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.
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®.
  "The entire Driver Ed in a Box kit was most valuable. It made everything very easy to follow and step by step." - Gracie Palacios, Alamo, Texas
  "Our son breezes through everything academic and is naive enough to still believe good grades translates into good at everything. Without the course he would have ended up in an accident. I am sure of it. Thank you again." - Mary Weseman, Allen, Texas  
"I learned many interesting things during this driving program. My in-vehicle experience was a fun and pleasant one. The commentary was a great idea. It allowed my parents to know what was going through my head at that point during driving. It effectively gave my parents the ability to correct my mistakes and make me a better driver. I believe that I am evolving into a collision free driver. I understand all the risks and consequences. These will make me be even more careful than I was going to be before." - Paul Hovis, Arlington, Texas
