Drivers Ed in TexasPage Overview
Driver's Education in Texas
Driver's education is an invaluable resource for anybody who wants to be a smarter, safer, and more responsible driver. Driver's Ed teaches the importance of traffic safety and road awareness and it can also be an excellent refresher for those who are more seasoned drivers.
The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) requires the completion of Driver's Ed in order to obtain your first driver's license if you're 24 years old or younger.
Texas Driver's Ed Eligibility Requirements
Once you turn 14 years old, you can start the classroom phase of a TX driver's education course, but you'll have to wait until you're 15 years old to apply for your learner's permit.
New to Texas?
If you're new to Texas and already took teen Driver's Ed at your school in your previous state, it may be possible to transfer those credits to Texas.
You'll need a letter from your previous school written on their letterhead that confirms the amount of hours you completed in the classroom and behind the wheel.
If you have any questions about making a transfer, please call (512) 424-2600.Don't Forget an Online Practice Test
An ideal compliment to your Driver's Ed course is preparing for a Texas DPS written exam with an online practice test. These industry-leading study helpers have been developed from content sourced directly from the TX Driver Handbook. It's like having the answers before you take the test!
About Your Texas Driver's Ed Course
In Texas, Driver's Ed is mandatory if you are a first-time driver 24 years old and younger. Depending on your age, you will have different requirements for Driver's Ed.
Under 18 Years Old
If you're under 18 years old, your Driver's Ed course must include:
- At least 32 hours of classroom instruction. This must be completed over at least 16 days.
- 44 hours of behind-the-wheel training. These hours include:
- 7 hours of in-car observation.
- 10 hours of night driving.
NOTE: The required 32 hours of classroom instruction may vary to include up to 56 hours, depending on your course provider.
18 to 24 Years Old
If you're 18 to 24 years old, your Driver's Ed course must include:
- 6 hours of classroom instruction (can be completed online).
- 44 hours of behind-the-wheel training; not required if enrolled in an adult Driver's Ed course. These hours include:
- 7 hours of in-car observation.
- 10 hours of night driving.
Types of Driver's Ed in Texas
In Texas, there are driver's education courses for both teens and adults.
Teen Driver's Ed
Teen Driver's Ed can be taken:
- Through a traditional driver's education course offered by a licensed driver training school (this can be online or in person).
- At your public school.
- At home through parent-taught driver education (PTDE).
- You must submit a completed Request for a Parent Taught Driver Education (PTDE) Packet (Form DL-92) to the Texas DPS and have a qualified member act as your instructor.
Your qualified instructor must:
- Have held a valid driver license with no revocations, suspension or violations for at least 3 years.
- Have less than 6 points on their driver record.
- Have never been convicted of or received a sentence for DUI, DWI, or a criminally negligent homicide.
- Not be disabled due to a mental illness.
NOTE: If your instructor has lived outside of Texas during any part of the last 3 years, they must provide the TX DMV with a certified abstract driver record from their previous state when you apply for a driver's license.
Adult Driver's Ed
If you're between 18 to 24 years old, you have the choice between one of the following Texas driver's education options:
- Adult Driver's Ed classroom instruction (can also be taken online).
- Traditional driver's education, which includes behind-the-wheel training.
See " About Your Driver's Ed Course" above for details on each of these options.
After Driver's Ed – What's Next?
Once you complete your Texas Driver's Ed course, your course provider will provide you with a Certificate of Completion (Form DE-964) that you'll need to bring to a Texas DPS office when you apply for your learner's permit.
You'll have to wait until you turn 15 years old to apply for your TX learner's permit. For more information, refer to our Drivers Permits in Texas page.

