Top Driver Acquires B-Safe Driving School; Ohio Expansion Continues with Latest Acquisition
    CLEVELAND, Sept. 9 -- Top Driver, the nation's fastest
growing driver education company, announced today that it has purchased the
B-Safe Driving School, a three-center chain, based in Westlake, Ohio.
Following the recent purchase of the Columbus, Ohio-based American Cities
Driving School, this most recent acquisition is the latest indication that the
Company is rapidly accelerating its plans to further saturate the Ohio market.
    According to Sebastian Giordano, Top Driver chief operating officer,
"B-Safe Driving School gives Top Driver a well-recognized name in the greater
Cleveland area and plays an important role in our statewide saturation plan
since it is a natural extension of our presence in Strongsville."
    "We saw the impact Top Driver had on the market with its Strongsville
location and the American Cities acquisition.  With their rapid expansion well
underway in Ohio and elsewhere, I immediately knew we wanted to be a part of
it," said Marilyn Osko, B-Safe owner.
    Top Driver plans to open training centers nationwide employing the latest
technology in touch-screen computer training, multimedia classroom instruction
and one-on-one training in late model vehicles.  It is the first to deliver
standardized curriculum with automobile product and service information, auto
insurance services and Department of Motor Vehicle services.
