Classroom Driver Education involves at least 30 hours of instruction to include essential knowledge and skills that address traffic safety needs and focus on safe driving attitudes, skill development, and appropriate responses to hazards. The driver education curriculum links visual search skills, space management, and balanced vehicle movement to risk-reducing driving strategies. Significant attention is given to risk awareness, driver alertness, and responsible actions relative to occupant protection devices, positive interactions with other roadway users, and the physical and psychological conditions affecting driver performance. Units about alcohol safety, drug abuse awareness, aggressive driving, distracted driving, motorcycle awareness, and organ and tissue donation awareness are included in the course.
