At Superdrivers our mission is to make the streets and highways safer for all by providing our customers with the tools and training they need to be confident and conscientious operators of a motor vehicle.

Ray_AnnaSuperdrivers LLC was established in 2000 by Arvada native Raymond Jones.
For over ten years Superdrivers has been teaching the residents of Arvada and greater Jefferson County how to drive. Raymond was working for another driving school when he decided to start his own driving school business.
 
Superdrivers Services
Superdrivers
offers a wide range of driver's education services to teens, adults and seniors. All Superdriver's programs and associates are certified by the State of Colorado Division of Motor Vehicles. We can help anyone and everyone to be a better driver!
We operate a fleet of four, specially equipped, two and four-door passenger sedans, consisting of three automatic and one manual transmission vehicle.
 
All Superdrivers vehicles are equipped with instructor-side, extended rearview mirrors as well as dual-brake safety controls approved by the State of Colorado Division of Motor Vehicles. In short, each vehicle is equipped with rearview mirrors and braking controls for the student AND the instructor.
 
Superdrivers offers a personal instruction program consisting of a home study course equivalent to a traditional classroom curriculum. Also included is a minimum of 6-hours of behind-the-wheel, on-the-road training in one of our vehicles.
For our driving sessions, we will pick-up and drop-off at the customer's residence.
 
The on-the-road training sessions are divided into five 1 to 1&1/2 hour lessons.
 
We focus on 5 areas in these lessons.
1. Residential Streets and large Urban Streets
2. Rural Roads and Mountain Roads
3. Freeways/Highways
4. Downtown Denver Driving
5. Operation of a Manual Transmission
 
Upon successful completion of the entire course Superdrivers will issue a Graduation Certificate to the student, which may be shown to an insurance company and/or the DMV.
 
Superdrivers is also certified by the State of Colorado Division of Motor Vehicles to offer driver's license testing services. We can administer both the written driver's license test and the road test. Driver's license testing is offered separately as well as being included with our driver's education programs.

City Council Notes
Last week, the City Council discussed the Property maintenance Code.  Many Realtors, Contractors and Home Owners were present to discuss the issues in the Code.  Section 107.5 of the Property Maintenance Code is going to be repealed.  Section 107.5 has a tendency to interfere with the sale of property.
For homes built prior to July 1, 1998 finished basements will not be required to have egress windows.
City Code Enforcement stated "If we find a violation of one thing, we do not go in and make the home owner bring every violation that they find up to 2006 standards."
The City Staff will prepare a written policy on their levels of enforcement regarding building codes and permits.
