Teaching your teen to drive is NOT EASY. Parents and teens have complex relationships and learning to drive certainly adds stress to all parties.

In Nevada, the graduated licensing requirement. is 40 hours of daytime practice and 10 hours of evening driving, all recorded in the Nevada DMV log-book, which is signed by the parent and turned-in to the examiner at the time of the driver’s license test.

PART 1. BEFORE YOU HIRE A DRIVING INSTRUCTOR The top three things to ask when making contact. Asking for the business license and owner information is a great start. DMV does fingerprint and verify background information for felonies, on an annual basis. Check in Yelp and Facebook can also give you insight into the company. Does the school pick-up and deliver to your door? This gives you the opportunity to meet where the instructor, see the vehicle and discuss areas of concern and practice homework. How does the school charge? Are you required to purchase multiple lessons at once.Part 2. PARALLEL PARKING TEST
After the lesson, ask your teen where the instruction took place? Did the driving consist of parking lot circles or only single lane, straight roads? Driving instructor Thierry Brest of Las Vegas NV Driving School website suggests; “Every instruction period should include a variety of roadways, speeds, and driving experiences including construction zones and parallel parking,” he continues, “Being comfortable and confident behind the wheel requires practice and repetition in all types of real road time situations. ”Did the instructor explain errors and corrections clearly?
Understanding what you did wrong and why, is as important to correcting the problem as appreciating the logic of vehicle control in all types of road conditions.
PART 3. HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN YOU ARE READY TO TAKE THE LICENSE TEST?
Does the school instructor recognize driver’s license test readiness? Will they provide a vehicle for the driving exam? What is their record for students passing the test on the first exam?
