North Carolina law requires anyone
under 18 to complete Driver Education before obtaining a
driver license. Driver Education classes are taught at Crest
HS three seperate sessions each school year. Students are
exposed to many topics during the classroom phase such as;
basic rules of the road, motor vehicle law, procedures for
basic maneuvers, natural laws, and attitudes for being a
safe and responsible driver. The BTW (behind-the-wheel)
phase awards students the opportunity for actual hands on
training on the streets and highways. Again, in the time
allotted only basic manuevers are taught. Once a student
successfully completes Driver Education and obtains a
limited learners permit they are able to drive and gain
valuable experience under the close supervision of their
parents. This training coupled with the driving experience
provided by their parents will generally result in a safe
and responsible teen driver.
