Welcome!
Nathan's Parent/Guardian Class
Parents are a very important part of Teen Driver Safety. The Georgia Department of Highway safety says
" Parents should:
• Provide their teen with at least 40 hours of supervised driving experience, 6 hours of which must be at night. • Ensure that 16-year-old drivers complete an approved driver education course prior to applying for a Class D license.
• Limit the teen’s driving privileges if he or she is not demonstrating responsible behavior.
• Continue to monitor their teen’s driving after receipt of their provisional license and reinforce safety belt use, passenger restrictions, and hands-free cell phone use.
• Serve as a positive role model by demonstrating safe driving behaviors."
​

This fee must be paid PRIOR to any other scheduled lessons being taken or the "missed" lesson being rescheduled.

ROAD TEST with Nathan's.
​
1. Only students that have completed a thirty hour/six program at Nathan's class are eligible to be administered the State Road Test at a Nathan's facility. If the student's first attempt fails, we will allow a second try FREE of charge, with the purchase of a 2 hours refresher lesson at a discounted rate of $99.00.
​
2. If the student lost the Learner's Permit and got it reissued, you MUST obtain an MVR (Motor Vehicle Report) from the Georgia Department of Driver Services to verify the original issue date of the learner's permit. We MUST have the MVR before the student will be allowed to take the road test. You can print this report online on www.dds.ga.gov
​​
3. In the event the student did not sign up for a prepaid Road Test at Nathan's, a Certificate of Completion will be emailed to the student approximately 2 weeks after the successful completion of both the 30 hours of classroom and at least 6 hours of behind-the wheel training. Since you will need the Certificate of Completion when the student goes to take the road test, please do not schedule the road test any earlier than two weeks after they have successfully completed ALL portions of the class and behind the wheel lessons so that you will have the Certificate in hand. *DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE DAY OF YOUR TEST TO ASK FOR THIS! IF YOU HAVE NOT RECEIVED IT, YOU MUST ASK AT LEAST 72 HR. BEFORE YOUR TEST for us to get it to you and for it to appear in the state system.
The Department of Driver Services does not keep the original Certificate (although you should take it with you), so we encourage you to make copies for them as well as for your insurance company and to use when you file your Georgia income tax to qualify for the $150 credit. If you lose or misplace the original Certificate, we can produce a replacement one for you for a $10 fee.
​

​
5. A parent or guardian must bring you for your road test if you are under the age of 18.
​
6. You must have a learners permit on you and your certificate for the 30/6 hours.
​
7. The DMV will also require you to have the adap certificate, a letter from your school and parent affidavits to get your license along with your certificate of passing the road test.
