Safely sharing the roadway with other drivers and pedestrians is essential for avoiding accidents.
The traffic laws and rules of the road cannot address all possible driving situations. If you remember to be courteous, you can help avoid accidents and keep traffic moving in an orderly fashion. The golden rule of driving is to treat other drivers the way you want to be treated. You should obey traffic laws, drive responsibly, and avoid taking unnecessary risks.
Understand that the main purpose of driver education is to help you learn the skills, knowledge, and attitudes needed for greater safety both as an operator of an automobile and as a pedestrian.
Using the knowledge, skills, and attitudes you learn in driver education lowers your chances of being involved in costly, injurious, and sometimes deadly accidents.
Using the knowledge, skills, and attitudes you learn in driver education also reduces the costs of law enforcement, property replacement, and results in a much more pleasant driving environment.
How to get your Provsional Instruction Permit
The California DMV video below provides a great heads up for the process of getting your provisional instruction permit (or "learner's" permit). You are starting the process now by taking this driver education course. When you complete this course, we will send you a certificate of completion of driver education. You will take that certificate with you to the DMV, along with other documents, to test for your provisional instruction permit.
You will now answer 5 questions to test what you learned during this lesson. You must answer all questions correctly to receive completion credit for this lesson. You may answer the questions as many times as necessary to get them right.
You should review the lesson material if you don't do well on the quiz.
