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 Mississippi 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.
You won't be hard pressed to find a driver education program near you; there are more than 300 schools statewide, involving more than 400 teachers, dedicated to teaching you the ropes.
As a student, you may enroll in the school program any time during your high school career, 9th through 12th grades, as long as you are at least 14 years of age at the time of enrollment.
The school curriculum provides a minimum of 30 hours of classroom instruction: six hours of behind-the-wheel training and 12 hours of observation.
Once you are enrolled in this program, you can apply for your learner's permit, valid for the duration of the class. But before you make big plans to take the permit exam, you should study the Driver's Manual distributed by the state. A great resource for driver's education, this free manual can be found at your local driver's license office.
It is also wise to pick up a new copy of the manual and study it every few years as laws change. Everyone benefits from a refresher course.
Seat Belts
Mississippi is striving to educate young drivers about the safety of seat belt use. Motor vehicle crashes are the number one cause of death for one- to 34-year-olds in Mississippi.
A recent study by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration shows there were 69 Mississippi teen deaths when the teens were not buckled, compared to only 17 deaths when seat belts were used. This same study shows there were 438 child deaths where the driver failed to buckle in the child or use a child seat; 167 deaths took place where the child was belted.
Be safe and buckle up.
