Driver Education

As teens set out on their journey of independence, they need a solid foundation of knowledge, skills, and plans to reduce their risk behind-the-wheel. Quality driver education is a critical element in developing safe driving attitudes, improving hazard recognition, and managing visibility, time, and space in traffic.

Research has shown people who start driving before graduating high school are less likely to be involved in an accident. This is largely attributed to the fact that young drivers in Illinois must successfully complete a driver education program in order to receive a license.  Driving teaches teens a lot about responsibility. They are responsible for the vehicle and the safety of other passengers. When students complete a driver education program, they learn just how important this responsibility is for everyone on the road.