If you've ever wanted a full-on Corvette race car to show people how it's done at the track, you may want to hurry over to eBay. There is only a little more than two days left in an auction of a turnkey track package including a 1999 C5 Corvette race car and a 24-foot enclosed Pace trailer. The $55,000 asking price includes both, but the seller is willing to sell them separately—$52,000 for the car and $3,000 for the trailer. However, he is not willing to sell the trailer before the car is sold.
Earlier this week the 1956 Corvette SR-2 that just went on the market for $6.885 Million made a promotional stop in Scottsdale, AZ. The former racer was on display at Scottsdale Sport and Classic Autocars for viewing before the start of the major auctions and it was the guest of honor at a reception help by Corvette Mike Vietro who is helping in the sale of the car.
Our friend Chris Draper, contributor to BadBoyVettes.com and admin of the Corvette Info Center website visited the car and has graciously allowed us to share these photos of the SR-2 from Scottsdale.
Have you ever heard of a 1957 Corvette racer called "Lil Twister"?
If you have, Bob, the new owner, would love to talk to you and find out the history of his mysterious Corvette.
Bob posted photos on BarnFinds.com
, along with the little bit of information he's been able to discern from what remains of the paint on his '57.
One of the most famous Corvettes of all time is being offered for the first time ever to the general public. The noted 1956 SR-2 is being made available through Corvette Mike. The car started life as VIN #2522 and went straight to the GM Styling Studio from the St. Louis plant under Shop Order 90090. There, under the watchful eyes of Harley Earl and Zora Arkus Duntov it began its transformation into the car we know today.
A total of 3 1956 SR-2 Corvettes were built. This VIN 2522 was the first. The 2nd one was built for Bill Mitchell, and the 3rd – a show car – went to GM President Red Curtice.
The team at Mecum Auctions recently announced that the "Black Corvette L88 once owned by Tony DeLorenzo will cross the block at Mecum!"
If you closely follow the blue chip Corvette market you probably think they were talking about the black 1967 L88 Corvette raced by Tony DeLorenzo and sold by Mecum in 2011. That car was the first documented Corvette L88 ever produced and it sold for $1.25M to Terry Michaelis whose intent was to return the car to its race delivery.
But Mecum's recent announcement is not about that car, it is announcing the sale of another important L88, DeLorenzo's triple black 1969 personal driver which will be offered in Mecum's Dallas auction September 3rd through 6th.
The Mecum Dallas auction has become one of the premier auctions in the world for offering important and historic Chevrolet Corvettes. This year's event is no exception and in addition to DeLorenzo's L88 has several other excellent Corvettes crossing the block from blue chip collectibles to restomods.
Here's a 1967 Corvette that could have been perfectly content to be a show car.
It was a showroom gem when longtime Corvette enthusiast Roberto Berdiel of San Juan, Puerto Rico bought it.
But that wasn't his ultimate vision for the car. He just wanted it to serve as the foundation for a wild C2 racer, and, wow, what a job Roberto and his team did, so good in fact that the Stingray was recently chosen as The BLOCK Feature Car.
The 1963 Vintage Split-Window Corvette racer known as '711′ will be heading to Mecum's Houston Auction in April. Although the Corvette was raced in Southern California in the heyday of sports car racing, the Riverside Red Sting Ray Coupe may be better known for its appearance in the the Elvis Presley movie, Viva Las Vegas.
We've already talked about some of the high end Corvettes being offered at the January 2014 auctions including a 1967 L88 coupe, the George Barris Asteroid Corvette, and The Rebel L88 racer. Potentially the most significant Corvette up for grabs next month is The Real McCoy 1956 racer. If it wasn't for this C1, the aforementioned 'vettes may not have even existed.
Calling our friends in the Great White North to be on the lookout for this blue C5 Corvette Z06 racer that was stolen from the driveway of the owner's parents house in Waterloo, Ontario. The Corvette was parked on a trailer and attached to a truck and the thieves took all three last Friday night/Saturday morning.

Throughout the sixty years of Corvette history there are relatively few cars with the background, impressive credentials and significance of the renowned #57 1969 L88 racecar known as "Rebel". The Rebel was so famous and celebrated that Revell® offered a replica model kit of the car in 1:24 scale. On Saturday afternoon, January 18, 2014, Barrett-Jackson will auction the legendary racecar during their annual Scottsdale auction extravaganza.

