Driver and Traffic Safety Education Curriculum Grade 10

* The goal of the Driver and Traffic Safety Education program—to learn the fundamentals of safe and responsible driving within a variety of environments—is broad but achievable. This goal is attained through the required minimum 30 hours of classroom instruction. Actual hands-on or performance based driving experience in a vehicle under the supervision of a certified driver education teacher is also required. Optional phases of the program—simulation and multi-vehicle driving range experiences—may also be included in the course. It is recommended that students complete at least one of these phases, if not both, before progressing to the behind-the-wheel  hase of driving instruction.
