Driving school activities

NACE code 85.53 covers driving school activities, which play a crucial role in ensuring safe and responsible driving practices across the broader transportation and logistics sectors. As the primary providers of driver education and training, driving schools are essential for equipping individuals with the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to navigate roads and highways safely. This industry's impact extends beyond just the driving population, as well-trained drivers contribute to the overall efficiency and safety of the transportation infrastructure, benefiting businesses, commuters, and society as a whole.

Driving schools typically employ a combination of classroom-based instruction and practical, behind-the-wheel training to prepare students for their driving examinations. Classroom sessions cover topics such as traffic rules and regulations, vehicle operation, and defensive driving techniques. The practical training component involves supervised driving sessions, where instructors guide students through various driving scenarios and provide feedback to help them develop their skills.

The primary inputs required for driving school activities include qualified and experienced instructors, suitable vehicles for training purposes (often compact or mid-sized cars), and educational materials such as textbooks, multimedia resources, and driving simulators. Driving schools may also require administrative staff to handle enrollment, scheduling, and other operational tasks. Additionally, they must comply with various regulatory requirements, such as obtaining the necessary licenses and permits to operate within their respective jurisdictions.
