So your teen will soon be driving, but winter will soon be here too. How does the choice of a driver's ed program play a role in safety for young drivers?

"Well, for starters, teen drivers need to learn their basic skills somewhere. And we all know how well many teens listen to their parents. "It was easier learning from a stranger, because I personally have a hard time driving with my parents," one teen driver told the Center for Applied Research for a 2004 report on licensing and driver training in Oregon. Who knows? Maybe learning to drive from the folks ranks so far down on the coolness scale that teen drivers simply turn Mom and Dad off.
Another reason: This generation of teens was raised on the Internet and often learns better when courses have components similar to computer games. There are many online driver's ed courses and most good driving schools will combine interactive teaching with the old chalkboard and textbook. The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety sells an interactive DVD, Driver-ZED that puts your teen in the virtual driver seat.
