ADAMS SCHOOL OF DRIVING FAQ's

Teen (15-17 years old) Information 

At a-Adams School of Driving, we are happy to announce three (3) options for driver education. And, of course, all courses include everything without any extra charges.

Included in our Basic course are 30 hours of class, 6 hours of behind-the-wheel instruction and 6 hours of mandatory in-car observation. Included in our Advantage Plus program is 30 hours of class and 8 hours of private behind-the-wheel instruction. Included in our Classic Experience is 30 hours of class and 12 hours of private behind-the-wheel instruction. Completion of any course will earn state certification. After the second class session, we will take you for your permit and there is no additional charge for the permit trip. You will then be scheduled for your first behind-the-wheel lesson. These lessons are scheduled to suit the student's convenience and include free pick-up and drop-off at home, school, or work and the instructor's travel time is never deducted from the lesson.

The cost of our courses also includes a textbook & workbook, which are yours to keep. There are never any extra charges for registration fees, make-up classes, or payment plan. At the end of the four (4) weeks when you have completed the class, and, as soon as you complete the behind-the-wheel lessons and observation if necessary, we will immediately certify you with the Secretary of State; and will also mail you your Adams certificate, which is used toward high school graduation requirements and your insurance discount.

We also have programs for those teens that need to take only the behind-the-wheel or class.

 Because prices vary, please call today for complete information

*We will also mail a completion certificate, which is used to meet graduation requirements and will help lower your insurance rates.
*All students under the age of eighteen (18) must hold their permit for a minimum of nine (9) months.

Adult Information

Students over the age of 18, receive private driving instruction based on their own personal needs. All lessons are given in an Adams vehicle, which is air conditioned, dual-controlled and safety inspected weekly.

At Adams, all instructors are full time professionals who are very patient and very understanding, and, because we teach more students than any other driving school in Illinois, our teachers really are experts at working with people who are nervous about learning how to drive.

There are no contracts to sign. Students are under no obligation to take any certain number of lessons. They take only the number of lessons they personally need to become safe and confident drivers. And, when ready, the student will take the road test in the same car in which they were trained.

Instructors at Adams are available from 7:00am to 9:00pm weekends and holidays included at no extra charge.

Students will pay as they learn directly to the instructor at the beginning of each lesson by cash, check, VISA, MasterCard or Discover.

All training will begin in a low traffic area. Here the student will become comfortable behind the wheel as learning to make turns. And then, as confidence is gained, the instructor will take the student out into heavier traffic, onto the expressway, and before long for the road test.

Learning to drive is easy and fun. Just give us a call to get started right away!

DOES THE IDEA OF DRIVING ON ICE OR SNOW SCARE YOU?

 If you are someone with a driver's license who answers yes to any of these 3 questions, then maybe it is time to give us a call:

 1)       Do you get nervous when you hear there is snow in the forecast and you already have plans to drive somewhere?

2)       Do you have doubts about your ability to control your vehicle on snow and ice?

3)       If you come out of the doctor's office or mall and discover it has snowed 2" while you were in there, are you tempted to call a cab to take you home?

Well, many of us have felt this way at one time or another regarding driving on snow or ice. One big reason is we don't get a chance to practice in these conditions until we are confident. Now, you have an opportunity with a professional instructor by your side, to experience what every driver will inevitability have to do in their lifetime.

On your lesson, you will learn:

• How and when to use neutral and lower gears

• How to use ABS (anti-lock braking system)

• How to steer correctly when skidding

So next time, you can look forward to bad weather coming in. When that happens, give us a call. We'll come to your house, pick you up in our dual-controlled car, give you some pointers and tips, and you can practice driving on snow and ice until you know you can do it.
