DRIVER EDUCATION

 

Attention Tennessee parents and teens!  Stop by and visit us in person at an upcoming conference in your area:

What:  MTHEA Conference

When:  May 15-17, 2008

Where:  Tennessee State Fair Grounds

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 Tennessee, 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 Tennessee Driver Manual, will give your teen all the information they need to pass the testing requirements and receive their learner permit at age 15.

 

Driver Ed in a Box® gives you the tools to work with your teen during the permit stage.  Tennessee requires you spend a minimum of 50 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 50 hours Tennessee 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.  All of this is completed during the state required permit time.  Once you have had your permit at least 6 months and you are at least 16 (Tennessee state requirements) 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.

Parent/student comments:

“I liked your section on saving gas. It was cool to hear the different ways that it is effected. I'll make sure to get rid of any excess weight in my truck. This section really got me thinking on how I can save gas and re-fuel less. The way that you gradually get the student on the road and into traffic is great. It's a good system and gives the student enough time and experience to drive on his own." - J.N., Franklin, Tennessee

"Gave me something solid to use towards my child's driver training. Especially liked having all training techniques clear and easy to teach." - Parent, Tullahoma, Tennessee

 

"Excellent. The program stresses being a collision-free driver rather than just learning to manipulate the vehicle. Every part of the program brought out this factor." - G.W., Knoxville, Tennessee

"I had been driving for a little over a year when I took this class. ...I thought I knew everything about driving, but Driver Ed in a Box® helped me realize that I really didn't know that much. This class has changed my whole driving method and I am very glad I took Driver Ed in a Box®. It was a very helpful and useful class." - Student, Nashville, TN
