Driver Training Makes Roads Safer !
Driver education is
designed to teach novice drivers the basic information and skills for lifelong safe
driving habits. It is taught by professionals who are trained to provide the
academic and in-car activities. This is a logical approach
based on the following facts:
In a national study,
drivers who are 16, 17, 18 and 19 that have taken a driver education course
plus 50 hours of practice are proven to be safer than those teens who do not take a professional driving course but do
practice driving for 100 hours. The professionally taught teens show as much as
a 21 percent reduction in car crashes, a 53 percent lower rate of license
suspensions and a 57 percent lower rate of traffic violations (convictions).
