Answer 1

Reasons not to take driver's ed? How about fear, stupidity and arrogance? Or maybe you just don't want to drive, ever, for as long as you live. I didn't take driver's ed, it just didn't exist where I went to school, or I would have done just about anything to be part of it. I was lucky to have a father who believed in training, practice, experience, and more training, practice, experience.

Answer 2

Hmmm, for me it was very valuable, but I'll try to debate the other side.

Several comprehensive international reviews of the best scientific evaluations of driver education programs for young beginners all come to the same conclusion: There is no difference in the crash records of driver education graduates compared with equivalent groups of beginners who learned to drive without formal education. The most recent review of driver education studies states, "There is little evidence that pre-license training per se reduces crash rates among novice drivers in the short or longer term".

Having driver education available in high schools is a convenience for many parents, and most educators probably would agree that the public high school system has a part to play in teaching various vocational skills. However, it must be recognized that public funding or other ways of encouraging high school driver education worsen the crash problem for teenagers and eliminating driver education in schools will produce safety benefits by reducing early licensure. Debates about driver education in high schools should take these factors into account. There is no official tally of schools in the United States currently offering driver education, although there has been a trend to drop it, primarily for economic reasons.

Answer 3

With driver's ed you'll get cheaper insurance rates, it's a easier class and you'll help out your GPA. It will hopefully make you a better driver.

Not to take it????
Maybe it won't fit in your class schedule, you're just not ready to drive a car, you really love those big buses, driving interferes with doing your homework on the way to school.
