Centrally located in Pearland at 5402 Broadway in the Dollar Tree Center and across from Jameson
Middle School (view
map), Silverlake
Driving School offers a fun and comfortable learning environment for your student. In
addition to teen driver education, we also offer a Drug & Alcohol Driving Awareness
Program (which affords you an additional 5% discount on your student's insurance),
and adult
driving instruction.
Our Teen Drivers Education Course consists of thirty-two (32) hours of classroom instruction
including lecture, discussion, video presentations and guest speakers. Your student will
be eligible to take the written test at any DPS office to obtain their instructional
permit after the third day of class. Our in-car instruction begins after the permit has
been issued and your student can also begin driving with any licensed driver twenty-one
years or older in the front seat. The instructional permit must be held for six months
and until the student driver reaches the age of sixteen.
Our Adult Driving Program offers one-on-one in-car instruction at $45.00 per hour with
a two-hour minimum. You must have your instructional permit before driving can begin.
Insurance
The high cost of auto insurance is a concern for all parents of new drivers. Successful
completion of our state-certified teen driver education course offers a 10% discount on
your teen’s insurance premium. We have chosen to include a six-hour approved Drug &
Alcohol Driving Awareness Program in our standard curriculum because we strongly feel
that each new teen driver needs this information. All of our students receive this instruction
and may purchase a Certificate of Completion for the six hours we spend learning about the
risks of driving while under the influence of alcohol or any type of drug, even simple
over-the-counter products. The certificate is $20.00 and will offer an ADDITIONAL 5%
discount on your teen’s insurance premium. Again, ALL of our students receive the DADAP program whether you chose to purchase the Completion Certificate or not. Many large
insurance companies are offering other discount programs for new drivers (STEER CLEAR offered
by State Farm and TEEN SMART offered by Allstate). Some large companies also offer discounts
for academic achievement. Please check with your personal insurance agent to learn what discounts
might be available to you and learn how the discounts will affect your premium costs when your
teen begins to drive.
Please call us at 281-485-2811 with any questions regarding the training we offer.
Our telephone is
answered twenty-four (24) hours a day by a live person. You will never find yourself
wandering through a recorded answering system. Silverlake
Driving School is open from 12 Noon until
8 pm each weekday and from 10 - 2 pm on Saturdays! We accept cash, checks, and all
major credit
cards.
