DRIVER EDUCATION: A SURVEY AND ANALYSIS OF STATE LAWS AND PRACTICES PERTAINING TO NON-PUBLIC SCHOOL AND OUT-OF-SCHOOL YOUTH

THE HIGHWAY SAFETY ACT OF 1966 REQUIRES EACH STATE TO PROVIDE DRIVER EDUCATION PROGRAMS AND PROVIDES FEDERAL FUNDS TO EXPAND OR IMPROVE THESE PROGRAMS. PROVIDING DRIVER EDUCATION TO YOUTHS WHO ARE NOT IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND TO THOSE WHO ARE OUT OF SCHOOL IS DIFFICULT, CHIEFLY BECAUSE OF LEGAL PROBLEMS. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A DRIVER EDUCATION PLAN FOR THESE CIRCUMSTANCES ARE MADE. SOME STATES PERMIT STUDENTS IN PAROCHIAL AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS TO ENROLL FOR DRIVER EDUCATION THROUGH THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEMS. EXPANSION OF THIS DUAL ENROLLMENT PLAN TO OUT OF SCHOOL YOUTHS IS SUGGESTED. /HSL/
