Does your teenager get driver training in high school? He should if possible.
During the 1958-1959 academic year, 63 per cent of America's 21,000 public high schools offered some kind of driver training to 67.7 per cent of the eligible students, and 1,338,000 students received driver training.
Even so, one out of every three eligible students received no training at all.
The training pays off in safety. Young drivers who complete approved programs have records twice as good as those without training. As a result, many high-school-trained drivers can get a deduction of up to 10 per cent on their insurance premiums.
