Driving Lessons Offered In Joplin

It’s a scary transition for parents as their kids become young adults and they start to drive. The Jasper County Sheriff’s Office has been bombarded with calls over the years asking if a deputy can teach their kids how to drive. While the department doesn’t provide that service, the Alliance of Southwest Missouri now does.

“A lot of parents don’t realize the number one killer for kids between the ages of 16 and 25 is car accidents and car collisions.”

That’s Mark Box, the Safe Kids Coordinator for the Alliance of Southwest Missouri. He’s the guy that wants to teach your kids to drive the correct way through a new driver’s education program offered through the Alliance.

Each lesson will be 60 minutes. All lessons begin and end at The Alliance office located at 1601 South Wall Avenue in Joplin.

Modules Offered:

The complete program consists of total of 6 modules. Each module has been created to increase in complexity as student’s master each driving skill.

Below are highlights of each level. Each level will include more instruction than what is listed.
