Q: Is it possible to fail drivers ed?

A: Yes, but it rarely happens. The final element of driving does include an evaluation on which you must pass. If we feel you have not practiced enough to pass this evaluation, we will suggest that you postpone your final driving lesson until you’ve gotten more practice. By doing this we are able to prevent students from failing the course. However, it is ultimately up to you whether or not to postpone your lessons. If you decide not to, and you don’t pass the driving evaluation, you will have to return and try again.