Rules and Preferences
There were fervent protests from readers reacting to "Old Superstitions Die Hard." The article established that the relative pronoun that refers to people as well as to things and has done so for centuries.
Never was an essay more aptly named.
"I don't care what all of your quoted sources say," wrote a fiery businesswoman. "Executive-level communications candidates who use 'that' do not endear themselves to this veteran headhunter." One can understand her passion—the raw anger and frustration we all feel when a principle we've lived by for years is exposed as an old wives' tale.
Meanwhile, we'll leave it to you to decide whether those responsible for the following quotations are English-challenged hacks …
- "I am he that walks unseen." —J.R.R. Tolkien
- "I am he that aches with amorous love." —Walt Whitman
- "… children that belonged to a man I didn't even know." —Mark Twain
- "A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother." —King James I, the Bible, Proverbs 18:24
Another reader took issue with Kingsley Amis's preference for the man that I spoke to rather than the man whom I spoke to—but for a different reason: "I would have written 'the man to whom I spoke.' "
The gentleman who wrote this believes that prepositions should not end sentences. It's another of the myths about English that just won't die, right up there with "Do not split an infinitive" and "Do not begin a sentence with And." Amis set a trap, and this person fell into it. There is no living English scholar who will defend "Do not end a sentence with a preposition," yet the superstition is still believed by an alarming number of intelligent people.
Here is what the snarky Mr. Amis himself had to say about it: "This is one of those fancied prohibitions dear to ignorant snobs … It is natural and harmless in English to use a preposition to end a sentence with." Amis goes on to quote H.W. Fowler, the dean of English scholars, who wrote, "The power of saying People worth talking to instead of People with whom it is worth while to talk is not one to be lightly surrendered."
We are all entitled to our preferences—even our prejudices—but declaring them rules everyone else must live by is crossing a line.

Old Superstitions Die Hard
People that try hard usually succeed. Is that sentence grammatical? Some nitpickers say the relative pronoun that should never refer to humans. Here is an interesting piece of mail that arrived recently:
Please review your "rule" about the use of "who" and "that" when referring to persons. The use of "that" when referring to people is very poor English and, unfortunately, has become today's vernacular. I wonder if you could review your work here, so that students are not confused. I teach graduate students and I do not permit the distinctions you are making re this particular word usage. I cannot refer my students to your site for that reason.
The writer went on to say that using that instead of who, while "common today in vernacular English," is "still eschewed in academic writing." If we doubted this, we were advised to consult an online site called The Purdue Owl.
That is what we did.
According to the Owl, one may substitute that for who in informal English, but who is "more common in formal written English" and is "preferred"—although the Owl does not say who prefers it. Look at the wording: "more common" and "preferred." The Owl is conceding that even in formal usage, that sometimes replaces who.
We language fussbudgets like to demonize "today's vernacular," but it won't work in this case. Many authorities past and present would beg to differ with the Owl, and with our correspondent's assertion that that for who is "very poor English." The Chicago Manual of Style—the publishing industry's bible—says, "That refers to a person, animal, or thing." In the 1990s, author and literary critic Kingsley Amis wrote that he found the man that I spoke to preferable to the man whom I spoke to. In the eighties, English scholar John B. Bremner wrote "that may refer to persons," with no mention of formal or informal. In the seventies, the renowned editor Theodore M. Bernstein wrote, "You may say either 'the boy that lives next door' or 'the boy who lives next door.' " In the mid-sixties—half a century ago—an eleventh-grade textbook called Warriner's English Grammar and Composition said, "That may be used to refer to either persons or things."
Great essayists, novelists, and poets have been substituting that for who for centuries. A famous quotation from the Gospel of John begins: "He that is without sin among you …"
Many words have been used to describe the Bible, but it's a safe bet that "informal" is not one of them.

Essential and Nonessential Elements, Part III
See what you can infer from this sentence: When my three siblings and I entered the dark house, my brother, Marky, got scared. A careful reader would know instantly that the author had one brother and two sisters.
Why? Because of the commas surrounding Marky, which tell us that the brother's name is nonessential. The commas enable the writer to say my only brother, whose name is Marky in three words.
Suppose the writer had entered the house with three brothers. In that case, my brother got scared would not tell us enough. With more than one brother involved, the sentence would have to say my brother Marky got scared—no commas. The absence of commas makes the brother's name an essentialelement, and it is essential because without Marky we wouldn't know which brother the writer meant.
Along the same lines: Mark Twain published his beloved book, "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer," in 1876. The commas must go; the book's title is essential. It is undeniable that Twain wrote more than one beloved book. Without commas the sentence would say what it means: that Twain wrote many beloved books, and Tom Sawyer is one of them. If the book's title were nonessential, then Mark Twain published his beloved book in 1876 would not be such an inadequate sentence.
Here's a comma gaffe many inexperienced writers make: The film features the world-famous actor, Robert De Niro. Delete the comma fencing off Robert De Niro. It mistakenly tells the reader that the actor's name is nonessential—but the sentence makes little sense without De Niro's name in it.
The terms wife and husband always require commas in sentences like this: My wife, Marie, enjoyed meeting your husband, Lucas. This is because we can have only one spouse at a time, so their first names are nonessential, supplementary information.
Note: The following sentence is an exception to the wife-husband rule above: Cuthbert Simms and wife Marie sailed to the Bahamas last weekend. No comma is called for because in that sentence wife is not a noun, but rather an adjective modifying Marie.
The rule for grandmother and grandfather is the opposite of the wife-husband rule. This sentence is correct without commas: My grandmother Bess thinks your grandfather Horace is a twit. Everyone has two biological grandmothers and two biological grandfathers, so the names Bess and Horace are essential information.
Punctuation proficiency is crucial to serious writing. Don't take the humble little comma for granted.

