| Summary of Iowa Graduated Licensing Law |
(detailed chart bottom of this page)
Iowa has a three stage licensing process for minors.
- Instruction Permit (at least age 14). Must hold for minimum
6 months without convictions, complete driver education course
including 3 to 6 hours behind-the-wheel training, and log 20 hours
supervised practice, including 2 hours at night. We recommend
our Driver Ed in a Box® - to use during the Learner stage.
Shows the parent how to teach collision-free driving habits and
provides unique teaching tools (mirrors, checklists, videos, audio
instruction series, etc.).
- Intermediate License (at least 16). Must have met Permit requirements,
log 10 hours supervised practice, including 2 hours at night,
and must hold accident and collision free for minimum 12 months.
Restrictions apply.
- Full License (at least 17). Must have met Intermediate License
requirements.

| Teens want to know how to stay out of collisions!
|
| Todays teens do not just want their license;
they want to be good collision-free drivers. They know the risks.
Virtually all have friends who got a license and were involved in
a collision in the first four weeks. Most teens have lost classmates
due to fatal collisions. |
| Driver Ed in a Box® |
Certificate
of Completion! |
Our product now includes both the Interactive CD-Rom Version and the Textbook Version for one low price. You may use either version to complete the course at your own pace.
|
| Teens want to know "why"
the things you ask them to do will work. |
When you complete the full course
you get a Certificate of Completion.
Take this to your insurance agent. It varies state by state and by
insurance company, but you may receive an insurance discount. |
| Using the full course your teen will learn
why each step is important while learning the collision-free
HABITS that
make you a better driver. The full course also includes a section
on Social & Consumer Issues. This includes how alcohol and drugs
as well as emotions and attitude affect driving performance. Also
covered are vehicle ownership (buying, leasing, insuring, and maintaining). |
| Over 15,000
students have used Driver Ed in a Box®. |

"We were well pleased with every
facet of the materials. It was well worth the money." - Pat
Barnett, Parent |

"I greatly appreciated the
fact that I was not required to attempt anything I was not comfortable
doing." - Joel Mark Anderson, Student |
|
| "The incremental approach encouraged
me to take it slowly and only introduce new BTW concepts as my teen
was ready for them." - Terry Watson, Parent |
