Driver Ed in a Box® will satisfy all of your teenager’s driver education needs and at the same time teach them to become a safe, collision-free driver.  In Oregon, you do not need to take any other driver education course (either through the school system of from a commercial school).

The first 6 hours if the classroom included in our course, combined with the Oregon Driver Manual, will give your teen all the information they need to take their examination and receive their permit at age 15, 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.  Oregon requires you spend a minimum of 100 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 100 hours Oregon 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 6 months, have completed your 100 hours behind the wheel, and are at least 16 (Oregon state requirements), you can go to the local driver license examiner and take your road test. 

Parent/student comments:

"When I first started using Driver Ed in a Box® I hardly knew how to start a car. Reading the textbook and watching the videos helped, but nothing can replace actual driving experience behind-the-wheel." - P.T.D., Hood River, Oregon

"The Parent Companion helped us to follow through and be organized and thorough in the behind-the-wheel training." - S.M., Redmond, Oregon

"Driver Ed in a Box® gave me something concrete to start the teaching process with and it also taught me right along with my teen." - Valeria Anderson, Woodburn, Oregon

"The curriculum provided a great tool and framework through which my Dad could instruct me. I still refer to many of the terms we used during this program. Also the practice drive tests aided me in preparing for my drive test and I appreciated the foundation of road law heavily laced with common sense." - Nathan Nance, Salem, Oregon
