I gotta do drivers Ed this summer, anybody who's done it, please tell me what its like.?

Answer 1

Okay, wow. I remember Driver's Ed.


The worst part of it is, it's absolutely, horrendously boring.


You're going to watch a lot of movies. I watched a lot of Red Asphault, 2 Fast 2 Furious, Fight club (What the hell?), stuff like that. You're going to get a bunch of bull crap tests and possibly even a second hand book to read.



I learned the most by reading the DMV handbook. Driver's Ed taught me NOTHING!!! The handbook taught me everything I needed to know.


Buy some No-Doze pills to stay awake, read the book, and you're good. ^_^


GOOD LUCK!

Answer 2

The in-class is really boring, you sit there and watch videos about proper driving technique, etc, with easy tests.

The in-car is easy enough too, depending if you've done any driving up to now. They start with you in a parking lot usually, and you practice driving straight, turns, and gonig in reverse. Then they take you out onto the street and practice all the main skills - turning right, turning left at a small intersection, turning left at a large intersection, eventually parallel parking and different parking manouvers.

It's pretty simple, but if possible I would go out with your parents first a few times to get a little comfortable before your classes start.

Answer 3

It is the best thing you can do to prepare for driving. It drops the cost of insurance drastically too. I am 29 and still use the skills I picked up in Drivers ed. In my state, it was 30 hrs classroom and 6 hrs driving. If you live in a decent size city, drive downtown. If you can drive there, you can drive anywhere. Also, my parents didn't have the patience and time to teach, so they stuck me and my sister in it. In the long run it paid for its self.

Answer 4

I got my driver licence at 16
drivers ed-watch movies -30 hours -but not the same day
Some driving schools just show You the important ones so its less than 30 hours.
Then they give you the book to study with alot of questions when your ready you take their test. if you pass they give you the certificate to go to the dmv and take the written test , its the same questions as the driving schools but theirs only like 30.
if you pass you get the permit
then you back to the school for drivers training they show you how to drive and everything you need to know about the driving test , but if your 16 you got to have 6 months with the permit until you can get your licence. once you pass drivers training you get another certificate . once the six months have pass you can get your licence.

Answer 5

It sucks. They never let you drive the way you want to. But listen to them. Otherwise you won't pass. Also, depending on what state you live in, if you fail driver's ed, your parent or guardian can sign something that lets you pass. They don't tell you this though...I failed my last drivers ed test and my mom signed the paper so I could get my license anyways....

Answer 6

Piece of cake. It's good that you are getting it out of the way in the summer. Only tough part is that it may take up some time that you would want to use towards other things. I took it with a bunch of buddies, so we had a good time.

Answer 7

It's easy , the hard part is getting your self to show up. Try to get the practice driving out of the way as possible

Answer 8

It's pretty easy, you just drive around following the instructor's commands. They usually have a special brake on their side to prevent accidents. Believe in yourself and you'll do just fine. Good luck!

Answer 9

All I can remember is; the instructer had a brake that she could apply; I remember her saying that she wished she had a steering wheel as well.

Answer 10
