It should be
emphasized that successful completion of a
driver education program does not and should not
imply that your child is a safe, accomplished
driver. During the course, student is instructed
in the basic skills necessary for the safe
operation of motor vehicle. However, as with any
skills, it is only with repeated practice that
the skill is developed and perfected. Your
continued work with your son/daughter is
essential to further development of sound
driving skills. It is recommended that you
provide your child with a minimum of forty
five
hours of additional supervised
behind-the-wheel driving conducted before
program completion. As a parent, you must make
the ultimate decision to determine if your child
is ready to handle the responsibility of
operating a motor vehicle.

Dr. Amos
E. Neyhart taught one of the first high
school driver education courses in 1933.
He taught the course free, in his own
car.
During his acceptance of
the Richard Kaywood Award for
outstanding contributions to driver
education,
Dr.Neyhart told about the early days of
teaching drivers. With his usual sense
of humor, he recalled that before his
class was given, people learned to drive
from car salesmen. As Dr.Neyhart
related, "Salesmen taught you to start,
steer, and stop. The buyer would get
moving, steering, and the salesman would
jump out."

Directional signals are not optional
equipment on our vehicles. Being a
defensive driver also means being a
courteous driver. Show
other drivers your intentions by using
directional signals whenever your turn
or change lanes.
