Credit: 1 unit
Prerequisite: A student must meet state's prerequisite for driving.
The goals of the Driver Education Program of Study are to provide students with the knowledge and skills to safely and efficiently operate a motor vehicle on our nation's streets and highways, to equip students with the knowledge to enable them to make wise decisions as drivers, and to assist students to become responsible users of the highway transportation system. The program of study includes cognitive development relating to traffic laws and ordinances, traffic signs, signals and markers, natural laws, fuel conservation and vehicle restraint systems. Also included are the psychomotor skills required for basic control of the vehicle, lane changing, passing, following, entering and exiting from traffic, driving in cities/towns, on rural and urban roads and freeways, responding to emergencies, various road and weather conditions, defensive driving techniques, and interaction with other highway users including motorcycles and trucks. The program emphasizes strategies to develop the behavior patterns known as the S.I.P.D.E. Concept (Search, Identify, Predict, Decide, and Execute) for all driving and driving related activities. |
