Twelve 3-hour sessions $165
Classroom driver education analyzes tasks an individual must perform while operating a motor vehicle. The program must include units about alcohol safety, drug abuse awareness, aggressive driving, distracted driving, motorcycle awareness and organ and tissue donation awareness.
No schedule classes may be missed. State required hours of 36 classroom periods and course content must be completed in order to be issued a Certificate of Classroom completion (DEC-1 card).
Students registering for both classroom and behind the wheel must schedule their behind the wheel classes so that a minimum of 10 hours of classroom driver education will be complete before the first behind the wheel class. Otherwise, the student will be transferred to a behind the wheel class that begins later.
The student must be 15 years of age by the first day of classroom driver education. Courses will not meet July 4, 2008.