Essential and Nonessential Elements, Part II
Here is the rule again, in case you missed it: Essential elements in a sentence should not be enclosed in commas. Nonessential elements in a sentence should be enclosed by commas.
Last time, we applied the rule to clauses. Today we'll look at essential and nonessential phrases (a phrase is two or more related words with no subject and verb).
Let's start with this sentence: The guy seated next to me wouldn't stop talking. There are no commas because seated next to me is an essential phrase. It identifies which "guy" we mean. Without it we'd have only The guy wouldn't stop talking, which doesn't tell us much.
But consider this: Ezra Blung, the guy seated next to me, wouldn't stop talking. Because we now know the man's name, the guy seated next to me becomes nonessential. As the commas signify, the phrase contains supplementary information, and the sentence would have the same meaning without it.
Commas are easy for some to overlook, but an omitted or out-of-place comma can change a sentence's meaning. Here is an example: Complete the job, as directed. The comma after job tells us that the phrase as directed is nonessential. The sentence says that you have been directed to do a job, and implies that how you do it is up to you. But what if we took out the comma: Complete the job as directed. Now as directed is essential, and the sentence is saying something more severe: Do the work, and make sure you do it the way you were told to do it.
Remember that essential and nonessential are technical terms. Some authorities prefer restrictive and nonrestrictive, perhaps to avoid the sort of confusion that may result from analyzing a sentence like this: A comma, which never ends a sentence, signals a pause.
In that example, which never ends a sentence is nonessential, and the crux of the sentence is, A comma signals a pause. That is true, but a period also signals a pause. Perhaps the key difference between commas and periods is that a comma never ends a sentence.
So how could such an essential fact be termed "nonessential" in a sentence that describes a comma? It's because we are using grammatical terminology: nonessential refers to sentence structure only.
Information essential to human understanding is often found in phrases and clauses that are technically nonessential, as seen in the comma sentence above. But that sentence would be improved by making its less important fact nonessential: A comma, which signals a pause, never ends a sentence.
Memo to fledgling writers: If you find that you've disclosed an essential fact in a technically nonessential phrase or clause, you may want to write a new sentence.

Essential, but Is It Important?
Commas are tricky little devils. Anyone who wants to use them correctly will at some point encounter the terms essential and nonessential. The rule is that so-called essential elements should not be enclosed in commas. Conversely, nonessential elements require commas fore and aft.
By "elements" we mean clauses, phrases, and even single words. Today we will focus on the difference between essential and nonessential clauses (a clause always contains a subject and verb).
Consider this sentence: People who stay out in the sun too long get a bad case of sunburn. Note the lack of commas. That's because the clause who stay out in the sun too long is essential. Without it the sentence is silly: People get a bad case of sunburn.
Look at what happens if we fence off the essential clause with commas: People, who stay out in the sun too long, get a bad case of sunburn. The commas isolate people from the clause that explains which people we are talking about. That's as misguided as writing The book, I'm reading, is good.
Now look at this sentence: Barton Blain, who once threw a punch at the mayor, ate corn flakes for breakfast. Unlike people in the previous paragraph, Barton Blain is already specifically identified. That makes the clause who once threw a punch at the mayor nonessential, requiring commas.
Do not be distracted by this usage of essential and nonessential. That Blain assaulted an elected official is certainly surprising, even alarming, but it is not essential in the grammatical sense; it is added information, and its removal would not alter the sentence's basic point: that Blain had corn flakes for breakfast. Maybe the writer was being grimly humorous, or was trying to shock us, or—who knows? Our only concern here is that the writer correctly used commas to set off a nonessential clause.
So anyone who would master comma usage must realize that the terms essential and nonessential have nothing to do with values or ethics and everything to do with making a sentence say what its author intends.

