AT an hour when most teenagers are still sleeping, some 19 high school students sat attentively in a classroom here at Rye Middle School one day not long ago, listening to their instructor, Charlie Northshield, explain the subtleties of road signs and traffic rules. Never mind that the class is at 7 a.m. Nor that many of these students come from here to jobs as lifeguards or camp counselors. These students are highly motivated, and have their eyes fixed firmly on the prize: the freedom of a senior driving license. As Mia Zuccaro, 16, a Rye High School junior, said: 'I get up at 6 to 6:30 to be here.

Driver's education instruction in Rye, New York with Fresh Green Light includes six 80-minute driving lessons and pick-up & drop-off in Lower Westchester County.

I just really want to be able to get my license.' ' With driver's education, a student can get a senior license at 17, instead of at 18 - and be liberated from many of the restrictions that govern the junior license. Currently in Westchester, a junior license allows the driver to drive, unaccompanied, only between 5 a.m. Battle Los Angeles Full Movie HD In Double Audio Download Mp4 here.

Between 9 p.m. And 5 a.m., unless it's for school or a work-related activity, a parent or guardian has to be in the car. A enior license is unrestricted. Completion of driver's ed helps reduce car insurance payments, usually about 10 percent. Driver's ed also prepares students not only to pass the required road test, but also to know how to handle road emergencies and dangerous driving conditions. Summer is often the most convenient time for students to take driver's ed.

The classes, once a staple of high school, have largely disappeared from the county's schools. 'I know a lot of schools have dropped driver's ed, but we still do the classroom instruction during the school day,' said Dennis Cuddy, chairman of the counseling department at Horace Greeley. 'It's extremely popular. We offer it fall and spring semesters, and it's limited to 100 students per semester, with priority given to seniors and juniors.' ' According to Carlos Cuprill, coordinator of driver education for New York State's Department of Education, there are 400 active driver's ed programs in New York State. Many of these programs, however, are offered through private driving schools as a convenience to students in the district, and are scheduled after the school day ends.

'The school district budgets came under intensive scrutiny during the 1970's, and one of the first things to go was driver's ed,' said Allan Lazarus, head of the Yonkers-based PAS Auto School, which contracts with districts to provide behind-the-wheel instruction to high schools including Yorktown, Somers, Lakeland, Valhalla, Eastchester and Westlake. The prevailing model seems to be running the classroom portion of driver's ed at school, taught by a New York State certified driver's ed teacher, with driving school employees handling the behind-the-wheel instruction.

Formula One Driving School in Mamaroneck, for example, works with Rye and Chappaqua, among others. Under state law, students enrolled in driver's ed must not only pass the 24-hour classroom component of the course with a grade of 65, but also must have 18 hours of observation in a car and six hours of driving experience. 1, under the stricter state graduated licensing regulations, junior drivers who receive a permit will be expected to have a minimum of 20 hours of supervised driving before they can take a road test.

No one with a limited junior license in Westchester, Putnam, Rockland, Nassau and Suffolk and New York City will be able to drive without a licensed driver who is at least 21 years old, in the car. In the driver's ed course in Rye, students get an additional six hours beyond the state's required 24 classroom hours, covering topics like alcohol, drugs, the difference between city and country driving, rules of the road and emergency situations.

Northshield, who has been teaching driver's ed for more than 30 years, requires field trips to a local firehouse to witness a jaws of life demonstration, when firefighters demolish a car to perform a rescue. Classroom visitors include a family member of someone who was killed by a drunken driver. 'I bring in extra people to energize the program,' said Mr. 'There's nothing like going to court, with the boredom and monotony of it, to make the point, or seeing the jaws of life demonstration.'

Driving is an enormous responsibility for both new drivers and their parents. Each year, the SHS PTA co-sponsors a Safe Driving Assembly. This year’s assembly features Rick and Tina Blank, who are advocates for responsible teen driving which is considered the most dangerous period in life for driving. During this impactful assembly, our speakers described how their lives were turned upside down when their son paid the ultimate price for driving too fast. The best way for parents to encourage their children to drive safely is to model safe driving practices themselves.
