Colorado Drivers Education

Colorado drivers education is an essential first step to life long driving skills. Driving is one of the first major responsibilities in a teens life. Driver education assures a student understands basic traffic laws, rules of the road, basic motor vehicle operation, driver awareness and drug and alcohol effects on driving.

The Colorado driver education course is an interactive course that comes with three CD Roms for use on your home computer. Two of the CD Roms are for the teen student and one disk contains special information, including lesson plan print-outs for behind the wheel training, for the parent. The drivers ed course consists of ten sections that make up 32 hours of computer based instruction along with 14 hours of behind the wheel driver training. In addition, the Colorado drivers education course covers beneficial information about drug and alcohol abuse.

And, you cannot drive a vehicle carrying more than one passenger under 21 unless you have held your driver license for at least one year.

• If your parent or guardian is in the car with you, or
• If there is an adult passenger in the vehicle, 21 years of age or older, who has a valid license and has held a driver license for at least one year or
• If the passenger under 21 needs emergency medical assistance, or
• If the passengers under 21 are members of your immediate family and they are all wearing seatbelts.
