One of the obvious benefits of most driver education courses is the increased likelihood that your teen will pass the driver's test on their first attempt. In fact, most schools advertise this as their primary focus and the main reason for taking a driver's education program. Mullen's Driving School does not differ in the sense that we do thoroughly prepare each student for their eventual driver's test. What sets us apart is where we set the primary focus of your child's education. In order to obtain your license you must pass a driving skill test. Although the test is thorough, it cannot possibly scratch the surface of what your child will face behind the wheel of a car in just their teen years alone. This is what we prepare them for.

When it comes to deciding whether or not to enroll in Mullen's Driving School you must weigh the options. Driving schools in general are the only real alternative to what is known as "trial and error" learning. As making mistakes on the road can lead to devastating and disastrous results, most parents in the State of Maine choose to enroll their teens in a driving school. At Mullen's Driving School we understand the gravity of choosing where to send your child for their driving education. Our motto, for a lifetime of safe driving, really sums up what we're all about. Training your child for much more than passing their test and instilling in them the sense of responsibility that comes with driving is what we aim to accomplish with each student.

As keeping your child safe and teaching them to keep themselves safe is our focus, it is reasonable to assume that students graduating from our schools would leave "safe" drivers. We strive to break bad habits, keep new ones from forming, enlighten teens as to how quickly things can go wrong behind the wheel, what to do in those emergency situations as well as the dangers of driving impaired. While we have had great success and our proud of our alumni, the job of keeping your teen safe on the road is not done after they graduate. You cannot choose to drive safely if you have not been taught how to, but it's still a choice each teen has to make for themselves.

We our adept at helping teens take that next big mature step required for handling the stress and challenges of driving an automobile. Teen drivers are, by default though, inexperienced and more likely to partake in risky driving behaviors. We at Mullen's Driving School recommend upon graduation that parents drive a minimum of 100 hours with their children. These hours should not be used just to determine the teens readiness to pass the driver's test, but they should be used to assess the techniques, good driving habits and regularity of safe practices. The parents should also be observant of the teens emotional and mature readiness to start driving without the guidance of an adult in the vehicle.
