Course Teaches
Safe Driving
By WANDA HEAD
Ann DEBORAH HOLMES
Learning to drive a car Is easy
for most people. Almost anyone
can qualify for a driver’s licen
se after a few weeks under the
guidance of an able instructor.
Learning to drive safely is not
easy. Safe driving depends chief
ly on experience. It demands the
skill of an expert driver plus a
certain mental attitude.
Since many teenagers find
themselves driving at one point
of their life, driving courses at
many high schools train skilled
drivers every year.
