Nevada requires that all drivers under the age of 18 take a local driver education course either through the public school system, if offered, or through an available commercial driving school. At this time there is NO provision for a parent taught course.
Teen drivers may apply for an instruction permit at the age of 15 1/2, 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. Nevada requires you spend a minimum of 50 hours 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 50 hours Nevada 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 for 90 days and are at least 15 3/4 (Nevada state requirements), you can go to the local driver license examiner and take your road test.

Parent/student comments:
"I assumed that lane changes were simple, and that not much was required. Not being fully aware of my blind spots, I attempted to make a lane change and discovered that there was another car in my intended path of travel. After my session in the parking lot, I became fully aware of all my blind spots and the S.M.O.G. procedure which has helped me in making successful lane changes." - B.B., Sparks, Nevada
"Excellent! Small price to pay for driver ed assistance." - R.C.D., Jr., Boulder City, Nevada
"I like the in-vehicle experience. This program helped me become less aggressive on the road." - R.C.D, III, Boulder City, Nevada
