🚗 FREE Driver’s Ed may be available for qualifying Wisconsin students through the Wisconsin Driver Education Grant!

The next application round opens Monday, July 13 at 9:00 a.m. A limited number of grants are available each quarter, so we want to make sure families in our community know about this opportunity.

Learning to drive opens doors—to school, work, activities, independence, and so much more.

To help, we’ve created two completely free guides on our website:

📘 Wisconsin Driver Education Grant Guide
Learn who may qualify, how the application works, and what to do after approval.

📗 How to Get Your Driver’s License in Wisconsin
A simple step-by-step guide through the entire licensing process.

We hope these resources help your family. And if your student receives a state grant, we’d be honored if you chose Drive Wise Driving School for your driver’s education.

Flash flooding can occur anywhere. Never attempt to cross a water covered road – just 12 inches of moving water can sweep a vehicle off the road.

Distracted driving is involved in more than 9,000 crashes every year in Wisconsin. Cell phone use is all too common, and it distracts you in three different ways:

👀Takes your eyes off the road
🤳Takes your hands off the wheel
🧠Takes your mind off of driving

Every time you get behind the wheel, eliminate distractions and stay focused on what’s ahead.

Great tips! Stay safe and warm out there!

PREPARE FOR THE COLD: Schools and other organizations are closing tomorrow due to the dangerously cold temperatures. If you must travel, we want you to be safe on the roads:

✅ Keep your tires properly inflated – tire pressure can decrease by about 1 PSI for every 10 degrees the outside air temperature drops.
✅ Keep an emergency kit in your vehicle with extra food and warm clothing.
✅ Keep your fuel tank at least half-full to prevent fuel lines from freezing and to provide extra fuel in case you get stranded.
✅ If you slide off the road or get stranded, stay buckled up in your vehicle and call for help. Getting out of your vehicle can be dangerous, especially in freezing temperatures.
