Driver Education
This fully narrated supplemental drivers ed program will help will provide first-time drivers a comprehensive understanding of rules of the road, state laws, driving techniques and much more. Although this course does not satisfy your Delaware drivers education requirements, this course is a great way for a first-time driver to get prepared for their upcoming learner's permit test.
This course includes six hours of full driver ed training giving the student a full multimedia learning experience. The student will have access to eight of the premier driver education videos and, finally, the student will test his or her knowledge with three permit practice tests. Once completed, the student will be ready to pass his or her test with flying colors.
Teen drivers are required to complete and pass an approved driver education course. Training and education will help you to improve your skills; as a young driver you lack extensive driving experience. Most driver education courses teach the Drivers Manual in the classroom and on the road.
You must accept the driver education course as a requirement and part of the total process you began when you decided to get your Delaware driver's license. On the way to receiving your Class D operator's license, you will first have a Level One learner's permit.
Approved Driver Education Courses
The Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) approves driver education courses if they meet the state's criteria. You must be sure your driver education course is approved; otherwise, when you have finished you will still need to complete an approved course.
When you pass the course you will be given a Delaware Driver Education Certificate, known as a Blue Certificate, to prove you finished the class.
You can only take a course in another state if you were not a Delaware resident when you took the class. The Department of Education will consider transferring in your out-of-state course if you mail a completion certificate to:
- Education Associate for Driver Education
- Safety and Physical Education
- Townsend Building
- P.O. Box 1402
- Dover, DE 19903
Self-Study
Passing the written test and then the road test is the only way you'll be issued a driver's license. Consider self-study to help enhance your understanding of traffic rules, safety habits, and equipment.
Studying at your own pace lets you spend more time on some topics and less time on others. In general, the more time you spend educating yourself on driving the better prepared you'll be when exam time comes.
The DMV is very concerned with driver safety and that is why driver education is required for drivers 18 years and younger. As a young driver, with little experience, you must take the time to learn as much as you can.
Visualize driving situations so that you might be prepared if a dangerous situation comes along. For example, an animal in the road or a soft shoulder that pulls your wheel off the road. You will also learn to practice planning your trips and inspecting your vehicle before getting behind the wheel.
Driver education and the Drivers Manual will teach you to stay focused and alert; good driving habits will help keep you safe.
