THE TEXTBOOK
Driver Ed in a Box – The Textbook is a 362+
page textbook. The textbook is available in electronic format
or paper format. This textbook is written by nationally recognized
driver training expert, Patrick L.
Barrett, and specifically
designed to start new drivers on the way to a lifetime of
collision-free driving. The textbook and support materials
are fully integrated, each piece working with all other parts
of the course to reinforce the concept of habit building.
This textbook lays the groundwork for the student to understand
the concepts that will be taught and practiced in the vehicle.
The textbook is divided into 3 sections:
Section I. Before you Drive covers basic rules
of the road, traffic laws, right-of-way situations and course
background.
Section II. Techniques of Collision-Free Driving
contains the practical elements of collision-free driving
to take you from point A to point B safely and easily. You
will progress from the parking lot to the neighborhood, to
light traffic, to heavy traffic. Also covered are road testing,
adverse conditions, and handling emergencies. This section
matches up with what you are learning on the videos, and goes right along with what you are actually experiencing as
you work behind-the-wheel with your parent/coach. The Check
Lists and Coaching Tips in the Parent Companion
that your parent/coach is using also match the textbook.
Section III. Social & Consumer Issues covers the social,
economic and environmental aspects of driving. This also includes
how alcohol (and other drugs), emotions and attitude affect
driving performance. In addition, this section includes vehicle ownership (buying,
leasing, insuring and maintaining a vehicle), and environmental
issues.
Item 101 comes with the textbook in electronic format integrated into the 3 Interactive CD-ROMs.
