DRIVERS EDUCATION-CLASSROOM ONLY          

08174000

Course Description:  Drivers Education is a guide to teaching the rules of the road in New Mexico, as well as helping young drivers develop attitudes of cooperation rather than competition in traffic. Attitude determines how knowledge and skills will be applied.  It determines whether drivers will take the wheel after drinking too much alcohol or make other plans beforehand.  It can mean the difference between a shrug and an incident of escalating road rage. Students must make a 70% C Average to get a certificate of completion as per state requirement.  District Policy for graduation is a 60% D, so students can “pass” the class and not receive a certificate.
