Driver Education: CLASSROOM
Introduction
During the course, students will acquire essential knowledge, skills, and experiences to perform reduced-risk driving in a variety of traffic environments. Students must apply concepts behind a desk to the realities of driving behind the wheel. Our curriculum establishes the minimum requirements needed for teens to acquire the fundamentals of driving. Emphasis is placed on relating visual search skills, space management, and balanced vehicle movement to risk-reducing driving strategies. Significant attention is given to risk awareness, driver alertness, responsible actions, positive interactions with other roadway users, and the physical and psychological conditions that affect driver performance.
