Summary of Rhode Island Graduated Licensing Law
(detailed chart bottom of this page)
Rhode Island has a three stage licensing process for minors.
  1. Limited Instruction Permit (at least age 16) 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.).
  2. Limited Provisional License (ages 16 ˝ - 17)
  3. Full Operator’s License (at least age 17 ˝ )
Teens want to know how to stay out of collisions!
Today’s 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.  In this state, the complete course does not replace the state mandated driver education course.  Use Driver Ed in a Box® as a supplement.

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®.
  "Driver Ed in a Box put into words what we were having hard time explaining to our teen." - Dorothy Henderson, Parent
  "I really enjoyed your driving program. Thank you for giving me an opportunity to drive collision free. I have learned much throughout the past 6 months while taking this course. I really liked being able to be taught how to drive by my father. I felt more comfortable." - Zachary Henry, Student  
"I would highly recommend this to anyone that wants to provide quality drivers ed to their teen. I feel safer with my son I taught than the one that attended another's program." - J.H., Parent
