He reported 115 students were certified during the year, with many more taking the course during the summer. The students are required to experience six hours of driving and 30 hours of classroom instruction. When driving they start out with the basics in the parking lot, and then advance to residential areas, four lane streets, highways, and finally city driving. They discuss emergency situations and simulate things that might happen, such as changing a tire. The classes view lots of films, and hear from outside speakers, such as race drivers and policemen.
