“Statistics show that nationwide, each year, 42% of new drivers will be involved in a collision in their first year behind the wheel and 37% in their second year.”
You will be your teen's primary driving coach!
Arcade will provide your teen with the best classroom, online and behind the wheel instruction but the supervised driving practice they do with you will give them the experience they need to succeed!
Our parent care courses will help you practice with them in a systematic way and keep them aware even after they start driving on their own. To take advantage of these great resources choose a package that includes the parent care courses.
Powered by the Coaching New Drivers learning platform, the Parent Care Program from Arcade Drivers School has been designed to ensure that your new driver receives the most complete driver education available on the market today!
The program consists of two online courses developed in association with Mike Pehl, a 30 year veteran crash investigator and driving educator, to address the top danger zones causing novice driver collisions as determined by the Centers for Disease Control (cdc.gov). These danger zones include:
- Driver Inexperience
- Distracted Driving
- Speeding
- Drowsy Driving
- Driving with Other Teen Passengers
- Impaired Driving
- Driving at Night
- Seat Belts and Airbags
The first course, Coaching from the Passenger Seat will walk you through the proper steps in supervising your new driver from the first discussion all the way to licensing day and beyond. Mike's engaging manner and straight forward instruction make it easy for you and your teen to enjoy this course and the process.
The second course, Danger Zone Training for the new driver uses spaced-learning techniques for maximum retention of important information. Your teen will receive a new online lesson each month dealing with the top causes of novice driver collisions and how to avoid being involved in one. Keep them engaged and aware with this informational and valuable course.
This program will definitely help you, their primary driving coach, prepare them for a lifetime of safe, responsible and confident driving before and after they receive their license!

Failure To Yield Course
Wisconsin law provides the "rules of the road" for proper highway etiquette.
FAILURE TO YIELD RIGHT OF WAY - LOGIN (Online Course)
It's The Law
As of August 1, 2012, any person who receives a citation and is convicted for failure to yield under Wisconsin statute 346.18, will be required to attend a failure to yield right-of-way course. This course can also be completed online!
Read below for information on conditions of suspension and how we can help!
Operating Privileges
If the violation results in bodily harm, great bodily harm or death to another, the operating privilege will be suspended:
- violation results in bodily harm = 2 month suspension
- violation results in great bodily harm = 3 month suspension
- violation results in death to another person = 9 month suspension
Reinstatement of Privileges
If your operating privilege is suspended, you will not be eligible to reinstate those privileges until you have successfully completed the failure to yield right-of-way course. This course has been designed to reacquaint you with vehicle right-of-way rules and provide awareness of keeping motorcyclists, pedestrians and bicyclists safe.
Arcade Drivers School offers the required 2-hour course at an affordable price. After you have successfully completed the failure to yield right-of-way course:
