| Teens want to know how to stay out of collisions!
|
| Todays teens do not just want their license;
they want to be good collision-free drivers. They know the risks.
Virtually all have friends who got a license and were involved in
a collision in the first four weeks. Most teens have lost classmates
due to fatal collisions. |

"Some of the rules established
by Driver Ed in a Box really helped me establish some good habits
and break other ones that weren't so good. It helped me understand
the forward pivot point, reverse pivot point, and to target well ahead
at all times. I also learned to SMOG, be a more conscious driver,
check the mirrors every 8 seconds, and most of all, be more cautious.
Thanks to some of these rules and tips, and practicing them, I think
I'm becoming a collision-free driver. Although I may not be a perfect
driver, my goal is to be collision-free, and I think I'm on my way
to obtaining that goal." - C.B., Dakota City, Nebraska |

"I can sum it up in two words,
"More Confident". I really like driving, so learning to
drive rural and city roads wasnt really too bad. But frankly,
I was scared to death to drive on highways, freeways, and interstates.
As I learned to drive on them with the program, I began to get more
comfortable with faster driving. After just a few weeks of driving
on highways, I feel much more confident and I'm not scared to do it
anymore. Driver Ed in a Box is a great program. Ive really
enjoyed it and I've learned a lot. Thanks for helping me be a collision
free driver." - Student, Hickman, Nebraska |
