A nationwide study shows public high schools without standard driver education cost young men and their families millions yearly due to higher insurance premiums. Course costs per pupil range from 40 to 80 dollars, while those licensed without training face about 400 to 151 dollars in extra liability insurance before age 18.
The piece argues that driver education costs are outweighed by broad tax base savings and injury prevention. It asserts even nonparents may benefit financially and through fewer accidents, urging school boards to weigh economics alongside safety gains. It stresses that standard driver education reduces costs for families and young drivers.
