Teen drivers may apply for a permit at the age of 16, with the approval of a parent or legal guardian.  Driver Ed in a Box® gives you the tools to work with your teen during the Permit stage.  Kentucky requires you spend a minimum of 60 hours (effective October 1, 2006) supervising your teen driver during the permit time.  Our course will guide you past the handling skills learned in traditional driver education, giving you the tools you need to teach the skills your teen driver needs to become a safe, collision-free driver.  By combining the 60 hours Kentucky requires with the tools you receive in Driver Ed in a Box®, you will help your teen build the habits of safe, collision-free driving (click here to access our Product Description page).  Driver Ed in a Box® creates habits that are proven to be effective (see Survey).  

The Driver Ed in a Box® program gives you the tools to master the skills of each section of driving (we break it down to Parking Lot, Neighborhood, Two Lane and Four Lane Light Traffic, Freeway, Rural and Heavy Traffic). With our checklist and audio CDs, it allows the student to master the skills required in each area at their own pace before moving on to the next section.  Once you have had your permit a minimum of 180 days, have completed your 60 hours behind the wheel, Graduated Licensing Course (Free course provided by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet in the drivers home county) and are at least 16 1/2 (Kentucky state requirements) you can go to the local driver license examiner and take your road test. 

Parent/student comments:

"Excellent. It gave me full confidence that I can teach my teen to drive collision-free." - R.M., Benton, Kentucky

"In Kentucky we are required, after receiving our driver’s license, to take a graduate drivers class which covers the fundamentals of driving. I found that Driver Ed In A Box® was more beneficial because I was able to use the workbook as an individual, watch the videos, and then practice what I learned on the road. The Kentucky graduate drivers class did not give information to better driving skills. They just showed videos & stories of bad incidents just to scare you. I feel very well prepared to drive on my own because I have had wonderful teachers."-Tabitha Wraley, Louisville, Kentucky

Driver Ed in a Box® is concise, precise, and non-technical. I felt very much at ease implementing the teaching program." - Jeff Rich, Morehead, Kentucky
