PARENTS’ RESPONSIBILITIES AND DUTIES


From a Parent’s point of view, it is far more difficult and frightening than before to insulate kids from Danger. Parents can no longer protect their children as they become more rebellious to supervision. Yet their children may not be ready to understand the gravity of their actions and the full impact of the consequences. 
Driving a car is not simply turning a steering wheel, anybody even a monkey can do that! Driving is knowing, applying, and respecting rules and regulations without hesitation, That can only be achieved by learning and training with 100 percent dedication, to engrave the rules in their subconscious mind. 

The DMV requests that teens follow a minimum of 30-hour learning (that matches the live courses). so topics have a timer (from 15 to 90 mn according to importance) and it must be elapsed ( gone) to be allowed to continue.

Parents should supervise their children to make sure they read the topics and are not texting friends while waiting for the timer to elapse. It is easy to find out if they do: Not reading the topics will make them redo the quizzes again and again by” guessing”, which confuses the brain and does not accomplish anything.

This is not School anymore and by cheating the system, they will only be cheating themselves.

If one misses a question or questions we recommend taking note of it (or them). They can review the questions by pressing a button under the score if they miss it., and then finding the answer (s) in the corresponding topic ( they can come back to topics anytime – no timer the second time)> this is not cheating but a learning process, much more efficient and time-saving than “guessing”.


We once had a student redoing a 13 -questions training quiz 32 times!!!!… He missed the final exam 3 times!!! How frustrating this must be. We could not contact him to help as he gave us a wrong email and a wrong phone number.

He finally called us after 32 times! Anyone, in the end, passes the exam but being a safe and responsible driver depends on how they train and educate themselves. As a driver, they soon will be in full charge of a deadly weapon. Welcome to adulthood!

YOUR JOB AS A PARENT AND DRIVING COACH Just like a sports coach is to teach and stay cool under pressure. (and give a good example when driving yourself!)   Being a good partner and co-pilot will help your teen driver keep it together, too. DRIVE SAFE! be safe!

This course is important for new drivers teens and adults alike. It is meant to replace 50 hours of driving experience.
Young drivers have to face and accept their responsibility to learn rules and regulations and be fully aware that they are holding their own life and the life of their passengers in their hands, as they are indeed driving a DEADLY WEAPON

STUDENTS:  Driving must become second nature. If your subconscious mind is properly trained by reading the topics on safe driving, you will instinctively react accordingly when driving before you even have the time to think.

PARENTS:
Do not expect your child to respond to your call or message while he/she is driving!
This action is the #1 cause of accidents among teenagers.

There are many apps online for Parents to Monitor and Schedule Restrictions.

Download an App to supervise your child’s driving activity

  1. Road Ready from State Farm
  2. AT&T DriveMode® for Android. 
  3. Life 360 from Google 

these apps help keep young drivers safe by sending a text message to a parent if:

  1. DriveMode is turned off
  2. Auto-Mode is disabled
  3. A new speed-dial number is added

DOWNLOAD A GPS TRACKING APP :
LIFE360  will track the phone, not the car, and will show where your child is located on a live map. It is also a great tool to find their phone if lost or to find them when walking in a busy shopping center like Costco.
iT WILL KEEP RECORD OF THEIR DRIVING SPEED AND PHONE CALLS DURING DRIVING and can also notify you in case of an accident.

PARENTS, PLEASE READ:

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE EXAM

Parents, please note:

Since students seem not to communicate this fact to their parents or guardians, we still receive many phone calls from unaware Parents concerning this matter.
Please make sure your child does not wait until the last minute to pass the exam!. They may not get their certificate of completion in time before their DMV appointment

Many times along this course we are reminding students to allow one to 3 days of delays after passing their exam to receive their certificate.

By law, following the exam, students must download a statement stipulating UNDER THE PENALTY OF PERJURY that they did the course by themselves.
YOU MUST BRING THIS DOCUMENT TO A NOTARY PUBLIC, have it notarized along with YOUR CHILD AND YOUR SIGNATURE, and return IT to us AS  an attachment.
We MUST receive this notarized statement at least 24 hours prior to your appointment to avoid any surprise. AS WE TREAT RECEIVED STATEMENT DURING EVENING SHIFT. There will be a $50 fee for urgent requests on the day of your DMV appointment. (If we can make ourself available- no guarantee)

BY-LAW WE MUST KEEP THIS DOCUMENT 3 YEARS for the DMV.
then allow a 24-hour delay for us to verify the account and unlock the certificate, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR CHILD PASSES THE EXAM 3 DAYS BEFORE THE DMV APPOINTMENT


Anything may happen to delay the sending of their certificate: a computer glitch, server down, power outage, computer virus, etc…A lack of planning on their side does not constitute an emergency on our side. We still do our utmost to send the certificate in time 

A DMV waiting list is about 2 to 3 weeks so they have plenty of time. some students did it in 3 days with 100 percent success, they will need 80 percent to pass.

Reinforce driver’s ed rules

It is your job to help your kids apply the rules they learned in real-life situations. Need some direction?
Here are 7 tips to make your teen a better driver.

THIS IS ESPECIALLY FOR YOUNG MEN:

Young drivers must also understand, especially young males, that they can no longer have a kid attitude like ” showing off ” or desire to look “cool” or “grown-up” while driving. They are grown-up already, possibly too fast but the reality is they will be very soon holding their own life in their hand as well as their passenger’s life…

DRIVING IN REAL LIFE THIS IS NOT A VIDEO GAME!!
STUDENTS: You may be impatient to show off your new talent but If you want to play a racing game,  race to exult all by yourself, any way you want: using a simulator software or go the race track. Not on public roads.

