I didn't take driver training in public school or with a private driving school. The Navy had a one-week training for military trucks, so I took that course, even though I didn't even have a license. I was allowed to drive military vehicles on the vacant airfield, that's all. After that, I got the state driver's manual, and bought a used VW Bug convertible, and practiced driving. As soon as the learner permit allowed, I took the test. That's how I got my license. I've been driving for about 33 years, and I've never gotten a ticket.

Hubby taught our daughter how to drive when she was 16. She is 33 now, and she also has a clean driving record.

Hubby took driving lessons at his public high school when he was a teenager. He got lots of speeding tickets when he was young. He liked to drag race when he was younger.

So, I don't think it always matters what kind of driver training you get. The important factor is the maturity of the driver, and how seriously they take the rules of the road.
