DRVN 2.0.0

Who is responsible for teaching your teen to drive? Typically, it is the parent. To enhance the effectiveness of supervised driving practice, the DRVN app offers a structured approach to guiding this important process. The app facilitates tracking driving hours, organizing session content, and reinforcing skill development through interactive checks with your teen.

DRVN provides:

• A guided and organized driving curriculum
• A comprehensive selection of driving skills across various environments
• Progress monitoring with constructive feedback

WHY CHOOSE DRVN?

Although most states mandate a minimum of 50 hours of supervised driving, including night-time practice, resources designed to assist parents often require advance planning for each session. DRVN distinguishes itself as the only application that supports parents throughout the supervised practice period by offering an accessible and straightforward instructional guide. This allows parents and teens to focus on driving without the need for extensive preparation beforehand.

USING DRVN:

1. Pair With a Driver or Coach
2. Initiate a Drive
3. Complete Skills and Provide Feedback

In step one, parents pair with their teen driver, or teens pair with their parent coach. During each driving session initiated from the passenger seat, the app offers recommended skills for structured instruction. If unsure how to teach a particular skill, users can select it for detailed guidance. These instructions are delivered in clear, brief segments optimized for in-car learning.

After completing a drive, parents are prompted to review which skills were addressed and rate their teen's performance. Successful skills are marked as complete, while those needing reinforcement remain open for further practice.

FEATURES:

• Time Tracking: The app automatically records total driving hours, including overnight sessions, ensuring compliance with state requirements such as the common 50-hour minimum.
• Diverse Skill Coverage: Beyond basic maneuvers like turns and stops, the app offers a graded sequence of skills from fundamental to advanced, simplifying comprehensive instruction without additional research.
• Concise Coaching Prompts: The app provides quick, effective cues to assist parents in explaining complex skills like parallel parking succinctly and confidently.
• Progress Monitoring: The app tracks skill mastery over time, prompting revisits as necessary to ensure proficiency before considering a skill mastered.
• Driver Feedback: When a skill is attempted but not fully demonstrated, helpful insights are provided to foster better understanding and improvement.
• Knowledge Checks: Post-session questions assess the driver’s understanding of skills practiced, reinforcing learning and confidence building.

DRVN complements in-class driver education and behind-the-wheel training provided by certified instructors during the learner’s permit stage. Its purpose is to empower parents with tools and guidance for coaching their teens effectively during this period. However, it does not replace state-mandated educational requirements. Please consult your local BMV or licensing authority for specific guidance related to obtaining a driver’s license.
