Top Driver Takes Confusion Out of Ohio's New Drivers License Law; Top Driver, Chevrolet and MetLife Auto Raising Industry Standards
    STRONGSVILLE, Ohio, June 30 -- In keeping with its reputation
of revolutionizing driver education, Top Driver, Inc., a New York-based driver
education company today announced it already has programs in place to meet the
new state driving laws which take effect on Wednesday.
    Top Driver, which recently opened a driver education center in
Strongsville, Ohio, combines touch-screen computers, multi-media classroom
training and certified on-road coaching in brand new Chevrolet vehicles.
Among its programs is Top Driver's Road Scholar course which offers 16 hours
of multi-media classroom training.  Top Driver has curriculum in place to
adjust to the state requirement as of  July 1.  Road Scholar also provides 12
hours of intensive on-road coaching which exceeds the state's requirements by
4 hours.

extensive preparation available for both the written and on-road driver's
license exams," said Top Driver co-chairman Dan Davidson.  "Top Driver's
strategic partnership with Chevrolet and MetLife Auto is driven by our shared

fatality and injury rate per 100,000 population.  The number of 16-year-old
deaths has doubled in the past 20 years.
