	NEW YORK DRIVER EDUCATION
New York requires that all drivers under the age of 18 take a local driver education course either through the public school system, if offered, or through an available commercial driving school. At this time there is NO provision for a parent taught course. Teen drivers may apply for an instruction permit at the age of 16, with the approval of a parent or legal guardian. Driver Ed in a Box® gives you the tools to work with your teen during the permit stage. New York requires you spend a minimum of 30 hours supervising your teen driver during the permit time. Our course will guide you past the handling skills learned in traditional driver education, giving you the tools you need to teach the skills your teen driver needs to become a safe, collision-free driver. By combining the 30 hours New York requires with the tools you receive in Driver Ed in a Box®, you will help your teen build the habits of safe, collision-free driving (click here to access our Product Description page). Driver Ed in a Box® creates habits that are proven to be effective (see Survey). 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 CDs, it allows the student to master the skills required in each area at their own pace before moving on to the next section. Once you have had your permit for at least 6 months, you can go to the local driver license examiner and take your road test.
Parents using Driver Ed in a Box® to work directly with their teen and supervise their progress ensures the safest teen drivers on the road. For more information about New York's driver license laws, please visit:

Parent/student comments: "The Driver Ed in a Box® was a very effective program. It took me from being an ignorant passenger to being an educated, well-prepared, responsible driver. I now have a much greater respect for my parents for being able to deal with my sister and me and drive safely at the same time." - C.B., Student "Driver Ed in a Box® was very easy to follow and not boring to the teen. It provided great one-on-one driver training and gave much more instruction time than commercial school." - S.J., Parent "Having constant quizzes on material covered helped me know my teen really read and comprehended what she read." - D.D., Hammond, New York
