ABOUT THE TAGGART’S TEAM
All Taggart’s Driving School instructors complete an extensive pre-employment interview prior to being accepted into our training program. The training program for instructors consists of three weeks of classroom and field training, so they are well versed and knowledgeable about teaching methods, traffic laws, rules and regulations, in addition to defensive driving techniques.

After the completion of our initial training program, each instructor must pass an examination administered by the Georgia Department of Driver Services. The Department also completes a thorough background check, which includes submission of fingerprints and photos to the G.B.I. and F.B.I. All instructors must have and maintain a clean driving record.
Taggart’s Driving School is the only school in the country to have a training video for each of our approximately 20 lessons that an instructor must learn before teaching for our company. These videos provide an excellent source for learning the techniques necessary to become an outstanding instructor. They are also used as a review to ensure that Taggart’s instructors remain “on track” with our high teaching standards and methods.
Careful selection of our company’s instructors is extremely important and we are always seeking individuals of good character, sound judgment, direction of purpose and the ability to work with and enjoy people.
Our training vehicles are well maintained and are equipped with the exclusive two-steering wheel, two-brake and two-gas pedal system. This two-steering wheel system allows for ease of learning. Demonstration by our instructors results in a reduced number of lessons necessary for our students to become safe and competent defensive drivers.
Our students are covered by a basic $1,000,000 automobile liability policy (state law requires only a minimum of $100,000) and we also carry a $2,000,000 umbrella policy.
Taggart’s training vehicles feature safety top signs, especially designed for our school. They provide additional visual notice to other drivers when our student is slowing down, stopping or changing lanes. Other drivers are much more understanding when they realize a student is operating our training vehicle.
All of Taggart’s Driving Schools are licensed by the Georgia Department of Driver Services to teach the six-hour Driver Improvement / Defensive Driving Program.
