*** This course is great for basic skills; however, your student will still be in need of practice
and logging hours behind the wheel under your supervision. Statistics have shown that the first
five years of driving are the most critical. You can be of great help to your student by helping
them in making sound judgments during this initial learning time. During the times your student
is riding with you, please point out situations that may lead to trouble unless proper defensive
driving techniques are used.
