Top Driver's 18th Driver Education Center Opens in Indianapolis, in Further Expansion of National Driver Education Company

    INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 23 -- Top Driver, the leader in driver
education, today announced the opening of a new training facility in the
Chapel Hill Plaza, Indianapolis, IN -- its second in the state and 18th
nationwide.  Following last week's center opening in Waterbury, CT and last
month's acquisition of the Columbus, Ohio-based American Cities Driving
School, this recent opening is the latest indication that the Company is
accelerating its plans to become the country's first national driver education
and training facility.
    "Last year's acquisition of the Tom Sneva School of Safe Driving was the
catalyst of our statewide saturation plan," said Sebastian Giordano, Top
Driver chief operating officer.  "Its merger into our Greenwood Park location
has been a tremendous success and led to this further expansion into the
Indianapolis market."
    Top Driver employs state-of-the-art technology in touch-screen computer
training, multimedia classroom instruction and one-on-one coaching in late
model vehicles.  It is the first to deliver standardized curriculum with
automobile product and service information, auto insurance services, driving
accessories and Department of Motor Vehicle services.
