How to Start Your Adult Driving Lessons (3 Simple Steps)

Before getting behind the wheel, Texas law requires a specific process. Here is how to get on the road with us:

The Course (Ages 18+)

If you are above 18 years old, you must complete the 6-Hour Adult Driver Education (ADE) course first. We offer this course online or in-person.

The Permit (Required)

You must visit the DPS with your documents to get your Texas Learner License (B-Restriction). You must have this physical card (or the temporary paper copy) to take driving lessons.

The Driving

Once you have your permit, call us to book your private adult driving lessons. We start at your pace, no pressure, no rushing.

Who Are These Adult Driving Lessons For

Our program is designed exclusively for adults, including those who:

Have never driven before

Why Arlington Adults Choose Us (Especially Nervous Drivers)

Our adult behind the wheel driving lessons follow a Safety First progression. We know that forcing a beginner onto a highway is dangerous for everyone.

We start in empty parking lots and quiet residential streets, only moving to busy roads when you have full control of the vehicle.

Phase 1: Vehicle Control (Low Stress)

Understanding mirrors, blind spots, and vehicle width
Smooth braking, acceleration, and steering
Left and right turns in quiet neighborhoods
Parking: Parallel parking (required for the test) and stall parking

Phase 2: Traffic & Confidence

Lane changes and positioning on surface streets
Navigating intersections and traffic lights
Right-of-way rules at 4-way stops
Service road entry and exit (at your comfort level)

Phase 3: Test Preparation

Mock Road Test: We practice the exact maneuvers DPS examiners look for.
Test-Specific Skills: Reversing in a straight line, parallel parking, and sudden stops.
We do NOT force beginners onto highways. Merging onto I-20 or Highway 360 is an advanced skill that is not part of the standard Texas Road Test.

I enrolled in the Adult Driving Course at Arlington Driving Academy after putting off getting my license for years. The lessons were clear and easy to follow. I took my road test with them and passed on my first attempt. A week later, I had my license in hand. The whole process was smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend them for adults who want to get it done right.

John R. Arlington, TX

As an adult learner, I was nervous about the road test, but my instructor Sohel at Arlington Driving Academy made me feel confident from day one. The adult course prepared me really well, and I passed my driving test on the first try. Thanks to their guidance, I now have my license and can finally drive on my own. Best decision I made.

Maria L. Grand Prairie, TX

I took the Adult Driving Course at Arlington Driving Academy and couldn’t be happier with the experience. Everything was explained in a way that made sense, even for someone with no prior driving experience. I passed my road test in one attempt and got my license without any hassle. The staff is professional, patient, and very supportive.”

David K. Mansfield, TX

Arlington Driving Academy helped me go from zero confidence to a licensed driver. Their adult course was straightforward and practical, and the road test felt easy because of how well they prepared me. I passed on my first try and walked out knowing I was ready to drive safely. If you’re an adult looking to get your license, this is the place to go.
