Online vs Classes

[DaeDaex2]

Hey yall, Im working on this project and I need some statistics on how exactly one has received their leaners permit or license. I kno a few years ago before online drivers education blew up a lot people took actually classes. Now, a days these "classes" are offered online which makes it accessible from any "hot spot". My mission is to figure out a percent of those who took classes and those who took them online. Drop a comment suggestion, or opinion. Floor is all yours....

For a permit or for like...a test?

Well for my permit, I read a book.

You can get a drivers permit online!? I thought time behind the wheel was one of the most basic requirements for that... it damn well should be.

But anyways I took drivers ed in high school... behind the wheel of a car

High school driver's education, followed by in-person written test at DMV and driver's test in a real car.

Took a test for my permit in class...got the permit, then drove with the teacher after school...went in to DMV for my driving test and got the license.

Well it was way back in May of 1998, but I took it my high school. Waited many months to take it with my friends instead of around my birthday.

Never took a class or anything. Here in Georgia (or at least 8 years ago) you just stroll up to the dmv with a birth certificate and you get a learners permit to drive with someone who is over 21 in the car. A year after that you take the drivers test and you are done. None of this class stuff. Really, how do you "learn" to drive in a classroom?

Classroom drivers ed taught the rules of the road that go beyond "common sense" rules - who has the right of way, what different traffic signs mean, speed limits in adverse conditions, safety statistics...etc...

In other words - it taught the things that people forget as soon as they get their license.

I took drivers ed in high school - there was a few weeks of classroom lectures, a few days of simulator driving, and a few weeks of actually being behind the wheel.

I took the "book" part of driver's ed in high school. I also took a behind-the-wheel course in high school, in addition to driving with my parents.

To get the learner's permit, I had to take a computerized, touch-screen test at the DMV. To get my license, I had to drive an actual car (which I hope NEVER changes).