It is always rewarding when the markets confirm your point of view. By positioning based upon your research, such affirmation makes prices move in our favor and delivers strong gains to subscribers of my weekly newsletter EPIC Insights.
An example is my short position in the CurrencyShares British Pound Sterling Trust (NYSEARCA:FXB), a proxy for the British pound. As the euro-zone remains engulfed by unfolding drama, the U.S. dollar (USD) has now finished higher nine of the past 13 weeks. While investors concern themselves with determining whether a rallying USD is negatively correlated to stocks and commodities (at times it is and at others not), most are fixated on second derivative movements.
I have never been a believer in mining for explanations and will not start now. From the onset of this rally, I have consistently recommended shorting the British pound as a means to profit, and profit we have done. From an initial short at 163, I have amassed a large position at an average cost of 159.57.
Pleased with this trade, the pound has now surpassed our initial price target of 150 (red line). I have always advocated pushing a trade to its full potential, but with the market in our favor we must also watch for potential reversals.
The pound has been lower eight of the past nine days and is now approaching oversold levels. On the last three occasions when the pound was oversold (black arrows), the currency briefly rallied before resuming its descent. If the past is prologue, we should watch for a move higher over the coming days. The question is if the rally meets resistance at the former support level of 150 or the declining trend line (blue line) at 153.
Given the persistent weakness and fiscal problems facing Britain, I expect the pound to ultimately move lower, but will remain prudent. We have patiently amassed gains in this position and I will not surrender them. Expecting an oversold, I recommend buying to cover half of the short position of FXB as this week's technical trade.

Share Apps
Have you ever wanted to share an app with a friend but you didn't have internet access for your friend to download it immediately? Or perhaps you have an friend with a new Android phone that has yet to discover the full potential of their phone and hasn't installed any cool apps yet?
Whatever your specific reason, simply open Share Apps, click one app or long click to select multiple apps and share them via for example Bluetooth to send the Android APK installer file directly to your friends' device. Your friend can instantly install the app from their device no internet access needed.
By sharing a selected app or even all your apps to Dropbox, Google Drive, Box or any other Android cloud storage service, you are in fact backing up all your apps to the cloud. Why waste space backing up your apps to your SD Card? To restore an app simply open your cloud storage providers app, for example Dropbox, and download the app back to your SD Card and then install it again from there.
Share Apps works without any special root access that may be required by competing apps.
Additional one click features:
* Open app
* Show app detail screen (where you can move apps to SD Card, clear cache etc)
* Open app in Google Play Market
* Uninstall app
This free version of the app is supported by advertising.
If you prefer an advertisement free experience or otherwise wish to support an independent application developer, please download the Share App Premium version also available on the Google Play store.

Alvin and the Chipmunks - Chipwrecked - Blu-Ray DVD Review
By: Luigi Bastardo Blogcritics.org Reviews
Published on: 3/30/2012 10:10 PM
|Did you ever wish that, while you were sitting there watching a really awful and terribly crappy movie, that — for some unexplained but beneficial reason — the movie you were bearing witness to was suddenly besieged and subsequently overruled by a completely different movie? As I sat there, torturing my adolescent children and myself with Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked, the latest in a series of mind-numbingly appalling kiddie films that nobody ever asked for in the first place, I couldn't help but imagine several sundry scenarios that would have ultimately improved this stupid movie....read the full review

Eyelash Begonia?
A friend gave me three leaf cuttings from a plant she didn't really know the name of. I planted the leaves and did some research to see if I can find out what plant species it is. Maybe an Eyelash Begonia?
The thing is (I'm fairly new to Begonia's), my plant has grown so much from the original three leaves. It is growing over the edge of its pot and I'm not sure if I should repot it?
Any advice will be most appreciated. Thank You So Much.
Close enough. Anything with bowerae in it is supposed to be "eyelash" begonia (little hairs along the edges) and this looks like it has a lot of bowerae in its lineage.
There are a ton of hybrids with lots of names. 'Kit Kat' and 'Tiger Kitten' are two very popular ones. Yours reminds me of 'Chantilly Lace'.
Here is a begonia I got that has the name of 'Dottie's Eyelashes'. It is medium sized leaves and has some "eyelashes" but don't see a lot of bowerae in it.

