Driver Ed in a Box - Drivers Ed Louisiana - Drivers Education Louisiana - Parent Taught Drivers Ed Louisiana

	LOUISIANA DRIVER EDUCATION
Teen drivers may apply for a permit at the age of 15, with the approval of a parent or legal guardian. Louisiana requires that all teens under 17 complete 30 hours of classroom instruction and 6 hours behind-the-wheel driving instruction from an approved high school or commercial driver education course. Driver Ed in a Box® gives you the tools to work with your teen during the permit stage. NOTE: First time teen applicants 17 years of age or above may apply for a Class E license or a Learner’s Permit simply by completing a 6 hour pre-licensing course. 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. The tools you receive in Driver Ed in a Box® 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 completed your 6 hour pre-licensing course and are at least 17 (Louisiana state requirements), you can go to the local driver license examiner and take your road test.
Parents using Driver Ed in a Box® to work directly with their teen and supervise their progress ensures the safest teen drivers on the road. For more information about Louisiana's driver license laws, please visit:

Parent/student comments: “This program is very good in explaining the steps for each maneuver. It gradually builds from the beginner's lessons up to the skilled, and gives some situations that one might meet up with in their driving. I enjoyed the Driver Ed in a Box® curriculum." - Julia Shore, Parent "My dad and I listened to the tapes and watched several of the beginning videos, and my dad explained the terminology used before starting in the parking lot. Once I began driving, I would say what actions I was doing, such as 'Clear left, clear right, clear left' or "Mirror.' This system of driver Commenting was probably the most helpful part of the program, both because it made me conscious of whether or not I was doing the right things and it told my dad exactly what I was thinking so that he would know if I was aware of the hazards or if he needed to alert me." – Matt Ashbaugh, Student "I felt Driver Ed in a Box® covered all aspects of driving. I have taught a teen to drive before without any additional material. The teen I trained with Driver Ed in a Box® is much better prepared." - Kathryn Engen, Parent
