Teen Segment 2 is a mandatory 3 day, 6 hour defensive driving class all minors must take in order to take a road test and obtain the next Level 2 license.

The starting date for Segment 2 must be at least three months from the issue date of the student's Level One License in order to be eligible to take the class. Students must have also acquired 30 total hours of practice driving, including 2 at night, in order to be eligible.

Our Segment 2 classes are held near the end of every month at any one of our classroom locations.

Students must be 14 years and 8 months by the first day of class. An original birth certificate to verify the student's age should be brought to the first class.

Segment 1 includes:

• 24 hours of classroom instruction and 6 hours of Behind the Wheel Driving & 4 hours of Observation.
• Classes are 3 weeks long, with session occurring 4 days each week. Each session is 2 hours long. Makeup days are usually completed during the first week of the next Segment 1 class.
• All materials for the class will be provided at no extra charge. Each student will be given a textbook for use which will need to be returned at the end of class. We use the Michigan Traffic Safety Education Student Manual (2010), approved by the Michigan Driver and Traffic Safety Education Association (MDTSEA) and the Michigan Secretary of State.
• Each student will also need to complete 6 hours of behind-the-wheel driving along with 4 hours of in car observation. This is already included in our Segment 1 packages. The behind-the-wheel driving will be done in our automobile on the city streets, highways, and expressways of Genesee county. Our car is equipped with dual control brakes and is fully insured for your safety. Depending on enrollment, students may do their roadwork before or after class and then be taken home or to class. If other driving will be needed, the student will be picked up at home or a mutually agreed upon place and then returned to the same. Driving may sometimes be done on weekends. In some classes, the driving may have to be done after the last day of class and possibly take part of the next several weeks to complete. All class work and road work must be completed in 6 weeks. Every effort will be made to make the driving as convenient as possible for each student.

Once the student has passed the class work and become certified by the road instructor, within 3 business days, he/she will receive his or her SEGMENT 1 Driver Education Certificate of Completion. This certifies that he/she has completed the mandatory Driver Education program as required by law, for those under 18 years of age. The SEGMENT 1 Driver Education Certificate of Completion must be taken to the Secretary of States office to obtain a level 1 learner's license. Each student will also need to take an original birth certificate or a certified copy. A vision test will also be required at that time. The cost is $25.
