Overview – A & W Drivers Education School
A & W drivers training school LLC is an established driving school under the direction of Wendy White-Smith and daughter Alecia Driscoll who combined have over 20 years of driver’s educational experience. Wendy and Alecia wanted to make a difference in drivers’ safety and education in and around their communities.
After careful consideration and refocus Wendy and Alecia decided to establish A&W Driver’s Education School LLC. These 2 women saw a need for more individualized instruction geared toward underage drivers, immigrants struggling to establish driving privileges here in America and persons with disabilities seeking to learn to drive. Driving is an essential part of everyday life and should be treated as a privilege. In today’s society our young adults need all information regarding driver’s safety and responsibilities as a licensed driver in the state of Michigan.
A&W Drivers education school LLC follows all the health, safety and educational guidelines set forth by the state of Michigan. In our program we also concentrate on:
- De-escalating road rage encounters with other drivers

- Learn to reduce the intensity of conflict when encountering police during a traffic stop.
- Defensive driving tactics
- What to do in case of an accident or other road emergencies
- Dangers of texting and driving.
- Possible Consequences of being an impaired driver.
- · Choosing your passenger’s wisely

Segment One Group Class
Segment One is the first step you take when looking to get your driver’s license. It is a 3 week course, 4 days a week.
During Segment One, you will partake in 24 hours of class time, 6 hours of driving, and 4 hours of observing your classmate drive. Once you finish your final drive and if you pass your test, you will get your completion certificate. THIS IS NOT YOUR PERMIT!
From here you must take your certificate to the Secretary of State where you will activate it. Then you will have to continue driving at home. After a 3 month wait, you will be able to come back and take segment two.
To take Segment One, you must be at least 14 years and 8 months.
Segment Two Group Class
Segment Two is the next step you take after finishing segment one. It is a 3 day course lasting 2 hours/day.
Segment Two is a total of 6 hours of class time where at the end you will take a short test.
YOU CAN NOT MISS A DAY OF SEGMENT TWO OR YOU WILL HAVE TO RETAKE THE COURSE!
To sign up for segment two, you need to have at least 30 of your 50 required hours of driving done.
After completing Segment Two, you will have to wait another 2 months before you can take your road test to complete drivers training and get your license.
