D.C.-area prices for drivers ed vary by hundreds of dollars

Teenagers might drive as if they own the road, but they have paid significantly different prices for the opportunity.

In Northern Virginia, drivers education courses are offered in most of the public school districts. But while Loudoun County high schoolers will pay up to $300 for a classroom course and 14 hours of behind-the-wheel training, the same regimen in Arlington County costs $620.
