No. The Rules of the Road will not satisfy any state requirement. It does not provide a certificate of completion.

So, what’s the point, right? If The Rules of the Road doesn’t get you “out” of some sort of arbitrary requirement, why should you bother with it?

The answer is that our DVD teaches you more than just how to pass a test. Our goal is to teach teens how to safely drive a car. So, we included much material that is beyond the scope of most online or book courses. For instance, our program includes material on jump starting a car, how to handle skids, and driving in the rain, sleet, and snow.

Your new driver is going to be behind the wheel of a 3,000 pound missile. We believe that they should know more than just how to drive around the block and parallel park (which is the extent of most State’s driving test).

No. Our program is strictly an interactive DVD. We believe that many students are visual learners and respond well to our video format. However, the more materials and methods to which you can expose your teen, the better.

All of the dialogue is spoken in English. Subtitles are available in both English and Spanish on every copy of the Rules of the Road.

Spanish subtitles are included on the Rules of the Road DVD.Choose between English, Spanish or No subtitles.

Simply use the menus on the DVD to pick a subtitle option. Subtitles are set to “None” by default.

No. While the Rules of the Road was designed with teens in mind (as the majority of new drivers are teenagers), the material is still applicable and useful to any new driver, regardless of age.

We have included an interactive quiz section on The Rules of the Road. All of these questions are similar to those you would find on the DMV test.

Multiple choice quizzes supplement DVD driving instruction. Road Sign Tests help you learn to drive. Quizzes at the end of each section help reinforce the material. Road Sign Tests prepare your teen for the real thing.

First, they go over all the basics of the pre-trip inspection.

This includes checking tire pressure, checking headlights and brakelights, adjusting seats and steering, and adjusting side-view and rear-view mirrors.

City and Residential Driving Instruction.
Hit the streets with Alex and her mother as they practice driving on real streets around the city and town.

When driving, one must be incredibly cautious around school buses. Our screen-tip toolbar reinforces this rule by writing the explanation of the rule across the screen.
Caution: School Buses

Caution: Railroad Crossing
Be cautious of school buses on both sides of the street.

Always approach railroad crossings with caution.

Example topics: 3 Second Rule and The 4 Way Stop

The 3 Second Rule is a great concept for ensuring proper following distances.

The 4 way stop is a common driving scenario and knowing the proper order of right-of-way is extremely important in avoiding collisions.

Rules of the Road presents these concepts in both live-action scenarios as well as a comprehensive 3D animation.

Highway Driving.
We follow Alex and Elizabeth as they take a trip around the city via a major highway.

Blind spots and No Zones are not the same thing. Learn proper following distances when sharing the highway with large trucks.
Learn about No Zones.

Blind spots.
Be aware of a large vehicle’s ability to see you.

Blind spots can be treacherous when teens learn to drive.

Driving on rural highways, for example, can be confusing, especially when lane lines are changing color, the number of lane lines changes, or the line changes from a solid line to a dotted line.

Rules of the Road explains all of this simply, easily, and effectively.

Proper use of hi-beams from behind and for on-coming traffic is explored in this 3D animation.

We have provided explanation of this technique from multiple angles in order to increase learning retention.

The three leading causes of death for 15- to 24-year-olds are automobile crashes, homicides, and suicides—alcohol is a leading factor in all three.
