Top Reasons to take Driver Education with the National Highway Safety Administration

Here at the National Highway Safety Administration, we care about you and your driving needs. With over 25 years of experience in driver education, we understand that driver safety is vital to you and your family. Even more important, we know what driver education is really about! Driver education isn’t just about supplying information – it’s about how the student understands the information, how they absorb it, and then make use of it in their daily life. It involves taking the cold facts on a computer screen and making sure that information goes down deep into the student’s heart, thus influencing the decisions they make as a driver. When the information goes deep enough, it will positively influence a driver, even when they have to react so quickly that they’re barely aware they’re even making a decision.
