Drivers' Education Beware the Student Driver! Nearly every student looks forward to the day he will receive his license, and the Drivers' Education course prepares the student for that day. This class instructs the student in driving skills, parts of the car and their functions, traffic rules and regulations, and develops a sense of social responsibility. The course provides both in-class and in-the-car instruction and aims at keeping traffic emergencies and accidents to a minimum.
