Tools For You

AAA Approved Driving School Network - Serves the need for guidance on choosing a driving school. ADSN operates on the same principles as AAA's highly successful Approved Auto Repair (AAR) program, which inspects and approves auto repair facilities. ADSN schools have undergone a similar process in order to become approved.

teenSMART - This 8- to 10-hour program consists of a workbook, DVD and in-car driving exercises that, upon completion, will save you as much as 30 percent on your AAA car insurance.

Teaching Your Teens to Drive - With a colorfully illustrated handbook, detailed teacher guide, live-action video and interactive CD-ROM, this resource can be used as a stand-alone program or as part of a high school or commercial driver education course. Parents and teens are encouraged to watch each of the 13 lessons contained in the 50-minute program together - before taking to the road.  

Driver-ZED - This interactive driving simulation challenges teens to use their eyes and brains to recognize driving hazards before they get behind the wheel. It’s much better for teens to learn now on the computer than when they’re on the road by themselves.

Sample Driving Test Questions (For Your Teen) - Many teens have a difficult time passing the driving exam the first time. Practice questions can help teens determine if they’re ready.

Becoming a New Driver (For Your Teen) - Designed for teens, this brochure provides tips and outlines responsibilities for being a safe driver.

Parent-Teen Driving Agreement- AAA suggests signing an agreement to help set realistic expectations and establish boundaries for teen drivers.
