AAA Opens New Driver Training School in Bethel

AAA Southern New England now offers driver education, including the mandatory eight-hour Safe Driving Practices training class for teens and adults, in Fairfield County. The club’s newest driving facility is located at 67-69 Stony Hill Road, Bethel. 

Teens and adults must take the eight-hour Safe Driving Practices class before applying for a Connecticut driver’s license. The teen class includes the mandatory two-hour parent/guardian portion for individuals younger than 18. The adult eight-hour class is offered to students 18 years and older, who either may have waited to obtain their driver’s licenses, are experienced international license holders who need Connecticut licenses; or are adults, who never learned to drive.

Both classes cover the dangers of operating a vehicle under the influence of drugs and alcohol; and focuses on safe driving skills including the dangers of texting and electronic use while driving. The two-hour parent class also covers the state’s graduated driver law requirements. T

Teen classes will be conducted between 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. on these dates: July 21 and 23; August 9 and 16; August 11 and 13; and September 20 and 27. Adult (18+) classes will be conducted between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. on these dates: July 28 and 30; August 18 and 20; and September 17 and 24.

Classes are open to AAA members and non-members. On-the-road driver training also is available separately. However, combined class and on-the-road training may be purchased. Pricing information and registration may be obtained by calling 1-855-222-1050 or visiting www.aaa.com/drivertraining and link to “Bethel Driving School” on the lower left-hand column on the page. The fee is $150. Graduates of the 8-hour Safe Driving Teen Class, whose parents are AAA members, will receive a free Associate level AAA membership.
