| Summary of Kansas Graduated Licensing Law |
(detailed chart bottom of this page) Kansas
has a three stage licensing process for minors.
- Instruction Permit (at least age 14) 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.).
- Restricted License (age 15) - driver education course
required.
- Non-restricted License (ages 16-17) - driver education
course not required.
|
| 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®. |

"This program is very good
in explaining the steps for each maneuver. It gradually builds from
the beginner's lessons up to the skilled, and gives some situations
that one might meet up with in their driving. I enjoyed the Driver
Ed in a Box curriculum." - Julia Shore, Parent |
| |
"The audio (series is) most
valuable for providing explanations of how to do in-vehicle training,
something I couldn't have gotten by just obtaining a textbook."
- Celeste Boudreaux, Parent |
|
| "The best thing about all the
in-vehicle training was the layout of all the progressing steps and
every day it was something different. It was good to have my mom with
me to tell me what to do and what not to do. There were plenty of
situations that needed more attention than what the textbook could
cover, so it was good to learn with my parent. I feel like I have
become a success at being a collision-free driver." - Avery
Clemmons, Student |
