  2 0 Because not everybody's parents are great drivers themselves, let alone able to teach driving to their kids. For example, in the last seventeen years, I've seen my mother use a turn exactly signal four times.

With a kid and a possibly incompetent parent in a car next to me, I'm not comforted by the idea that "well, he'll fail his test later!" As for any logic that says that they ARE being taught by a licensed driver, we all know that a lot of people's driving skills can deteriorate after their last test.

  0 0 Wouldn't that completely defeat the purpose of requiring Driver's Ed? If the rule didn't exist, presumably SOMEONE would teach a kid to drive before they took the test, so the requirement is just there to make sure the kid is getting instruction that meets certain standards. If we just let any old schmoe be a Driver's Ed instructor to their kids, why not just do away with the whole rule? Maybe if there were some sort of certification process parents could go through (Driver's Ed Ed, if you will), it might make sense. Jack answered in Teens & Tweens about 1 year ago | Report 1 comment by RM… 0 0 Where I grew up (Juneau, AK) - there was one private drivers ed company, but it wasn't a requirement. My parents, brother, and older boyfriend all taught me how to drive- and I passed the test just fine. I don't personally know why or understand why Washington requires it. If you're taught to drive by a crappy driver- you'll fail your test anyway.

  2 2 Special equipment. You really need the car with two sets of brakes and a roof sigh to do this safely. My father was a drivers ed instructor for many, many years. As the youngest, I was the only one not instructed by him after he moved to adult defensive driving instruction. My siblings are terrible drivers and got a lousy education. I am a great driver. We all agree that it is due to the improved teaching environment. There is some value to learning to drive from someone you are not related to. Less stress, less personal involvement and just better.
