Driving is not an exact skill since safe execution depends largely on how
the other driver reactions. In Gibson County testing for skill proficiency
is not difficult. Many young people that get licensed think that they have
everything they need to drive safely, but acutally it is only the
beginning. There is so much to learn but skills developed in this class
will help you all the days of your life. Parents are expected to work along
with the driver education course to insure that the student is operating his
vehicle in a safe and reliable manner. Driving is a life long learning
experience. Parents remember you are the greatest role model for your
children. When you drive your child is looking at you and will emulate you
in just about every manner of driving. Drive according to the rules of the
road. It will teach your children valuable skills and will keep them safe
while driving. Thank you very much.
