===========================================

Notice to Students and Parents:

There is a current trend for driver's ed companies

to state that it is not the responsibility of the 

instructor to actually *teach* but instead to 

merely *observe* and *assess* its students

and that the responsibility for teaching the

student falls entirely upon the parents.    

>>>Please be aware that this is completely untrue.<<<

The Commonwealth of Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles 

absolutely *requires* its instructors to teach their students the professional knowledge, skills, and maneuvers necessary to become capable and adept drivers.

The parents' role is to provide practice time and general knowledge

to create familiarity with the vehicle and comfort in maneuvering 

on the roadway. This is why we recommend that parents obtain a

Controller(tm) Brake, as an excellent recourse for controlling the vehicle when the new student is practicing.

The Ashburn Driving School has built its foundation and ongoing 

trusted reputation upon the professional skills and maneuvers

that we carefully teach and the knowledge that we impart to each of our students.

Feel free to call us at 703-431-6728 should you have any questions;

and should you wish to let the DMV know of any situation in which an instructor did not meet the DMV standards, DMV can be reached 

at 804-367-7050, pressing 1 to receive a callback.
