FIVE Questions to consider in choosing driver education instructor.

1. Can this instructor explain in detail the goals of the instruction process?
2. What is the experience and educational background of the instructor?
3. Is the instructor a Licensed and Approved Third Party Tester (license testing)?
4. Does the student get 6 actual hours of driving individually or do they have two or three other students in the car and are given credit for driving when they are riding around while the other students are driving?
5. Price of the Course.  What is more important to you; your child's safety and getting what you pay for, or price?  

Classroom - Behind the wheel (BTW)

SC STATE LAW REQUIRES 15 AND 16 YEAR OLD STUDENTS TO COMPLETE 8 HOURS CLASSROOM AND 6 HOURS BEHIND THE WHEEL INSTRUCTION AND PASS THE KNOWLEDGE PERMIT TEST.  AFTER HAVING THE PERMIT FOR 180 DAYS AND HAVING COMPLETED  THE REQUIRED 8 HOUR CLASSROOM AND 6 HOUR DRIVING INSTRUCTION; THEY CAN TEST FOR THE SC CONDITIONAL PROVISIONAL LICENSE THAT THEY MUST DRIVE ON FOR ONE YEAR! (OFTEN REFERRED TO AS A DAY LICENSE)
*NOTE:  Students involved in church or school activities that require them to travel after the restricted driving times may request a waiver at age 16.

   The Eight Hours of classroom instruction is usually done in two four hour sessions from 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM days school is out or school system holidays.  Class size is limited to six students!
 The SIX HOURS BTW (usually 3 sessions of 2 hrs. behind the wheel) instruction is individual instruction, scheduled on the students free time after school or on weekends or holidays!  I will pick the student up either at school or at home or a place the parent designates.

THINK ABOUT THIS:

How Important is this Driving course?  It is extremely important that your child get this educational opportunity correct!  Your Child is Important!  I am an experienced professional Traffic Safety Educator trained to teach the course in that manner.  (Teaching since 1970)

Accurate Dr. Ed. (INSTRUCTION THOUGHTS)

ACCURATE DR ED EMPHASIZES: Let your mind drive the vehicle! Let your eyes Scan and search for everything that is moving into or toward your PATH OF TRAVEL! This requires Thought control, Visual attention and Mental discipline!  All are learned.  Keep in mind that proper practice makes perfect; plus lack of practice or poor practice makes permanent!
 Parents please emphasize 1/2 Second Eye scanning skills between intersecting roads!  NOTE: (especially before making position or speed changes) 
Rear view mirror, Rule of thumb, any change speed or position is preceded by 1/2 second rear view mirror checks!
-Units on:  Time, Space, Zone Management, traffic laws, distractions, risk management, visual search patterns, texting, alcohol & drugs, interstate driving skills are also taught.
-I teach (S-S)IPDE Driving System of traffic thought management. (See - Search) Identify, Predict, Decide, Execute)
****Indecision is not an option! 
*PRACTICE THESE SKILLS!!
*How can one make decisions in driving without one's eyes?
YOU CAN NOT.
*What do your eyes do when you are walking, running or driving?
Search for safe places for your pace of movement.
*At a traffic light or stop sign, what does your brain and eyes do?
Answer: Look search for signs, markings, traffic for the brain to make proper decisions on anticipating your movement.
       It is important to use proper foot acceleration skills for control.  This only happens when the eyes aim high on the intended path of travel!  Once one completes the turn and on one's path of travel the eyes must move to check REAR VIEW MIRROR.  One must develop this eye check EVERY time one changes speed or direction.  This teaches environmental awareness skills for maximum control.   PRACTICE THESE SKILLS!!
