Driver's Education ~ New Regulations effective September 1, 2007

Effective September 1, 2007, the Registry of Motor Vehicles has developed a new driver education program as a means of standardizing driver education throughout the State. The aim of the new program is to ensure consistency among driver education programs by standardizing the knowledge, skills and ability of each student driver. The new program will consist of :

· 30 hours of classroom instruction for the student driver – this is unchanged .12 hours of on-road instruction with a certified driver education instructor- this is a 6 hour increase in driving time required by student drivers

· 2-3 hour classroom instruction for parents-this is new and mandatory, and will educate parents in the content of driver education curriculum, the junior operator law, the restrictions a junior operating license carries and the driving skills and behaviors their children should be learning.

Parents will be required to log 40 road hours driving with their student.

PLEASE NOTE:
If you are 16 years of age and have your permit before September 1, 2007, you are eligible to complete your “On the Road” training under the old requirements. Call the Community School office to determine whether your child is eligible.
