Top Driver is one of the few Illinois driving schools approved as a Cooperative Road Test provider, which means eligible teen students who complete a Top Driver teen driver education program can take their official Secretary of State road test with their Top Driver instructor at the Western Springs location — instead of waiting weeks for an appointment at a Driver Services facility. To qualify for the Cooperative Road Test, students must complete all required Behind-The-Wheel hours, pass an in-vehicle pre-test evaluation, and meet the standard Illinois SoS requirements for permit hold time and supervised practice driving (50 hours, including 10 at night).

Every Top Driver instructor at Western Springs is trained in the Driver Intelligence™ curriculum and undergoes regular performance evaluations. All training vehicles are equipped with dashcams, providing students, parents, and instructors with a record of every Behind-The-Wheel session.
