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 Missouri 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.
As a teen driver, you'll be required to complete the steps outlined in Missouri's graduated licensing system before earning full driving privileges.
Before Missouri's graduated licensing requirements were implemented, nearly one in three drivers between the ages of 16 and 21 had been involved in at least one auto accident. The new system helps keep young drivers safe by providing an opportunity to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to operate a motor vehicle on the state's roads.
Driver Education Topics
Before you can receive a full driver's license, you'll need to master the following topics:
- Missouri driver's license application and renewal laws
- Meaning of pavement markings, traffic signs, and road signs
- Rules of the road, such as procedures for passing and turning
- Sharing the road with pedestrians or other motorists
- The Missouri point system
- Motor vehicle inspection requirements
- Missouri's financial responsibility requirements for automobile insurance
- Vehicle title and registration procedures
Becoming a Better Driver
Missouri law requires that teens complete 40 hours of supervised driving with a parent, legal guardian, or qualified instructor before being licensed. Consequently, many young drivers believe this practical experience will teach them everything they need to know about how to drive safely. However, classroom education is just as important as hands-on training when it comes to learning how to operate a motor vehicle safely.
To get the knowledge you need to become a better driver, you can review the Missouri Driver Guide. This comprehensive guidebook will help you prepare for the written exam that is necessary to receive an instruction permit. If you are unable to download the manual, you may request a printed copy at your nearest driver's license station.
In addition to carefully studying the Missouri Driver Guide, you may also wish to complete a formal driver's education course. Driver education programs are offered through local schools and private businesses. They discuss all of the topics covered on the driver's license written exam and provide additional behind-the-wheel experience that can make it easier to successfully complete the driving test needed to receive an intermediate license.
