Driver Education is offered as part of the Ichabod Crane Summer School program. The course consists of 24 hours of classroom instruction and 24 hours of in-car instruction. Some students will already have their license while others will only have a permit.
Classroom instruction is intended to help students realize how our highway transportation system works, and their role in it. Lessons include vehicle controls, right of way, physics involved in driving, signs and markings. Their responsibility as a driver is discussed with emphasis on emotions and substances that can impact driving ability.
The in-car segment includes many of the same topics in practice. Learning how to enter traffic from intersections, merging, maintaining speed, parking, lane changes, managing space, visibility and time. Instruction can vary depending on the students’ ability level.
Course requirements:
In order to participate, students must be at least 16 years old and have a valid New York State learner's permit or driver’s license.
Attendance: It is the student's responsibility to meet the course requirements as established by the New York State Education Department.
