Frequent Questions & Answers

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.
