Heads up, Driving School Owners!..
Every year fewer and fewer privately owned driving schools survive in the world. The prospect of opening new driving schools becomes increasingly difficult. If this trend is not stopped, the private driving school sector will all but disappear. Private sector driving school owners need to band together immediately into a powerful association that will lobby for their common interests.

We propose to develop Driving School Network Association (DSNA), a not-for-profit action organization dedicated to helping private-sector driver education in United States and Canada. We offer the very best programs that money can buy. To implement professional-level classroom instruction, we will develop state-of-the-art computer assistance tools. We will equip our members with all the support and technical know they will need to offer world-class, standardized driver education in world-and do it more effectively, efficiently and cost consciously.

To educate meaningfully today's young drivers, we will implement live instruction with computer and the Internet tools. We will feature 24-hour interactive instruction and testing; comprehensive, accurate record keeping; and we'll upgrade dramatically the safe-driving statistics of those novice drivers who are instructed in the private sector.

Never forget that even though you private-sector instructors are already the best and brightest at providing this high level of quality, you really don't get recognition or credit for it by the governmental agencies.

We are the best! Why is Massachusetts in denial?
Sadly, the statistics show that nearly one of every two novice teenage drivers in USA is involved in an accident during the first year of driving--a somber indication that something is seriously amiss somewhere.

The facts are plain! Public Schools simply can't afford to deliver quality driver education-and don't. We needs to realize the relevance of the for profit-making driver education industry. The government is presently in denial that commercial driving schools provide driver education that's demonstrably and significantly superior to public school programs.

It's a fact that most novice teenage drivers either have no driver education at all or-if they do-they receive it through clearly inferior public sector programs. The Motor Vehicles in essence awards the bulk of licenses to uneducated and undereducated kids, who then create more accidents, causing insurance companies to increase premiums.

It is imperative we act now. Right now the private sector driver education industry produces the most competent, most responsible drivers with remarkably superior driving records. It's high time for Massachusetts to recognize our contributions, the quality of our efforts, and the impressive, needed savings passed on to automobile insurers and government that are brought about by our professionalism. We need to put in place at once the system that will contrast our statistics against the pubic sector's.

We need your opinions, help, support--and subscription. To this end. The peril is real, and the solution is building this powerful association in short order.

Together we will win the struggle, survive, and prosper-while doing good for the People.
