BUCKLE IN

Some kids like going to school, some kids, not so much. But the one school every student who is approaching driving age looks forward to attending is driving school! That’s because once they finish, they’ll be qualified to get their driving learner’s permit and be on their way to obtaining their first driver’s license.

Buckle In Driving Academy provides the very best drivers education training in Muskegon, Grandville, Ludington, Ravenna, Kalamazoo, Portage, and the West Michigan area for your teen’s safety and for your peace of mind. Not only do we teach all the basic curriculum required by the State of Michigan, but we incorporate state of the art technology in the classroom not offered by most other driving schools, including a driving simulator so students learn in a safe setting how distracted driving from things like texting, alcohol and drugs, fatigue, and emotions can impair their driving ability and affect their safety as well as the safety of others. These realistic simulations change nebulous warnings against unsafe driving behaviors into visible, tangible experiences, all without any actual risk to your student’s health and well-being.

Another important advantage we offer students at Buckle In Driving Academy is the opportunity to drive in a variety of different sized vehicles. Many drivers education programs use small, economy sized cars exclusively. These may or may not be the type of car the student will have access to after graduation. For our on the road segments of the drivers training curriculum, we utilize a variety of vehicles, from midsize sedans to large, crew-cab pickup trucks. In this way, students gain a more complete driving experience and are better acclimated and equipped to drive their family vehicles, no matter what size or type they may be.
