Driver Ed in a Box® will satisfy all of your teenager's driver education needs and at the same time teach them to become a safe, collision-free driver. In Connecticut, you do not need to take any other driver education course (either through the School system or from a commercial school).
The first 6 hours of the classroom included in our course, combined with the Connecticut Driver Manual, will give your teen all the information they need to take their examination and receive their Learner's License at age 16. Note: Effective August 1, 2008, the Connecticut DMV is consolidating the learner’s permit test and the driver’s license knowledge test into a comprehensive knowledge test consisting of 25 questions covering all the information contained in the Connecticut Driver Manual. This test will be administered prior to issuing any Learner’s Permit.
The Driver Ed in a Box program gives you the tools to master the skills of each section of driving (we break it down to Parking lot, Neighborhood, Two lane and four lane Light Traffic, freeway, Rural and Heavy traffic). With our checklist and audio tapes it allows the student to master the skills required in each area at their own pace before moving on to the next section. All of this is completed during the state required permit time and more than satisfies the 40 hours of Behind the Wheel (BTW) Connecticut requires. Once you have had your permit a minimum of 180 days and are at least 16 ½ (Connecticut state requirements) you can go to the local driver license examiner and take your road test.
Home-trained applicants must also show evidence of completing an eight-hour course on safe driving practices, offered through a licensed commercial or secondary driving school that includes a minimum of four hours on the:
- nature and the medical, biological and physiological effects of alcohol and drugs and their impact on the operator of a motor vehicle,
- dangers associated with the operation of a motor vehicle after the consumption of alcohol or drug abuse,
- problems of alcohol and drug abuse and the penalties for alcohol and drug-related motor vehicle violations.
Student drivers should contact their local secondary school or commercial driving school for the approved course.
Also, parents or legal guardians are required to complete a two-hour class concerning teen driving laws.
The home instructor must sign a statement at the time of the test which states that the applicant has obtained a learner's permit and successfully completed at least 22 hours of course study. Driver Ed in a Box® fully satisfies this requirement.
