Once Cut From California's School Budget, Driver's Education is Back at No Cost

SACRAMENTO, Calif., March 7 -- It has been years since California High Schools dropped Driver Education due to state budget cuts. This forced parents and teens to find private driving schools on their own so teens could get their learner's permit or what we used to call "Pink Slip." MyCaliforniaPermit.com is now offering a DMV-approved, Driver Education course that allows teens, parents and high school teachers to learn from this valuable curriculum. The students do not need a classroom either because these courses are conveniently online.

Many high schools, public, private and charter, do not have an approved or accredited driver education class, and so "My California Permit" makes this site available for them to use as a resource in their own classrooms. There is no need to register or key in a credit card number to begin using this course. The student, as well as the parents, can retake the course at any time without "logging in." They can enjoy going over it with friends or family members, and may review items they don't fully understand. In fact it can be used by anyone, not just teens, as a driver education refresher course.

If you ever wondered what the timeline for the Driver License Process is you can visit http://www.mycaliforniapermit.com/questions2.php . Teens that are at least 15 1/2 must take several steps to get their driver license after they complete this online course, such as:

  --  Take the online drivers ed exam to receive a Certificate of Completion

MyCaliforniaPermit.com offers the exam following the free course at a competitive rate, supplies "behind the wheel" training referrals for your area and provides useful tips on the entire driver license process to help make high school teens confident and safe drivers.

MyCaliforniaPermit.com truly believes that they have the best Driver Education courses in the state.

Mr. Munson was appointed California's "Instructor of the Year" and is also the President of the California Driver Education Association.
