Report
This is an excellent option for parents and young adults who can work independently and achieve driving lessons online. The lessons are extremely comprehensive and the behind the wheel learning is done as needed with the parent/adult teacher's own schedule. My son was able to do the virtual learning on his own with very few questions and I was able to teach him how to drive on my own schedule. We completed the entire training in about four months. Yet, per the law in Texas, a learners permit must be used for at least six months before getting the DL. I do recommend this product. It was also the cheapest on the market and their internet platform is reliable and user friendly.
