Driver Ed Gains Ground In High Schools Nationwide
The Highway Safety Act of 1966 pushes states to establish highway safety and driver education programs. A survey shows about 83% of high schools have driver education, with 98% of those meeting or exceeding standards. The usual course is the 30 and 60 program, 30 hours classroom and six hours driving. Driver ed aims to teach safe mechanical and perceptual car handling and rule adoption. Insurance discounts exist for completers, and actuarial data suggest fewer accidents. Some districts cut driver education with budget tightening, though it is seen as cost effective for safety and fuel savings. Experts from Doron Precision Systems and the AAA stress its value and practicality.
