included as part of this course package. 不需要在DPS测试!

To satisfy the state-required 44 hours of behind-the-wheel driving, Texas 在线司机教育 students must either obtain this instruction from a driving school, 或者选择加上我们的 开车的课程. This course offers an affordable option because it lets a parent or legal guardian train the student instead of opting for training at a traditional driving school, 这是很昂贵的.
