| Summary of Louisiana Graduated Licensing Law

(detailed chart bottom of this page) Louisiana

| 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 |
| |
"My dad and I listened to the
tapes and watched several of the beginning videos, and my dad explained
the terminology used before starting in the parking lot. Once I began
driving, I would say what actions I was doing, such as 'Clear left,
clear right, clear left' or "Mirror.' This system of driver Commenting
was probably the most helpful part of the program, both because it
made me conscious of whether or not I was doing the right things and
it told my dad exactly what I was thinking so that he would know if
I was aware of the hazards or if he needed to alert me." - Matt
Ashbaugh, Student |
|
| "I felt Driver Ed in a Box
covered all aspects of driving. I have taught a teen to drive before
without any additional material. The teen I trained with Driver Ed
in a Box is much better prepared." - Kathryn Engen,
Parent |
