California Parents Guide to Drivers Ed

We know your primary concern during your teen’s driver education is to keep them safe from harm, while also ensuring they follow the necessary steps to become a safe, responsible driver on the road. That’s why I Drive Safely has created an online California drivers ed program that teaches the fundamentals of safe driving.

Our CA Drivers Ed Course:

  • Is licensed by the California DMV as a state drivers ed program
  • Was created by expert instructors in both driver education and online learning
  • Utilizes the latest advancements in teaching technology
  • Adapts to your teen's schedule, pace, and learning style
  • Gives you oversight and transparency into your teen’s driver education

California Drivers Ed Made Easy

No two teens are alike – so why should drivers ed be a one-size-fits-all experience? We believe that each teen deserves the opportunity to choose how they learn best, and a classroom course just doesn’t offer that.

Our California drivers ed online course gives your teen the ability to study comfortably from home, and allows them to enjoy their daily activities, do their homework, and spend time with friends and family while still getting the world-class education they deserve. Utilizing the best teaching techniques and adapting to your teen's individual learning curve gives them the opportunity to study far more efficiently than a distracting classroom environment.

Remember, it doesn't end once your child earns that coveted California drivers license. Even if you're not required to be in the car with them anymore, they're still going to need your guidance. And as the parent of a new driver, you're going to need to find ways to respect their independence when they're on the roads, while still maintaining fair guidelines for them to follow.

California Drivers Ed That’s Great for Parents and Teens

To further ensure that you and your teen are on the same page during this process, we've included a free parent-teen driving contract with our California drivers education online course. This document gives you and your child a list of rules and consequences associated with their new freedom. You can both sit down together and decide on what is fair for each of you, so that everyone will be held accountable for their actions.

Topics discussed in the agreement are:

  • Getting permission to drive, and what that entails
  • Who is allowed to drive the car
  • Rules about cell phone use while on the road
  • Any financial responsibilities your teen may have

The most important part of this process is that both you and your teen are voicing your opinions and making decisions that are mutually agreed upon. You should listen to what each other has to say, and compromise when you disagree. You both get a vote when it comes to our contract.
