Driver’ s Educa�on with Safeway

Community Educa�on offers teen driver’ s educa�on in coopera�on with Safeway Driving School. Classroom and behind-the-wheel lessons emphasize defensive driving techniques tailored for the inexperienced teen driver. All of Safeway’ s instructors are licensed by the Minnesota Dept. of Public Safety.

Classroom instruc�on prepares the student to take the Minnesota permit test and begin the responsibility of driving. The 30 hours of classroom is structured into 10 independent lessons. Students can take the class at age 14½ but cannot take their permit test un�l age 15. A�er class is completed, students who are 15 years old are eligible to take their permit test at any Minnesota exam center. The permit test is not provided during the class.

Behind-the-wheel instruc�on includes six hours of driving in three, two-hour private lessons. All driving is done in a Safeway car on city streets, highways and freeways with a responsible, licensed Safeway instructor. At least 30 days of prac�ce between lessons is suggested. Students have one year a�er comple�ng classroom to finish their behind-the-wheel lessons. Scheduling is offered online for 24 / 7 convenience. All of Safeway’ s cars are white with iden�cal graphics so parents and students are confident that it is a Safeway car picking up the student for a lesson. Students can get picked up for their behind-the-wheel lesson from home, school or work.
