Question

In America drivers' education is part of high school. Every student in his or her second year of high school is required to take a course in drivers' education. However unlike other courses it isn't given during the regular school year. Instead it is a summer course.

The course is divided into two parts: class time for learning the laws and regulations and driving time for practice. The students study the basic traffic laws they must know to pass the written driving test which is given to anyone who wants to get a driver's license.

Driving time is a chance for the students to sit behind the steering wheel and practice all kinds of skills that are required to drive a car. Each student is required to drive for a total of six hours. The students are divided into groups of four. The students and the instructor go out driving for two hours. Thus each student gets half an hour of driving time per outing. The instructor and the "driver" sit in the front seats and the other three students sit in the back.

The cars for drivers' education are different from other ears. In this kind of car there are two sets of brakes one on the driver's side and the other on the instructor; s side. Thus if the student driver runs into difficulties the instructor can take over. This kind of car also has another special feature. On the rear window of the car is a sign that reads： STUDENT DRIVER. That lets nearby drivers know that they should be more careful because the student driver isn't very experienced.

After the student has passed the drivers' education course and reached the proper age to drive they can go to a designated state office to take the driving test which is made up of an eye examination a written test and a road test. The student must pass all the three tests in order to get a driver's license. If the student does well in the drivers' education class he or she will have no problem passing the test with flying colors and getting licensed.
