TOGETHER TO GIVE NEW DRIVERS COLLISION-FREE DRIVING SKILLS |
Parents and Teens across America are taking the responsibility
of learning to drive personally. Teens want to become safe,
collision-free drivers and they believe they can keep from becoming
an accident statistic.
There are several reports regarding national statistics in all
categories of teen drivers. What they all have in common is
their results show a high risk of being involved in an accident
during the first year of driving. There are several factors
which cause these terrible statistics: immaturity resulting
in risky driving practices, inexperience in recognizing and
responding to hazards, and young passengers in the vehicle creating
distractions a young driver is not ready to handle.
Enough already, you know the problems and are here visiting
our site to find a solution. You know the minimal requirements
by your state are not adequate for all new drivers. In many
states the requirements include a permit or leaner stage, usually
a minimum of 6 months. It is during this stage you have the
opportunity to make a difference, to gain confidence both as
a teen driver and as a concerned parent. |

| "It was an extremely informative and helpful program.
The instructions were very clear and detailed. The tapes were
very useful. The step-by-step coaching was very helpful. They
helped remove much of the anxiety in teaching my teen how to
drive. Gave me many tips on how to be a more effective teacher
and a better driver. They were also entertaining!" –
Annie Ballatore, Houston, Texas |

| "Excellent. Busy parents like myself need the assistance
of your materials. Also they teach the parent to be an effective
instructor. Audiotapes very useful. Just because we care does
not make us parents good instructors. Telling us how to plan
& communicate correctly is a big help." – J.S.,
Arlington, Texas |
|
| THE PARENT/TEEN ADVANTAGE |
You both care. You both have knowledge of your family schedule
and can fit in all the time needed to master the various phases
of becoming a new driver. And you both will agree on when you
are ready to move through the various driving areas. |
|
| THE PARENT ADVANTAGE |
You will be comfortable knowing your teens driving ability.
You will know someone who really cares and was not on a time
frame to complete the job and get to the next student, taught
your teen. You will become a better driver yourself by relearning
and using techniques you may have forgotten over the years. |

| "My in-vehicle training experience
was awesome! I loved getting to know how to drive. Also, learning
how to maneuver and cooperate with others on the road. The most
helpful parts of this program were the videos. Actually "seeing"
the correct way to drive and what to do in specific situations
was really helpful. I felt so excited when I realized that I
was a courteous driver." – B.B., Pasadena,

|
| THE TEEN ADVANTAGE |
You will be confident with your driving ability. You will demonstrate
collision free habits when you drive because they have become
just that - habits. You will know you have learned much more
than many of your friends who only took a traditional driving
school - their total experience behind the wheel only enabled
them to move a car and merely touched on the techniques in collision-free
driving you have learned from the Driver Ed In A Box®
course. |

| WHICH
PRODUCT BEST FITS MY NEEDS? |
Primarily it depends on your state and your goal. We suggest
you Select
Your State if you have any questions in regards to what
is required in your state.
We recommend either the Interactive
version or the Text Book version.
The full course includes:
Classroom Portion:
- 350 page text book (included in its entire format on the
Interactive CD)
- The Student Workbook (has the tests and helpful hints
for the student), the Parent Companion with the text version
also has the answers to the test. On the Interactive CD
the tests are embedded in the program, the student takes
the quiz or test and the computer tells them if correct.
The parent simply goes to the back file log to check the
time spent on the chapter or section and the outcome of
the test.
- Training Video includes 17 short videos, 15 of these videos
from the perspective of the parent and teen actually working
together in the vehicle. Helps both parent and teen in communicating
and goal setting over the course of the program. The videos
integrate seamlessly with the classroom and behind the wheel
portions.
Behind the Wheel portion:
- The Parent Companion, spiral bound book with all the tools
to assist in-vehicle as you train your new driver in the
habits of collision-free driving! (The version for the textbook
course has the answers for the tests, the version with the
interactive CD does not need them). You get guidelines on
proceeding through the course, checklists, driving logs,
coaching tips, diagrams and a glossary of commentary terms.
- The 3 Audio CDs giving helpful hints on each training
phase. These Audio CDs guide you through the in-car lessons
from beginning to end!
- Set of 2 Training Mirrors which provide you a rear view
and a clear view of the teenager's eyes!

- If your state requires Driver Education
but does not approve a parent taught course, you are probably aware the
traditional Driver Education programs are set with demanding
schedules and minimal actual behind the wheel experience.
In most states there is usually less than 8 hours of actual
behind the wheel driving required for the program to be
approved. Usually there is another 6 to 8 hours of observing
another driver included in the in car experience. The state
knows this is inadequate in most cases and that is the reason
most states have a required permit time.
- If your state has no Driver Education
requirement (there are several states which do not require
Driver Education), we recommend Driver
Ed In A Box®. The first Classroom portion
will help prepare you for the written exam you will need
to pass to get your permit, secondly it will give the teen
driver the thought process behind the instructions for the
behind the wheel training. If you feel your teen driver
knows the laws and has studied your state’s driver
handbook then the Behind The Wheel course may be all you
need.
Please call us at 1-800-562-6405 if we can be of any further
assistance.
