Few people stop to consider that driving is one of the riskiest activities we do. New drivers, in particular, often lose sight of the life-endangering risks of driving over their enthusiasm for their newfound freedom. At Thompson Driving, we don’t just teach students how to drive, we teach them the tools to stay alive. This comprehensive classroom series teaches everything from road signs and the latest Arkansas traffic laws, to understanding traffic flow and crash avoidance, and the consequences of texting and driving and other avoidable distractions. Taught in a fun, but realistic atmosphere, the student is prepared for the road and the written permit test. This driver education course is a life skill investment.
Certificates of completion will be sent directly to LRCA within ten business days following last day of class.
Post J-Term Opportunity: In order to reduce your insurance and the risk of vehicle crashes, after your student completes the J-Term course (and obtains a valid driving instruction permit) we suggest that you follow-up with behind-the-wheel driving lessons. This puts the knowledge of the classroom into practice through learned skills in the vehicle, as taught by an experienced instructor, ensuring the student is able to safely navigate our dangerous roadways. Call our office at 501-225-4028 to get signed up. Lessons are taught seven days a week, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. by appointment.