they will flourish. Good luck to this charming young kid. Hope he brings some attention to the plight of his people while he reaches for the starts.
If selected for publication, it will appear as soon as possible on Haaretz.com.
Tens of thousands of joyous fans turned out on Tuesday to welcome "Arab Idol" Mohammed Assaf on his return to the Gaza Strip and the song contest winner appealed for harmony among divided Palestinians.
The fresh-faced 22-year-old from humble roots in a Gaza refugee camp has endeared millions of voting television viewers with his Palestinian patriotic anthems and folk songs.
Police from the Islamist Hamas movement that controls Gaza could barely hold back the crowds that waited for the grey-suited Assaf outside the gate of the territory's Rafah border crossing with Egypt.
His car drove through a sea of cheering Palestinians, some of whom climbed electricity poles and took to rooftops for a better glimpse of the young star, who was declared the winner of the popular pan-Arab competition in Beirut on Saturday.
"Thanks everyone, without you I would have never won," Assaf said at a news conference after his arrival.
He returned to a Palestinian enclave where political rifts run deep. Hamas, which won a 2006 parliamentary election, seized control of Gaza from forces loyal to Western-backed President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah party in 2007.
"I call for an end to division and I will continue to call for unity in all speeches I make," Assaf said.
Signaling its tacit endorsement of the singer, Hamas - which frowns on non-Islamic songs and the Western-style glitz of TV talent shows - sent officials from the Gaza-based Ministry of Culture to the border crossing to welcome him.
Fatah officials were also there, and many in the crowd waved the mainstream movement's yellow flags.
After his victory, Assaf was named by the United Nations as its first youth ambassador to Palestinian refugee camps in the territories and in neighboring countries. He is expected to visit the West Bank to perform.
"We won hope," said Abu Khalil, a 65-year-old Gaza resident. "I hope political leaders can learn something from Assaf - that love unites people, not hatred."

Aliy Zirkle Rounds Out The Top Five
A large crowd of fans lining Front Street cheered Aliy into the chute and to her 15th Iditarod finish midday Wednesday.
A large crowd of fans lining Front Street cheered Aliy into the chute and to her 15th Iditarod finish midday Wednesday.
There are few certainties in the Iditarod — even in the eleventh hour — but it's probable we'll see a championship finish in Nome around 4am Wednesday morning.
Aliy Zirkle led Iditarod 2015 out of Koyukuk late Saturday morning, followed into the evening by Aaron Burmeister, Jeff King, Jessie Royer, and Dallas and Mitch Seavey. These frontrunners jockeyed for lead on the 154 mile run to the coast.
Burmeister, first into Unalakleet, is comfortable on the coast. "I felt right at home when the wind started blowing," said the Nome musher. According to Race Marshall Mark Nordman, mushers should arrive Tuesday.
On the Yukon this week, some of Iditarod's top competitors were striving to keep competitive by keeping the focus on dog care.
Brent Sass and the Allen Moore / Aliy Zirkle "A" team are fresh from the Yukon Quest, certain contenders for the 2015 Iditarod.
Nome musher Rolland Trowbridge and Iditarod veteran Ray Redington, Jr. will be among the rookies running the 2015 Yukon Quest from Whitehorse to Fairbanks.
A recap of Sunday night's Iditarod finisher's banquet, with a photo gallery and banquet-address audio from Dallas Seavey, Aliy Zirkle, and Mitch Seavey.
Congratulations to Dallas Seavey, your 2014 Iditarod champion! After eight days of a race defined by exceptional challenges and unprecedented speed, Iditarod 42's champion came to…
Prompted by fierce winds heavily buffering the Safety and Cape Nome regions, a major shakeup in the top standings of Iditarod 42 began Monday night and…

Just as ACB has done for agencies such as the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard and many other customers requiring safety critical applications, we used our experience, technology, and engineering expertise to build a superior line of vessel that will change the paradigm in the maritime protection industry. The new LEVs are available with multiple engine configurations in 23 ft., 26 ft. or 30 ft. - in a full cabin or center console model.
The responsive 50+ mph vessels are single operator friendly and offer mission critical safety features such as 360 degree unobstructed visibility, strategically placed lighting designed to eliminate night blinding, integrated dry storage lockers, dedicated Mobile Data Link System storage, and an air/foam hybrid fendering system.
The first two LEVs were recently delivered to the Port of Miami/Dade, FL – purchased with funding from the Department of Homeland Security. These vessels will be operated by marine patrol officers of the Florida Wildlife Conservation Commission to provide marine security 24/7 for the port. The Florida Wildlife Conservation Commission is the second largest maritime law enforcement organization in the world. The boats will protect cruise ships, freightliners and all other traffic in one of the busiest ports in the world, giving ACB worldwide visibility.
