stay out of collisions! |
| Todays teens do not just want their license;

a collision in the first four weeks. Most teens have lost classmates
due to fatal collisions. |

the things you ask them to do will work. |
When you complete the full course
you get a Certificate of Completion.
Take this to your insurance agent. It varies state by state and by
insurance company, but you may receive an insurance discount. |
| Using the full course your teen will learn
why each step is important while learning the collision-free
HABITS that
make you a better driver. The full course also includes a section
on Social & Consumer Issues. This includes how alcohol and drugs
as well as emotions and attitude affect driving performance. Also

"The entire Driver Ed in a Box
kit was most valuable. It made everything very easy to follow and
step by step." - Gracie Palacios, Alamo, Texas |
| |
"Our son breezes through everything
academic and is naive enough to still believe good grades translates
into good at everything. Without the course he would have ended up
in an accident. I am sure of it. Thank you again." - Mary
Weseman, Allen, Texas |
|
| "I learned many interesting things
during this driving program. My in-vehicle experience was a fun and
pleasant one. The commentary was a great idea. It allowed my parents
to know what was going through my head at that point during driving.
It effectively gave my parents the ability to correct my mistakes
and make me a better driver. I believe that I am evolving into a collision
free driver. I understand all the risks and consequences. These will
make me be even more careful than I was going to be before."
- Paul Hovis, Arlington, Texas |
