It just said 6 hours of a drivers ed class, so that’s a Saturday or maybe a couple hours a day during a week.

Driver’s Ed needs to be brought back! There is an epidemic of people not using their turn signals and cutting people off in traffic!

ALL drivers should be required to pass a driver ed class before receiving their license. DL should be the same protections (restrictions) as hunting license. Must pass a course before license is issued, and just like CC license, must reciprocate with other states. Far too many drivers these days don’t understand the basics such as four-way stops or flashing traffic lights. More people own cars than firearms, and more deaths result from autos. Time to recognize the more glaring dangers in our everyday lives.

In the 90s we had to take a drivers education class for a semester, it was required than they cut them all out for budget reasons. Just imagine the lives that could have been saved by keeping those classes in HS. I blame the state for prioritizing rainday funds for those cuts.

So when will the school district have drivers education again?
Or is that not going to happen. I mean the test is all don’t online the course is a joke and we wonder why insurance is so high!
