Summary of Washington Graduated Licensing Law
(detailed chart bottom of this page) Washington has a three stage licensing process for minors. Learner’s Permit (at least age 15). We recommend our Driver Ed in a Box® to use during the Learner stage. Shows the parent how to teach collision-free driving habits and provides unique teaching tools (mirrors, checklists, videos, audio instruction series, etc.). Intermediate License (ages 16 - 17) Regular License (age 18) The state of Washington does not accept ANY parent taught driver education in lieu of its state mandated driver ed course. You can use the full version of Driver Ed in a Box® if you wait to age 15 1/2 to obtain your permit and age 18 to obtain your regular license.
Teens want to know how to stay out of collisions!
Today’s 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.
Driver Ed in a Box®			Certificate of Completion!
Our product now includes both the Interactive CD-Rom Version and the Textbook Version for one low price. You may use either version to complete the course at your own pace.
*Teens want to know "why"* 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 covered are vehicle ownership (buying, leasing, insuring, and maintaining).
Over 15,000 students have used Driver Ed in a Box®.
		"I have 2 more kids. They'll also use your Driver Ed in a Box!" - Teri Alliston, Parent
	"The program has taught me that my main goal is not just to maneuver the car well but to be a collision-free driver. The Commentary the program taught me to use while driving helps me develop collision-free driving habits. I didn't make the same mistakes over and over because the Commentary let my mom know where I was making the error so we could fix it immediately. Also, the many hours of practice have made good driving techniques into habits. Mastering one area at a time helped me accumulate good driving skills so I was well prepared for the next level." - A.L.B., Student
"I was very reluctant when my daughter asked me to buy this product and teach her to drive. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that I would feel more comfortable because I would know exactly what she has been taught (and what she hadn't) every step of the way when we are together and she is driving. It was time well invested and was a very pleasant experience for both of us." - D.B., Parent
