SetDriver Education
- 21 Artifacts
Early driver education in the United States was loose and inconsistent. New drivers might learn from a car dealership, or from a civic organization like the YMCA. In the 1930s, driver education became a standard part of public high school instruction. Courses involved a blend of study behind the desk and practice behind the wheel. By the early 2000s, school budget concerns had shifted driver education back into the private sector.