IF YOU CARRY PASSENGERS:
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO SHOW OFF.! Be responsible, be in charge. Respect the rules of the road and make your passengers feel safe.
They will respect you for this.!

 

You should know and NEVER FORGET the consequences of disregarding rules and regulations.
IT TAKES ONLY ONE SECOND TO RUIN A LIFE.
The trauma or sorrow for your family may last a lifetime…

 

WARNING! – IMPORTANT NOTE TO PARENTS AND YOUNG DRIVERS

We dedicate ourselves to teaching this course to help with saving lives including yours. Driving is not a laughing matter and we take it very seriously as we are about to teach you how to drive a deadly weapon.

Some videos on YouTube world recommend young drivers under 18 not watch them because of being graphic.

Remember that we are about to teach you the rules and regulations for driving a deadly weapon.
If some Parents think the experience may be too traumatic for their child then you are not supposed to drive a car. To drive responsively, you must know the consequences of not doing it...

About  Pierre,  webmaster, and support for your online course: 

My incentive is to help young drivers acquire awareness to become wise and safe drivers.
My ambition by creating this website is to help you be self-confident behind the wheel by acquiring knowledge, experience, awareness, understanding, common sense, and insight.
My friendly message:
Honk if you believe in your guardian angel –  Text while driving if you want to meet him…
If you don’t believe in guardian angels then think it is simply your subconscious mind, (your inner PC located in your brain) watching every move you make, every thought you have and if you train it well by studying this course, it will instinctively know how to react and take the wheel for you in extreme danger and you will avoid an accident without realizing what happened.
I avoided countless accidents in my life, thanks to my subconscious mind.

I am of French origin and self-taught in English ( you guessed it)  but I have been living in Las Vegas for the last 47 years. I am  78 and a retired ex-international trucker for all of Europe with over 1 million km in my record. (18-wheelers, exceptional convoys, mountain bus driver for snow weekends in the Alps, and ambulance driver.) with no accident at fault in more than 50 years of driving (some bender fenders) and  I was awarded the Driver’s Golden Palm from the French ” Prevention Routiere”…
I drove 18 wheelers as an international Transport in Europe,(TIR) and I participated in the original construction of Charles De Gaulle  Airport driving 45 tons semis.  I  was a pilot /driver for some oversized convoys in Paris (with Police escort). Then moving to the Alps in France for five years, I was an occasional ambulance driver and an international bus Driver. As such, I regularly drove Children from Paris to the Swiss Alps for snow- ski–class weekends and got serious training for the Ice-and-Snow Rally. on a racing Renault 10 Gordini. During the Army, as secretary of the colonel in a French Air Force base, I was in charge of investigating and reporting soldiers-related accidents. I have seen it all, many were horrifying, and I learned a lot about road hazards and accident prevention. I have no accident in my 60 years of driving records (except 3 or 4 no-fault fender benders )

WHY I DECIDED TO MAKE THIS WEBSITE

My hobby is creating websites for my friends so I offered to create and manage this website under the supervision of the DMV and for LAS VEGAS NV DRIVING SCHOOL, owner instructor Thierry Brest, after witnessing firsthand five teenagers in my neighborhood being crushed in an accident due to the young driver’s inexperience and distraction.
Right in front of my eyes, while we were both waiting to cross the median at an intersection, the young driver was distracted from talking or texting and failed to yield to a big truck going downhill at 50 mph. I was behind them and saw the truck before the impact but was horrified seeing the young driver going ahead! the small compact car crossed the truck’s path as it was entering the intersection with absolutely no time to brake. On impact, the tiny car flew up in the air to be crushed against a tree 30 feet away on the opposite of the intersection. I was, of course, the first one to assist them, I thought I was hardened by witnessing many horrific accidents in my life, but this one hit a sensitive chord and I am hoping my experience and this website, may help save young lives and spare sorrow for their family. 

YOUNG DRIVERS:
BY APPLYING FOR A DRIVER’S LICENSE, YOU ARE ENTERING INTO THE ADULT WORLD.
EDUCATE YOURSELF AND REMEMBER:
YOU WILL BE SOON HOLDING YOUR PASSENGER’S LIFE IN YOUR HANDS WHILE DRIVING A DEADLY WEAPON! (Your car)

and ask yourself:

A trained monkey can turn a steering wheel!

  • What do a trained Monkey and a wise & safe driver have in common?
          –   T    hey both know how to turn the steering wheel

  • What is the difference between a trained Monkey and a wise/safe driver?
           –  Wisdom –  ( A wise driver will instinctively know when, why, and where to turn the wheel, A wise driver is responsible and aware of the danger, knows rules and regulations, and respects them!!! As a Captain on a ship, a driver is in charge of everybody’s life. There is no need to show off, you are a grown-up already !)


What is the definition of wisdom?  
        –  Wisdom is the ability to think and act using knowledge, experience, awareness, understanding, common sense, and insight.

How do we acquire wisdom?
      – By acting like a responsible adult and read the topics for proper training. (especially lessons 4, 5, and 6)

  • lessons 1,2 and 3 are here for the ones who need to pass their permit, I am sorry for the ones who already have it, that may seem boring for you but the DMV wants these to be included in it.

    Thank you for your understanding.
