Why Wait?

The local school systems are overcrowded with students taking Driver's Education, why wait?

From the Cabarrus County Schools Website:

It is not unusual for the driving phase to occur three or four months following the classroom phase. The scheduling of the driving phase is through the classroom instructor who assigns students by age to the driving instructors at each high school. Every attempt is made to drive students by age, oldest first. Students will be notified at their high school or through a phone call from a driving instructor to schedule their behind-the-wheel instruction. The District Director's office will not have information regarding behind-the-wheel scheduling.
