An essay by one of our students:

In order for a teen to receive driving privileges there is a process that he or she must go through. Until this process is accomplished, a teen will not be allowed behind the wheel until the age of eighteen. Fortunately, the Internet allows students the ability to get started in their driver’s education in the comfort of their own home.

Driver’s Training

Any person under eighteen wishing to get their Driver’s License must complete Driver’s Training. Driver’s Training has been designed as a prerequisite to ensure that the student learns the fundamental mechanics of driving and driving laws that keep driver’s safe on the road. Fortunately, because the training is knowledge oriented, the Internet provides a great opportunity to finish this segment of a student’s education at home at their own pace.

Permit Test and the DMV

When the student has completed Driver’s Training, he or she will need to make an appointment with the DMV to take the permit test. The goal of this test is to make sure the teen has a comprehensive grasp on the material every driver is expected to know. The test can be taken until passed; however, there is a fee for retakes as well as a waiting period.

Driver’s Permit

After the student passes his or her permit test he or she will receive their permit. By signing up with a driving instructor, the actual behind-the-wheel training can begin. After the first lesson, the student will be able to accomplish the remainder of their permit requirements with an adult 25 years of age or older. These requirements are focused around the student obtaining a certain amount of behind-the-wheel experience both in daylight and at night

Driver’s License

After the permit training the teen will be eligible to receive their Driver’s License. However, before they are granted permission to drive on their own, they must pass a driving test with a DMV employee to ensure that they are ready to handle the car without adult supervision. If this test is passed, the student will have their Driver’s License- with provisions. This provisional license restricts the teen to drive for the first six months with anyone under 20 years of age unless accompanied by an adult 25 or older. Also, for the first twelve months driving is restricted between 5 a.m. - 11 p.m.

Traffic School

However, if the driver is not careful in their driving and is caught breaking a driving law, such as speeding, they may be required by a Judge to go to Traffic School. At Traffic School, the driver will learn what they did wrong and work to correct it. Fortunately, if the driver attends this eight-ten hour class, the infraction will be dismissed from the driver’s record. Traffic School is not available for violations that involve drugs, alcohol or traffic accidents. Also, the driver may not attend Traffic School if they were cited for speeding in excess of 25 miles per hour. Like Driver’s Training, Traffic School can be taken online.

At cal-driver-ed.com we can help you along the path to getting your license from the comfort of your own home.
