30 I They're rarin, to go! Driver Education Teaches Traffic Safety Students who take driver education may qualify one half year early for their operatoris license securing it at the age of 16 years, one month, and one day, at the earliest. Another benefit for boys taking driving is lower insurance rates. Driving is a one semester course in which stu- dents learn how the engine of the car operates as well as how the car is driven. They study diagrams of how to back into traffic and how to pass a car correctly. Each student has the opportunity to drive one day a week, supervised by instructor Mr. Dennis Blind. The remaining days he prepares his lesson for recitation and test day. A special assign- ment required of each student is the taking of a traffic survey from a street corner vantage point to determine traffic violations committed by ve- hicles or pedestrians. Mr. Dennis Blind, driving instructor, advises novice drivers how to approach an intersection. n,,,n,,ai
