But, if you\u2019ve never taken a course before, or it\u2019s been a while and you\u2019re preparing your child, you might be wondering, what is driver\u2019s ed?<\/p>\n<p>All driver\u2019s ed courses in Maryland are a combination of the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>30 Hours of Classroom Time<\/li>\n<li>At Least 6 Hours of Behind The Wheel training with an instructor<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In some cases, you\u2019re able to take extra hours of behind the wheel training, or even sign up for private lessons if you feel that extra training is necessary.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">While in the classroom, students will learn about the rules of the road, what laws they need to abide by, how to read road signs, and the different road markings and lines that help keep order on the road. They\u2019ll also learn important safety tips, including how to be a defensive driver, and how to use their mirrors and turn signals to keep themselves and other drivers safe.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">When students get behind the wheel with an instructor, they will learn how to apply what they\u2019ve learned in the classroom to the open road. Depending on the students experience, some instructors may start out drivers in an enclosed parking lot to help the student get comfortable with the vehicle before having to navigate with other cars on the road. Keep in mind, the only (legal) way for students to have prior experience is if they\u2019ve already earned their learner\u2019s permit and have trained with a parent or guardian whom is over the age of 21.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The job of our instructors is to prepare each student with the information they need to drive safely on the road. Some students may need more help than others, which is why we encourage parents or guardians to be involved in their child\u2019s driver\u2019s ed journey, as they can offer extra hours of instruction outside of the driver\u2019s ed experience.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1285","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-driving-blog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/silverstartdrivingschool.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1285","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/silverstartdrivingschool.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/silverstartdrivingschool.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/silverstartdrivingschool.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/silverstartdrivingschool.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1285"}],"version-history":[{"count":16,"href":"https:\/\/silverstartdrivingschool.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1285\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1364,"href":"https:\/\/silverstartdrivingschool.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1285\/revisions\/1364"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/silverstartdrivingschool.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1285"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/silverstartdrivingschool.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1285"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/silverstartdrivingschool.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1285"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
